    pod Stripey ghost peppers

    Yes, essentially. These are plant pigments called anthocyanins. Some plants naturally have a lot more of these pigments than others (Pimenta de Neyde, for example) but in your case I would guess its a response to plenty of light exposure. Like a suntan. The markings will likely fade out as the...

    news Warthog

    My approach is to take nail clippers and *very carefully* clip just the seam around the edge of the seed to free it. Make sure you have good lighting so you can see what you are doing. Also, using a jeweler's loupe or some other means of magnification helps a lot. I also put a drop of water on...

    pics Carribean Red Hots?

    Bishop's Crown was just one possibility that came immediately to mind based on the general shape of the pods. I'm not at all saying that is what it must be. Those bell-shaped phenos are actually pretty common among baccatum types. Unfortunately, you may never know for certain exactly which...

    pics Carribean Red Hots?

    Those pods look more like a baccatum than a chinense to me. Perhaps a Bishop's Crown or Aji Fantasy. The presence of green or gold markings inside the flowers would confirm it as capsicum baccatum species. Whatever it is, I don't think it is a Carribean Red Habanero.

    It's not a different color, but apparently there is a gnarlier pheno of the Big Yellow Mama out there now: BYM Gnarly

    pod More mixed up seeds

    Yes, it might be an unintentional cross, or there may have been a mix-up with the seeds and it could be another variety entirely from what you expected. I have had yellow Bonnet plants that put out inconsistent phenos like that before. So the inconsistency doesn't necessarily mean that it is a...

    plant Please help me identify these mislabeled peppers.

    They look like some kind of annuum to me. To me, the shape resembles an Aleppo, but those typically ripen to red not orange. You might never know for certain what specific variety those are, but if they are around Jalapeno heat level then you could use them as Jalapeno substitutes in various...

    harvesting CGN 21500 Harvesting advice ?

    You can tell the pods are ripe when the green goes away and they blush peach. Some of the purple may fade out a bit at the same time. If you really want to be sure, you can wait until they go a little soft (overripe). But you should be able to see the color change. I have also seen this variety...

    misc Bonsai : Annuum ? Chinense ? Pubescens ? Etc......

    Orange Blob Habanero might be a good candidate to consider. This one is only 7.5" tall by 12" wide, and forks just 3 inches above the soil. I did not top or prune this plant at all; that is just how it naturally grew in this small container. And the pods taste pretty nice too, like a milder and...

    I don't know if their seeds are organic or not, but three vendors that I have had success with are: Hippy Seed Company White Hot Peppers Texas Hot Peppers Another vendor with a very good reputation is Semillas, although I haven't ordered from them myself. I believe all of these vendors ship...

    Carolina reaper

    :welcome: Your pods from this year look like some kind of red Habanero, while the ones from last year have more of a Moruga or other Scorpion shape to my eyes. Very hard to specify a variety though, since those are both fairly common chinense phenotypes. Neither is really what I would expect...

    news Warthog

    My understanding is that the Warthog is actually a 5-way cross. According to the Internet, the Wartryx is a Trinidad Scorpion x 7 Pot Jonah x Ubatuba Cambuci. Now crossed with the 7 Pot Primo (a Trinidad 7 Pot x Naga Morich cross) to create the Warthog. So who can say what the 5-way genetic...

    chinense Current Consensus on Cili Goronong?

    The Goronong is an interesting yellow hab type. I found it to be slightly sweet, slightly tropical fruity taste, and with a fairly toned-down chinense flavor. The flavor reminded me a little of the Grenada Seasoning pepper, except that the Goronong is much hotter. I would say it peaks around...

    disease Fusarium?

    If you mean the fuzzy part under the leaves, those are just trichomes. They are a part of the plant itself and nothing to worry about. They are the same structures that make pubescens look fuzzy. If you mean the two slightly discolored spots on the leaf in the first picture, well it is pretty...

    plant Mis labeled, not Aji Cachucha. In Malta.

    I agree with CD; it looks more like a chinense than a pubescens to me. Like CD said, the flower looks wrong for a pubescens. Plus the constricted calyx. And pubescens aren't the only pepper species that can be fuzzy. Orange Blob and Goat's Weed are examples of a chinense and an annuum that are...

    plant What are these?

    The peppers look to be some sort of baccatum type. It would be difficult to guess the exact variety, since bell shaped phenos like that are fairly common in the baccatum species. The giant leaf appears to be a chinense. I have seen that before in chinenses with Trinidadian genetics; 7 Pots and...
