I soaked my seeds in diesel for an extra long time, so maybe that helped 🤪
I have 3 backup plants that are producing pods quite regularly and one that has several hundred flowers but no pods.
I used Ocean Forest in my growbags, maybe that helped.
Quite juicy and a good bit of a kick. Heat doesnt hit right away. I use them in sauces and pepper jam/jelly. Just have to wait for the hundreds of other pods to ripen. 😉
Picked a few from the forest. 3 giant yellow rocotos, a huge corno di toro, some ripe bananas, and some oddball red peppers that came from a plant grown from datil seeds saved form last year.
