glad to help out, I'll be happy when the weather stays warm enough to get my plants out, my apartment is full of little plants waiting to go out side, but that may be another week or so., yeah let me know about the Tovarii seeds the ones I got from a friend must have been a bit to old so I get...

Hi, no mine has the typical praet. leaves, which are fairly fuzzy but not jagged like that photo.   George 

Well I now have 3 lanceolatums that are all doing fine now at first I thought I might loose the weakest one as it had some damage at the soil level on the stem so I added a bet more soil around it and that seems to have helped it recover as there is now new leaves and growth the biggest one if...

I would say that the plants come from F2 early reaper varieties as the first batch of reapers had all kinds of shapes show up I got some off pheno type reapers that looked more like Naga compared to the later reapers that are being sold the ones I'm growing this year come from last years...

I would take a look at what Judy at pepperlovers.com has for sale, she is one of the best vendors here. I can't say just what it may be as it could be a cross of anything most likely a baccatum of some sort.

Hi Wilds, those are some very interesting peppers, I really like the first one, but they are all very nice. I couldn't say just what they are, but they are some kind of ornamental hybrids so unless the seeds are F1 they will not look the same the second time they are grown. I would keep the...

Really nice John your plant is a real winner, I have several tovarii seeds in a planter now at 14 days I gave them a soak for 20 hours in a dilute plant growth hormone to break seed dormancy but I didn't use the right amount and I don't know just how old the seeds are I plan to remove some of...

I have two healthy lanceolatums seedlings make it out of four seeds a third plant is pretty sickly looking, but I will let it continue to grow if it does at all. My tovarii seeds though have not shown any sprouts yet i have no idea how old they might be, I might remove a few from the seed...

Very nice John, I planted twenty seeds of C. tovarii, I gave them and 4 lanceolatum seeds a good soak in a plant hormone mix to break seed dormancy.  With in 2 weeks 3 of my lanceolatums had popped so I planted them, but one never came up right now I have one healthy lance and one sickly one...

The pods look pretty close to the description of what they should be, hopefully they are true cardenasii, it would be great if they were.

It might be a long Piri Piri pepper that is grown locally and sold at your markets, but they look a little to big which could be because it is cultivated, you might ask the manager at the market where you got them. 

I can pretty much say its a C. annuum by the pod set, shape and thick flesh, Its quite possible that its a cherry pepper crossed with a purple variety. I don't trust buying any kind of seeds from ebay as you can never tell what you might end up with.

Hi Chiltepin, Yes I do attribute my success or luck as it maybe to the gibberellic acid. The seeds came from Italy and even been rolled through the mail machine so I really didn't have much hope for them, the last time I tried to grow them and some others, I just soaked them in diluted peroxide...

A little update on my lanceolatum and tovarii seeds, I checked them this morning and discovered that 3 out 0f 4 lanceolatum seeds had sprout tails but no tovarii sprouts yet but since all of the tovarii seeds looked like they should sprout anytime do to plumpness and color of the seeds I decided...

Thanks for the info on 17020 and the usage rate for the Gib. acid. I knew about adding the alcohol to it to dissolve the powder but was sure if I had the PPM right as it turned out I was at 40PPM So I was pretty much on the money. All the seeds I soaked in the solution are all plump and pretty I...
