Composing and making crosses is very interesting. I am looking forward to seeing the pods on the "Aji Lemon Drop X Chocolate Habanero" cross and the "Aji Benito X Blondie" cross.
Hi I have been looking for some C. flexuosum seeds for quite a while now. It seems that seeds available for trade are nowhere to be found.

What about colchichine? It isn't considered GMO and would propably give some massive pods/plants maybe with...
Will try the chili beer :)
Last year i put one big choco bhut pod in a 1/4 filled whiskey bottle. I added a bit of the bhut whiskey to my whiskey and cola. Very nice, but the combination of carbonation and chili gave me a serioius couphing sometimes XD
nice post
Am I the only one having trouble accessing pepperlover.com?
My antivirus (avast!) catches a trojan horse and cut off the connection to the page when i try to enter pepperlover.com

I'm not shure how easy the fruit will mature off the plant. It depends on how far it is in the ripening process. Eat it as it is or put it in a bag with some ripe apples or bananas. Ripe fruit produces ethylene gas which ripen immature fruit. It...
Mighty fine!
Beautiful gala. Branching like crazy already.
I have 1 wild every year. flexuosum is next years project. I have heard they are pretty hardy? I just love their shiny leaves.
Very healthy looking plants. Low fat chinenses ready to take off.
Thank you!
I bought the seeds as "mini rocoto" also known as "PI 387838".
The pods on my plants are bigger than they should be and they are red instead of yellow/orange. That's why I think it has been crossed with another kind of pube with bigger pods.
How they should look...
Thanks @ Sanarda
!"#¤%& I just read in the newspaper that this is the coldest april in DK for 25 years. ¤!"#@$ I want to get the C. pubescens out so i can them and the chinenses in bigger pots. But the next two nights are going to be with frost! I think i will take the 6 pubescens...

This is 2 of my C. pubescens i posted earlier. Mini Rocoto (Own F2 seeds) on the left and Peru Cusco on the right. I am really diggin' that Peru Cusco :)
This is a OW. C. bacattum "Aji Benito". Started flowering ind december without any artificial light.
Great! That should be around 13 or 14 cm in DK. Mine are in 9 cm (3 ½'') ATM. I better go easy on some of my small plants with the fertilizer. The new leaves are darker than on the bigger plants. Thanks for the tips :)
And awesome photos by the way
