I just started some Lemon Drop x Burning Bush F2 even though my grow tent is pretty crowded >.>   I can't help myself either

I don't usually eat my pods straight but I do eat them fresh chopped on my food quite often. My favourite this year has to be my own Lemon Drop x Burning Bush, the flavour is like a lemon drop with habanero tones and the burn is intense yet quick to fade. It gives my mouth a chance to reset...

Orange Habs, Serrano, Thai, Rainbow Cayenne, Ghost, Bells, Banana, Anaheim, Poblano, Jalapeno and sometimes Scotch Bonnets   Honestly it's not a great selection which is the main reason I started growing my own peppers.I wanted more flavours and varieties.

Eh?   They still ripen just fine, they end up yellow with the purple/black staining, rather than green with the same stains. Taste is not effected at all. You don't understand how freckles/tanning work to protect skin. When your skin is exposed to UV radiation the cells develop pigments that...

Those will turn yellow but retain the sunburn colour. It doesn't effect the taste and is only pigment to protect the pepper from further damage, similar to freckles on your skin.

Here's my Lemon Drop X Burning Bush F1   This is Plant 3 that is more Lemon drop shaped than the Plant 1 and 2

The 7 pot Bubble gum Large is by far the oilest of the reds I'm growing this year. My nose and eyes were tingling just from cutting a few open to harvest the seeds.

The first true size pod is ripening today on plant 1 and plant 3 has several starting to turn. I'll have some seeds hopefully by the weekend. I'll be starting them indoors so that I can get F2 fruit over the winter.   If I have enough seeds I'll be sending them out after I harvest.

I had burning knuckles after sticking my hands into bags of dried super hot pods, the oils and dust transferred from the pods to the bag then rubbed on to my hands. It wasn't for several hours after that my hands started burning. It was INTENSE, no amount of soap was getting it off or stopping...

I'll be starting a few of them immediately after I harvest. So we'll have to see.    There's definite seeds starting and they aren't failed black specks inside the pod so I'm hopeful that they're viable. The true pod shape and size is very different from the stressed form in the first round of...

Good news! I have seeds forming in the second round of pods on Plant 1 and Plant 2. I still might be able to send out F2 pods this fall when they ripen. 

I'm looking to grow SRR and SRP next year along with getting rid of some varieties I don't care for as much. So far My west coast seeds scotch bonnets have been a poor performer outdoors I have other Caribbean varieties that are loaded and doing great while these plants aren't doing much at all...

It's a bit early for me to tell what variety is going to be my favourite, a lot of my plants are still ripening their first round of true pods. So far Fatalii and Bahamian Goats have been great. I'll definitely be growing them again next year for sauce making.
