  Well I use that list to select 'which way' based on what two peppers I'm crossing.. However some people choose the mother plant based on the plant they want as dominant .... does this make a difference ?? it shouldn't but some people swear it does.   eg.. I have a  Tic Tac sized pod that makes...

  No no no.. not which breeds to cross... I just like to be able to identify that the cross has been sucsessful as soon as possible, as peppers can self pollinate I don't want to grow 3 plants thinking there all F1 plants just to find out there all just normal non cross plants.   Coloured...

I have to say IMO, I doubt this pepper was designed for cancer treatment research. did it have something in it that maximised its cancer fighting potential (Capsaicin ??)  that made him donate its genetics to its purpose 'sure'!!,  was the original design to be the hottest pepper after the...

WOW.. Jobitos would have to be the slowest ripening pods I have ever grown..

It shouldnt matter as there will be green and dark folliage genes in the offsrping.. However.. If you where to use the green parent as the mother and the black folliage as the donar pollen... Once you grow out those seeds if the seedlings are black or dark out of he seed atleast you will know...

I personally like choose my mother plant based on the following rules..   1)  What parent pod holds the most seed ( More F1's to grow out )   2)  What parent plant has the best germination rate ( Although the seeds will be a mix the actual seed will have the hardware of the parent for...

Wow.. The Jobito would have to be one of he longest ripeing time sof any pods I have.. The season is about to wind up here in the next 2 months and I have had one ripe pod so far, most of my other plants have started ripening across the whole plant.

It's a gamble... He could find himself throwing up his new pepper against an even hotter one.. Better to claim a new record now (if its ready) make some money off it. then find out his new Death Strain isnt hot enough to take the top spot from what replaces the reaper.    I'm sure it would still...

  I'm not sure what you read about reverting to parents.. It's actually about stability of the resulting pod as a % of chance to be different in the next offspring rather than a chance at being like one of the parents..   There is a chance to fully stabilise a pepper in only a few generations...

+1 to a few inches.. I had my seedlings grrow up into the reflector around the bulbs for a while there ..  I uses 4x 6500k T8's per row and had a 16 / 8 light/dark rotation

Not to dampen your hopes.. But that 'Seller' you purchased from I have bought approximately 20 varieties from.. Out of those about 5 grew true.. 5 grew somewhat true but looked nothing like the quality in his pics.. the other 10 were completely false, this includes red Primos that grew out to be...

Heres a  Topic reference I started in relation to one of crosses having Sterile Pollen.. incase anyone was interested that may not have seen it.. Saves me adding the info to this Glog..   http://thehotpepper.com/topic/59270-infertile-cross-f1-baccatum-x-chinense/#entry1281313 think I have it...

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner..... The cross pollen onto the flowers worked, I can definetly see 3 little pods starting to form..   Tomorrow I will cross them back to the parents and make some other mixes while I'm there.. Try and get as many flowers to set as I can... =D   Now the question of...

  Bah Half a kilo a week... for the last FEW weeks... I'm just starting to get my first ripe pods here in Vic

UPDATE :  It's looking promising.. I have had 3 out of the 4 crosses onto the plant start showing some little bumps of pods, this is a great sign that I might be able to capatalise on the cross and the plants... Will need atleast another week to confirm but it's looking very promising at the...

  My over wintered Reaper x Mystery Cross has just started putting on some pods of size.. It has some truly twisted creatures on it.. There a much smaller pod than your regular reaper but so far their looking gnarly.

So far this season has been dissapointing, the HOT HOT HOT days that killed off flowers and buds and the heavy sporadic rains have made setting pods hard, I had to start moving around all the plants to a covered area just to try and set pods then rotate them through..   FInnaly starting to get...

Saying all these things about shape is all well and good.. But I believe the second most dominating force to the shape of a pod (after gentics) is of course enviroment. It may not change things like colour and general shape, but beyond that it effects nearly everythng else.   The biggest...

Looks like similar info regarding my infertile cross =(

  I did and the idiot has them marked as Bishops Crowns and they look exactly the same as mine.. Not bishops crowns..    What was annoying about his seeds are that half of them where exactly what their supposed to be he other half where either the wrong type or even a mix of wrong types in the...
