Very interesting hogleg. It would be so cool to be able to test each chilli for its compounds and cross accordingly to achieve specific flavour profiles.

Funny you should mention big and strong, my Peach BOC (wait.. AKPBOC lol) was my biggest plant of the season, i did not top it and instead of growing like an umbrella it forked and kept growing upwards.

Personally it took tasting a few varieties before I was able to distinguish different flavours of hot to superhot chinense. I think the biggest contributor to flavour profiles is colour. For example in my experience: Red and Caramel Ghost - floral like pot puri (hated these) Choc Ghost and...

I grew Andy Kings BOC from seeds acquired from whitehotpeppers (jcw10) and my one plant produced huge, gnarly peach pods that taste unbelievable and are the hottest thing Ive ever grown. Im guessing it was either unstable or crossed but Im over wintering that plant now and cant wait to see what...

Definitely possible but would normally be in the F2 generation. I would have thought all the F1 plants should be the same..?

Agreed they look amazing!

I grew this variety last yeahr after receiving the seeds from Justin. Looking at both of your examples the variety must be quite stable as my plant produced pods that looked the same. I was extremely impressed by the production of this plant. I was surprised by how hot it was and loved the...

Definitely that pod was warped due to environmental factors. So in other words had that same pod grown under the same conditions as the other pods on the plants it would have turned out like the others. P. Dreadie didnt create the shape of his select strain, he simply encouraged that...

Nice

Your brave if I had heart palpitations I would AVOID eating a whole Reaper lol

Plant doesnt look that bad to be honest the big leaves on the bottom half are just old and heavy. As long as your new growth towards the top of the plant looks healthy the plant is fine. Could do with a bigger pot though, I would stick to the same potting mix since the plant is obviously...

Looking good, my chinense varieties also start off slow then pickup later in the season. Dont panic if the early flowers drop for a while if your plants are happy enough they will fruit later. I have a choc hab that for two years in a row produced about 10 fruit from Dec to Feb dropping hundreds...

Update: after a couple more years growing I have grown both topped and non topped plants of some varieties and can honestly say from a production point of view there is a negligible difference. The argument used often for topping plants is that more main branches you have the more fruit will be...

In my experience Baccatums have continuously grown and produced fruit all season whilst Chinense and Anuums go through growth and fruiting cycles. This may depend on different varieties and growers but this is what I have observed in my garden. I dont cycle my nutes.

Personally I wasnt impressed by the MoA the ones I grew tasted closer to bell peppers. The same year I grew P. Dreadie SS SB and was very impressed they had a unique fruit like flavour I really like. Also liked the Bahamian Goat but found the Peach Ghost SS from Pepper Lover to be very similar...

Perhaps explain what these are and why they might benefit the plant..

I agree cloning works well. Im pretty certain that a lot of commercially available seeds are in fact F1 seeds from stable parents.

+ chook and cow shit. And as morugawelder said, Potash when blooming. Works for me and the soil improves over time and its very cheap way to grow so its a win win situation. I grow in pots.

Sugar rush cream is definitely not soapy. Its more pumpkin shaped and very nice but takes forever to ripen.

Anuums 4 months Chinense and Baccatums 4-5 months
