Not calling myself a master grower, but here is my answer anyway... You really cannot leave out the dominant/recessive apsect, since this knowledge is the key to figure out in advance what traits will be expressed in the pods on the F1-plant. Say, you cross a stabile variety with yellow fruit...

Looking good, when do you expect to make the new seeds available on your site..?

Some more of my crosses, final results are years away, but I am enjoying the process. ;)  My first cross was Naga Morich (c. chinense) x Pequin de Ischia (annuum) and goal was and is still to develop cultivars with earlier fruit-set and ripening, since it can be challenging to grow chinense in...

I hope I am not spoiling the fun for you now... Well, I knew that - that is why I asked Frog Dog if he had actually discovered a new species. Thanks for letting us all know once more... Also, I do agree that we should use the proper nomenclature - exactly why I tried to point out the irony in...

Pretty annoying thread with so many people who think they know better and feel the need to say it out loud... Frog Dog, good luck with naming your stabilized variety (or did you discover a new species?) Let us hope people will not judge your naming skills too harshly.

Yes, they are. I will try to get some better examples showing more coloration in the next few days... Yes, I am - this year the F-5 generation, a few more days and I will be able to show a full-sized mature pod of this years selection which is very similar to the F4-plant.

Starting up this glog now that things are starting to ripen. I am growing mostly my own crosses - due to very bad experiences in the past I am not sharing seeds of my crosses, but other varieties I am willing to share/trade... My climate here in Denmark is a little colder than Maine-climate, I...

I use nothing, just careful watering keeping it on the dry side...

Answer: no, no drainage holes.

Pequin de Ischia

How did things turn out with that red-leaved plant of yours..? Did it stay red or reddish and will you be growing it on this year?

They are normally annuum and flavorwise I have tried some that taste cayenne-like and some Pequin-like, they are generally very hot and good for drying. I am working on some dark-leaved types with chinense-like flavors that also dry well. Link to Stuard in Italy...

   They are two different types. One matures from black to cream/pinkish, the other from black to red. This is the black to red type http://thehotpepper.com/topic/51883-another-clustercut-bunch-variety-under-development/?hl=%2Banother+%2Bcluster. Trying to stabilize both types plus adding a...

The parentage is Aribibi Gusano x Pimenta Morango.  

It's an F3 selection. They are quite sweet with chinense-like flavours and a heat level at around 9 on the 10-scale.

Trying to create new, more ornamental varieties using the Italian Mazzetti cluster/cut bunch-type as the model...

This is possible, for instance there is a popular variety called Aribibi Gusano which is quite probably a frutescens-chinense cross. Also, see here for crossability within the most grown capsicum species http://www.malusrustica.dk/capsicum/X/Xing_projects.ht Here's the original document if...

There are nematodes for other weevils, for instance wine weevil nematodes, but do not know if these would work on pepper weevils too... Also I found this document http://www.ent.uga.edu/veg/solanaceous/pepperweevil.htm

This is an update to the thread, today I compared the Nagaquin F4 Selection to another F4-plant and an Orange Blob. They all had a good amount of fruity chinense-typical aromas, the Nagaquin seems to be hotter than the Orange Blob. First photo is of the selected F4... This is the selection (to...
