From what I've researched, the Carolina Reaper seeds sold from that website are typically not from stable hybrids, so that tracks well. The Jalapeno seeds I chose was an organic heirloom Jalapeno M. Also, it's possible that a bell pepper pollinated one of the first crosses as there was a bell...

The mother of the crossed seeds was a reaper plant grown from reaper seeds sold by the pucker butt pepper company. I had first self pollinated a reaper plant and a jalapeno plant in isolation from each other. After the pods started growing, I put them in my garden plot 3ft from each other and...

I suggest shaking the base of each plant within the first few hours of the lighting cycle. If you have a fan running over them, this will be your best bet to quickly getting them pollinated without using a q-tip or plucking a flower to pollinate other flowers. This was a suggestion I found on a...

Thanks! Yes, I labeled them A thru E with A being the self-pollinated with bags pre labeled for those letters as F3 - A, F3 - B,... and so on. The pots have masking tape on them so I can reuse the pots for the next batch. I plan to plant these in a larger garden when the last frost comes and...

I plan on back crossing the F3s from Vincent and Julius with an F1 plant. Thanks for responding and keeping an eye out

I didn't mention, but yes it is a cross between Capsicum Annuum Jalapenos and Capsicum Chinese Carolina Reaper peppers. I kind of wanted one round of open pollination to see what varieties I could get from the F1. So after a plant has been self pollinated in isolation, are they not safe to mix...

Hello, I'm new to the forums here. I wanted to bring up a cross I came upon when growing carolina reapers and jalapenos in a community garden. I've been told that jalapeno crosses are very rare and seeds of a resulting cross don't tend to produce fruit. I guess I proved that wrong? The F1 pod I...

I'm a new grower. Started with new reaper seeds bought from pucker butt pepper company. I've been addicted to growing them ever since. I came on this forum to meet fellow enthusiasts of hot peppers and possibly share information about my carolina reaper/jalapeno cross I've been breeding out to...
