    That looks like pepper maggot fly damage. We get them here in South Africa, looks the same. Check on other fruit for 1 - 3 black spots like stings. Hopefully I'm wrong

    That will make a nice deep reservoir for the roots. Also no need to fill them as often. All the best. Will be watching

    I've in South Africa, Durban, home of the poison and I can tell you know that the Rocotos grow well here, we have sub tropical climate. Just imagine where they originate from 😉. Its all about strategy. A nice shade cloth from the hot midday sun, they love rain and a bit of wind also.

    That purple thunder sounds like a winner 🤩 the Cap 455 Baccatum will also do nicely.

    Thank you. My favourites are bbgs and Baccatums so I had to do a cross with the 2. Anything could happen in F2 though. It's going to be fun growing out future generations

    Interspecific hybrids

    Thank you very much, I've tried a number of pods. Off the 3 plants I grew, most pods had the same taste. I culled one plant as it was giving small round fruit only, with no seeds. The 2nd plant with the pods pictured in my post have 2 types of taste. One is very sweet raspberry like sweetness...

    Hi, I'm Royce from South Africa and I've been growing peppers for a few years now. I've been really loving the baccatums and the Chinense BBGs so last year 2020 I decided to try my hand at some hybridizing and thought why not try cross the two species. I made a friend in Italy who has been...

    yield Flowering stems keep falling off

    @FoxHound4690 Hello, hope you are well? A little piece of advice someone gave me when I started my pepper Journey " Less is more" has helped me in my growing and often lots of fertiliser and water can do more harm then good. I'm sure your plant will eventually start holding flowers. Give it...

    issue My seedlings are wilting. What's going on?

I myself use T8s, cfls and some par 38 led lamps and they all...
