I like you selection of Capsicum pubescens varieties.
I am also trying the varieties from bhutjolokia.eu this year for the first time .
Mini Rocoto ( PI387838) is a really original pubescens Varietie with real old genetics for that it tends to mutate and cross really easy. Have over 50 difftent...
No not this Batch the Testbatch was leggy .
Here you can see that the outer ones are really leggy
There I was trying some cheap LED Panels and they just did not have enough power.
Now I hope that the new panels have enough power. I turned the light one this time before they sproutet too have...

I enjoy the tast it is in my opinion not as fruity as many orange pubescens varieties and also not does not have that typical sweet peppers (paprika)taste like some red ones. I always have a hard time describe the taste of peppers.Some people would say smokey maybe a little bit like peat.
I...
I have found that there are at least 2-3 diffrent Brown Strain
The Original one that I bought in 2007 had rounder smaller Pods
In 2011 I got a secound one with bigger pods that are pointy
The Rocoto NOT Brown Original from John Fiedler where a much darker red then on the pic on semillas.de...
Thanks to all
I normally plant in the first week of May. The last 2 Years it did not work out so well and we got some low temps right after that. This year I will wait and plant them out on the 20th of May
here is the Pods that grew out of the Arequipa Rocoto Red small labeld Seeds
And here...
Started a Testbatch of 84 in december because I changed a lot of parameters of my grow setup.
Tried using some cheap LED panels but they did not fit for me
So almost all of the things worked out and now I have allready 79 pubescens Plants that I will keep.
Yesterday I started the regular...
I use to have a average germating time of 12 days by Capsicum pubescens
Now I lowered that this year the first sprouts came 6 days after sowing
Really important ist a high constant temperature
I set my temperatur to ~80°F ( ~27°C)

Great Thread !
I grow Capsicum pubescens now scince 2005 and tried many Varieties/Hybrids and Variations.
Since 2006 I am reducing the number of plants for 2 Reasons.
1. I am getting better yields
2. I am giving the plants more space
- What is your latitude, and northern or southern...
I store allready 4,4 m³ but next weekend I will get 2 more Tanks so I can store up to 6,4 m³ water in the future hopefully that will do the trick in the future
Great weather the problem at the moment is that I am running low on water.
My well only gives me only around 75 Gal. a day but I need much more
