I have a friend that said he crossed a bhut with lettuce and got spicy lettuce that year. I let him run with it for a month or so til I pointed out his cross was not from growing them close, it was from cutting then with the same knife. Grow the seeds.
The plant stores water in the pod, so the capsaisin fairies can drink after making pods hot. They won't be as hot if the fairies haven't made their last visit, which is when they always drink the rest of the water.
Good chance since bees aren't highly OCD by design. I would save seed from both. Years ago I had a pepper intertwining in another plant. Saved the seed. Most so far no dice but a few I gave a friend ended up being crosses. So I am slowly working through the rest in hopes of finding another...
Well 40+ ear of white corn and a dozen or so ears of Gentleman's corn in the freezer. 3 pounds of Parsnips and 20+ pounds of carrots harvested, processed and froze. 10+ pounds of russets in the potato box that Jr. and I built and put in the basement. There is also a sweet potato the size of a...

At around the 83 degree mark you need to tap that plant Chris. Get the pollen moving. Come on man you can't let that plant be an old spinster, she can get herself off without some buzzing bees.
Mine is hellish more rough but all with wood I had laying around and the mirrors I got for free. Been using it for 5 years now I think. I used 2 inch drywall screws to make the "pegs" for shelf support and like you said moving one affects the one below. All-in-all it works great, sits at 85...
Just wanted to jump on here to say thanks to Romy6.
Thanks James for the box of peppers from your harvest a couple weeks ago. I got to burn while trying some peppers I never had before and reinforce the fear some friends have when I hand them a somewhat harmless looking pepper.
YOU ROCK!
