Paul, the color is the typical lava yellow.  I am pretty sure later ahi's will have a different shape though.    Good job!!!

Paul, your seedlings look great.  Time to plant in some huge pots right?  Looks like you are going to have peppers coming out of your ears.   I have not planted any new plants.     I do have old plants all over the yard.  I haven't picked any chili's for many months.  Plants were over loaded...

Paul, if you notice how these plants produce, they seem to produce mostly on new growth.  Given enough time they just keep on getting bigger.   Plants can be absolutely monstrous.  As time goes on the plants do get tired.  At a certain point it is really a better idea to just pull the plants...

Paul, that plant on the upper left is stout!  Great bunch of purple plants.   By the way, the parents of the seeds I sent you are still alive.  Covered over with pods.  Its windy in Panama and dry.  Temps in the mid 90's.  Plants are not growing.  Just hanging on.  Some are still making new...

Randers2-I am not an expert on chili peppers.  However, in my opinion that seedlings looks stout and healthy.  I wouldn't do anything to this seedling.  No pruning.  Let it do its thing.  Don't over feed it.  The key later is going to be getting this seedling into a big pot.  The bigger the...

My camera isn't nearly as nice as yours Paul.

  These are couple of attachments to photo's of this crossed plant.  Its been awhile since I posted a photo so I hope I did this right.  

Paul-the plain green color does sometimes manifest.  Look at the seedling again.  Take a look at the stalk.  If the stalk is green it is a green plant.  My green plants have red pods.  Not lava red.  Just plain red.  A kind of dull red.  Did I send you any seed that is labeled green?  Usually...

Hi Paul and of course hi to everyone.  Yes, we are in the middle of the summer here in Panama.  I have many Purple Thunder plants growing.  I have 11 F6 Lava Yellow Purple Thunder plants.  Plus 6 mixed F5 Purple Thunder plants.  Plus various other Purple Thunder plants.  I also have many other...

Hello everyone and Happy Holidays!!   F6 plants are now ripening.  All but one plant is ripening Lava Yellow.  There is a total of eleven plants.  One plant is different and is ripening Lava Red.  All seed came from 2 pods from a Lava Yellow parent.   The first pods are giant.  Two of the big...

Paul, no one has given me any reports on their experience with Purple Thunder.  If I hear any I will let you know though.   Oh, my f6 grow is now starting to show ripening pods.  I planted 11 plants.  All the seed came for this grow came from a Purple Thunder 3 specimen with Lava Yellow color. ...

The pods on the young plants are giant.  Thanx for kind words but the real compliment goes to you for starting this new variety.  I googled Purple Thunder chili's today.  There are others who have tried to mix super hot peppers with Pimenta De Neyde and have not come up with anything like this...

Happy Holidays to all.  I am working on my F6 grow right now.  As some of you know, I live in Panama.  I will be growing Purple Thunder year round here.  My goal is to try and produce better, more stabilized specimens.  I did try and send Purple Thunder seed to the US but was thwarted by USDA. ...

Good luck with fighting the white fly.  I have them on my oldest plants now.  We are in the rainy season here in Panama.  White fly's don't really like the rainy season.  The only thing I have been doing is pruning the infected area's.  Its not really helping but the affected plants are just...

Paul, I might have gotten a cross that caused that.  I will never know.

Today's harvest.  These are the mystery pods.  F (5) Yellow lava or caramel These are BJH3 F(F5) yellow lava or caramel blocky pods These are plain jane red's.  BJH3-no purple gene-large pods-really juicy and especially spicy.  Plants are plain green. BJH 3 lava red or blood red-blocky pods...

Hello and welcome to the forum.  I live in Panama which also has a tropical climate and I grow a lot of chili's.  I also have issues occasionally with white fly's.  I usually don't experience them during the rainy season which I am in now.  Or, if I do experience them during the rainy season...

Beautiful caramel color.  Good job.

I only planted 2 starts using this pod so I doubt I will have any luck.     The stinger is a tough one.  I have Carolina Reaper pods with no stingers too.

Paul that pod is going to get more caramel in color.  Beautiful.   Ok, I have a strange pod.  I cannot ID it except to say it is probably a PJH3 pod.  I found it in a big pail full of pods I picked today and I was not paying attention.  How stupid of me.  Look at this mutant!! My question to...
