I was gonna say "jelly." But, in light of these past few comments, in gonna amend that to include both "standard pepper jelly" and "K-Y."

If you think you collected the seeds for these from a SuperHot pod, but you were growing around variegated annuums and standard Orange Habs, it's possible that it crossed with one of those smooth-azz emmer-effers, and it's likely that would be enough to cause the progeny to have the smooth...

All I want my Zapotecs to devote energy to is turning red. I have hundreds of green pods, many of which are big and corky and awesome... But no red ones yet. My patience is wearing thin.

Good idea. I think the best place to start would be the flowers. Close picture of those tells you a lot, as can general info about the size on the Bloom's diameter, how many flowers per node, etc. A great place to kinda get a sense of it, but probably not hard facts, is Semillas.de . Peter is...

No judgments, just sincere advice: eat some chiles! They're great!!!

There's one genius: Capsicum. There are a few common "domesticated" species within that genius: annuum, baccatum, chinense, frutescens, pubescens. There are at least twenty other species within Capsicum, generally considered to be "wild" but many are being cultivated in ppl's gardens more and...

Sounds good. I really an torn between the 80 and the 160l. Not sure what size I'll really need...

If we're talking about the *species, I feel pretty sure that's Capsicum chinense in the OP. Guessing which exact cultivars are involved in the cross might be a bit harder to do. I haven't been growing peppers for all that long, but I've been playing around on internet forums for ages. When...

I been using hay. It's rad.

I measured my tallest Zapotec. 33" from the earth to the top leaf. Most were in the 24-30" range. I don't think any are near as bushy as Lewis's, though.

They never seem to do more than just chew one or two holes in each pod. They're such dickheads. But yeah, i considered the notion of a "sacrificial pepper," but I'm not very optimistic it will work out that way.

Those are some killer pictures; loving the look of these pods

Good point regarding the mold. Not worried about eggs, though. I'm also not really to worried about the open pollination thing; the closest neighboring other plants are all YBS, worst that will happen is maybe they'll be crossed with a different 7Pot. . . I mostly just can't stand the idea...

Bitd, when I grew Early Jalapeños, I'd her that occasional pod with crazy-hot burns, while most of then we're "normal." The Zapotecs I grew last year, as far as I recall, didn't do that to me. Tbh, though, most of them got smoked or sauced. Like many peppers, I felt like late-August pods were...

In my view, the corking is just evidence that the pod has poor on size rather quickly. It's the chile equivalent of stretch marks, lol. I often notice corking on Jalapeños before they even reach full size, long before they are ripe.

Jedisushi06 hooked me up with the Choco Brainstrains last fall; I'm growing them out right now. I haven't had any type ones yet, but the seeds germinated 100%, the plants are growing vigorously, and both are just vagazzled with plenty of correct-pheno pods. Like other Choco Brains and Caramel...

I gotta bring my tape measure out to the Jalapeño patch, see how tall they are. Some of my Zapos seem pretty tall, mostly on the shady end of the bed. Others are short. None of mine are nearly as bushy as IdahoLewis's plants; those look great.... But my bushiest Zapos are also the tallest, so I...
