Some of my scorpions are bumpy and some are not. The bumpy ones look mean for sure...I was just curious why some are and some are not. These pictures are all scorpions on different plants. All the bumpy are one one plant, the smooth on another. I haven't seen a mix on the same plant.

My sad little haul that I'm still happy about...my very first super hots! Scorpions and a single reaper. Probably about 200 more pods on the plants most still green.
Now to decide what to do with them. I don't have a pair large enough to straight up eat one so I'll have to figure out...
First harvest. Scorpions and a single reaper. Probably a couple hundred peppers in total on the plants, most still green. Not sure what I'm doing with these yet. Gotta be honest...I'm a bit scared of them...lol
Interesting. Thanks for the input. I'll definitely update once they start to color up. Look forward to giving them a try once they are ready. Thanks again.
Labeled Black Habanero
And this one Chocolate Habanero
Neither of them looking very habanero like. Only thing I have planted that looks even remotely similar is one Chocolate Bhut.
I do have one chocolate bhut plant. It's next to the plant that I have labeled as the chocolate hab above but not close to the pepper labeled as black habanero. I may have to wait until they start showing some color to get an idea. Not that it matters too much. I'm sure they'll turn out to be...
Oh boy...it just got complicated.
How do you tell male from female flowers? Or do you just mean the mother plant as the receiver of pollen and father as the giver?
That's cool. I figured I'd just play a little and see what happened. There's only maybe 10-15 blooms right now on my reapers so I thought I'd try hand pollinating them and then I saw a few big flowers on one of my chocolate habs so I figured...why not. So I just went from the last to reaper and...
I was messing around and tried hand pollinating some of the flowers on my reapers with a small paint brush. Then I decided to try pollinating a few of the flowers on a chocolate hab plant. I used the same brush to see if it would create a reaper/chocolate hab cross. Is cross pollinating...
Awesome. I may have to "borrow" your idea and give it a try once some of my peppers are ripe. I think the blue/blackberry would be really good too. I have some really nice organic blackberry jelly in the cupboard that maybe I'll use (cheat) and make a really small batch to try out once I have...
That's what she said. Sorry, couldn't resist.
Seriously though...how did this turn out? Certainly you tasted it at some point. I'm looking for a good sweet-ish sauce to make for myself and for gifts at Christmas.
Also, any other ideas for a sweet or sweet and smokey sauce to check out? I'm a...
I never pick my japs until they are red unless I really really need one for something and all I have are green. I don't dislike the green...just much prefer the red. But like a big dummy...I didn't even plant any this year :banghead:
