Hi Vladan. I will not forget you - but season here is just coming to an end with first night frosts setting in. Since I live in a very short season area, some seeds are still lying around everywhere to dry properly. Would you still just like me to pick out some varieties - or do you have...

Great choice! I would go for a chinense, too. To be more precise, I would choose Pimenta Morango, seems to be closely related to Pimenta da Neyde but Morango is a smaller plant and has upright strawberry-shaped fruits which set in clusters. Flavour is great, very aromatic and very hot.:cool:

Here in Denmark (which is quite cold) I sometimes experience no seeds at all in fully developed pods when growing outside, when growing inside there are lots of seeds. My own theory is that poor pollination occurs when night temps are very low and this could lead to very few seeds or none at...

NuMex Suave Orange is the best heatless chinense I have grown so far... Pasilla Bajio is great but I prefer ordinary Pasilla due to its slightly higher heat level - one of the very best for drying and powdering. Czechoslovakian Black is one of the most productive peppers I know of - very early...

I have no idea - but if the original Goat's Weed is, I would say chances are good that it is...;) Send me a PM if you want to put on the list for seeds...

I have no F1-seeds left, but a few F2-seeds from isolated pods + a lot of seeds from non-isolated pods. I any of you want selfed F2-seeds send me a PM and I will put you on the list...

This is one of my crosses I am growing this year which I think is very promising.:) Hoping to inspire more people to develop new interesting varieties... I can say that you are in for a real treat when it comes to the "Orange Thai x Goat's Weed" - at least that's what I think... Fruits started...

:lol: Not trying to make a joke on your Nagalemon - just wanted to let you know that multiple flowers per node is not a definite sign of a baccatum crossed with another species (chinense). Will be interesting to see your photos and hear about heat/taste, let us know soon...;)

Multiple flowers per node is not restricted chinenses - I have seen this with some baccatums, too... For instance this one, "Francos Aji"...

Here's a thread about crosses from Chillis Galore (UK) amongst them, some of mine...;) http://www.chillisgalore.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5513&p=53093#p53093

It sure will be interesting to follow your plant, Mammoccio...;) In the meantime, here's some more reading stuff about the sterility barriers between the cultivated pepper species for those interested...

Well, I wouldn't say that I know a lot about it, but I have gathered some information on this... I don't want to disencourage anybody but it is my understanding that crossing baccatum with chinense or annuum would only lead to sterility... A. "Baccatum: Crosses sporadically with annuum...

You are absolutely right, why not rescue it? I would simply cut it back and dig it up trying to get as much with of the roots as possible. Remember that the roots must be able to supply the leaves, so if you think you did not get very much of the roots I would cut it back hardly... This is how...

So, Guitar God - how is your hybrid, the Piqano doing? Are you growing out F2-seeds this year?

JohnT, you are right - obviously this is not PI 387838, but seeds were taken from this variety, which had indeed small, yellow pods, so it must be a cross as suggested above... This year I am growing 4 plants from this cross plus 2 plants raised from seeds from my original seed source going by...

I am not sure that Piquin de Ischia is typical for Chiltepin/Pequin varieties, to my knowledge they are normally very late season and quite tall growing as opposed to this one. When talking about growth under low ligth conditons it is relatively meant - it will grow much better than any I have...

Just added some photos of the mentioned varieties... http://s210.photobucket.com/albums/bb157/donnie_1978/capsicum_2007/

Butch, are you talking about "Siberian House Pepper"? I have grown this one and it tolerates low light conditions quite good as well as low temperatures... http://www.chili-balkon.de/sorten/sibirischer.htm For all year indoor growing and crossing experiments I can recommend "Small Wild from...

AlabamaJack, there should be no need to pollinate both ways - according to this Mendel Museum it should not matter which variety is used for mother and which is used for father. Result will be exactly the same... (Source: Mendel Museum - http://www.mendel-museum.org/ger/1online/experiment.htm)

This ugly guy likes chili, too... :lol: 51 chilis in one minute, 500 chilis in 4 hours, they look like Habaneros... he also rubs it in his eyes... Maybe he could challenge the Mexican, as he seems to lack capsaicin receptors, too... http://www1.nu.tv/video/show/7820 (from the Netherlands)
