Here is a pic of 2pods with a size reference. I grow them in a self-made ebb and flow system, lights are 3 COBs. Nutrition is MaxiGro / MaxiBloom. The plants itself look beautiful.

Are these P. Dreadie pods? I bought the seeds from a forum member, however something might have gone wrong here... They look weird and are less spicy than a Jalapeno. They do have a Chinese flavour. I tasted 4 pods, they all were seedless, might be an issue as well...

I love rocotos, so I"m always curious about new varieties. They really look nice!

This story really impressed me. The pods are amazing, too!   Does anyone has some seeds to share left? I don't have many varieties to swap cause i just moved here (but i do have some heirloom tomato seeds if someone is interested). And of course SSAE or dollars would also be possible :)...

The cross is very interesting! You got some nice looking plants and pots as well! How hot are they?

CAP are the ascension numbers of the German "Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK)". I don't know the German Research Centre for Biotechnology and whether there are connetions to the IPK. http://www.ipk-gatersleben.de   and there are some more: CO ### should be Asian...

Just moved here, New Haven CT. But I am not native. So this will be my first season in New England... we will see how it turns out :)

You planted the rocotos directly into the soil. Did you plant some in pots as well? How are your experiences? Thanks!

You can cross a annuum with a chinense, but not a baccatum with a pubescens. See this table: http://www.thechileman.org/guide_crossing_peppers.php

  This is kind of wicked :hell:. But one should be humble, right? ... ;)   Btw, I like your C. pubescens focus, you have really nice plants!

wow, u have a nice chili school! do they behave?

  ... in Germany.   Don't want to get in conflict with the US customs authorities.

  Well, I mainly grew C. pubescens and C. baccatum (love them both !) varieties and some C. chinense.  I don't like the typical C. annuum flavor and I also think that C. annuum plants are quite boring. So I didn't grow them munch, despite some "basic" stuff like Jalapenos. I moved to the New...

  Well, I left the seeds in a moving box, they are waiting for my return and are now part of a long lasting germination capacity experiment ;)   Thx for the info on the possibility to import small quantities of seed!

Aren't they beautiful, those hairy beasts? I love Rocotos!
