All 50,000+ varieties of Capsicum are unique for at least one trait. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Capsicum_cultivars

In reading up on old capsicum literature today I found a few observations about planting density...single plants tended to produce larger individual fruit and more than 3 tended to produce much lower individual fruit size. The recommendation was 2-3 plants per cluster... This was direct...

This paper is a decent presentation on the subject of cross pollination. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1755-1315/196/1/012008

I've planted triads, sets of 3 in a pot. Together they tend to be the same size as a single plant in a pot tends to be. I haven't noted a strong difference in yield or anything. When space is limited it is a handy trick if you are going to screen and select for traits but otherwise it may not...

There is a correlation between increased outcrossing and stigma length. Longer stigmas result in increased cross pollination. Study suggests the major pollinators are insects like bees however the same studies suggest that bees are attracted to bright flowers and thus by having plants that...

Delphinidin occurs in Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum and it's presence in the Solanaceae is synapomorphic. Thus as a trait it is ancestral. However since it is ancestral we can view it in terms of alleles, in this we can introduce alleles for increased Delphinidin expression to lines...

Forgive my interjection but have you tried Bhutlah S.L.P.? My understanding is that it is the special one and that it is more of a red-brown.

Many plant waxes are insoluble in water, barely soluble in alcohols and strongly soluble in things like acetone. Acetone is going to dissolve and recover such waxes. Acetone will also dissolve some plastics. Moreover many plastics are essentially a hard wax, HDPE is such a plastic. Many...

I'd probably use a microwave transparent solvent and Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) for a fast and efficient extraction protocol. What was the recovery % of oil by weight? If you take the PPM value of recovery and multiply by 16 you can obtain a (somewhat crude)SHU value.

Oxalic acid calcium salts are safe in low amounts and are found in many plants like spinach however these same acids and salts produce increasingly toxic results when ingested such as with dumbcane aka Dieffenbachia. You can look up the toxicology of Dieffenbachia for more information. As for...

I found that my forum experience was and is greatly enhanced by ignoring posts of people whose personality defects detract from the integrity, quality and accuracy of the forum. It is a wonderful function. It allows me to eliminate the garbage postings from people who cannot have a mature...

It is true, peppers like this spread from birds as do Lycium and Solanum, which also bear small red berries. Bird peppers are frequently feral naturalized populations of Capsicum with small, red and hot berries. There are a number of them around the world. It is an interesting pepper you have...

It appears to be a pequin form.

Welcome!

Sure open pollinated seeds aren't 100% true but in this case... If you buy a product from a notoriously dishonest man with little to no integrity then it should not come as a surprise when it turns out they lied about what it was. Fool me once.
