Just for future reference: I have checked the literature. The cluster trait is actually monogenic, but recessive (i.e. the single fruit trait is dominant). So the phenotype will first reappear in F2 after crossing and additional candidates will appear in F3 (and later). See e.g.: Curr. Sci...

Really fun to read through this thread! Just some remark: if you find an interesting phenotype, don't throw it out when it is hot, it could still be heterozygous and reward you next year with heatless offspring.

Yes, here you can see that the correct ID actually is C02598 (with a zero): https://genebank.worldveg.org/#/a/10.18730/127BN=

OK, the correct name actually is CO 2598 (with an "O", not a zero). For that I actually find sources...

I am fascinated by the fact that some baccatums have a leafy scent. Bishop's Crown leves, when very young and after overwintering, smell like orange leaves. I have also noticed this in Sugar Rush Peach Stripey and Aji Fantasy, albeit less pronounced. I am thinking about breeding and selecting...

Hi, that is not a nice thing to say about somebody you don't even know. Maybe you could reconsider that message (which would also be relatively off-topic). Thanks, Annuchin :)

In picture four that's spider mites.

He already ran out of seeds from what I have heard (or is close to).

I did a literature search: there are actually several trace capsaicinoids that have not yet been tested for pungency organoleptically (e.g. 4,5-dehydrocapsaicin). Maybe one of these is hotter than capsaicin and has become a major capsaicinoid in the Warthog.

As you can only cross two strains at a time, I would actually conceptualize this as a no-heat Ubatuba Cambuci (= Bishop's Crown, Nepalese Bell etc.) crossed and then backcrossed once or twice with a superhot chinense (depending on the original order of the Wartryx crosses).

Matthew Arthur's Warthog seems to be the newest and by far hottest strain. Check out last week's “Chase the Heat” episodes with Johnny Scoville... Keaton West and Jimmy Pickles also have taste tests on YouTube and come to the same conclusion. Jimmy Pickles' video is definitely not for the...

It is important to note that there is no indication whatsoever that this frutescens introgression has anything to do with the superhot phenotype. It is most likely nothing more than a coincidence. The superhot mutation could even have originated before that introgression.

Pepper varieties are always inbred and have already gone through that bottleneck during creation of said variety and all plants of your large group will be genetically identical. The only problem would be the accumulation of deleterious spontaneous mutations and the hybridization with other...

That bulb is not bright enough and has a very low electrical efficiency (= rip-off). What you want are standard 17.5 W 2500 lumen 4000 K (neutral white) ones. I use these regularly for raising my plants indoor. You definitely don't need special spectra bulbs. A higher lamp would be much better...

I have always be a plant guy and had grown chilis on a small scale for many years. In 2019, I have started breeding hot peppers. Current projects are crossing cool phenotypes into other species (stripey, superhot, leaf smell, fruit flavor (Reaper/Orange Hab)) as well as investigating fruit...
