Glad you liked the pods. I also noticed that the burn seemed to last longer than most peppers I've eaten but I am far from an expert on this. Yes, interesting addiction to pain that we have. And I had to pack the box full to reciprocate for the box of peppers you sent me. Thanks Chewi, glad that...

  The 17 plants came from two pods, and no I don't see any variation between any of the plants, all seem to be growing very similar. I have 14 of the 17 left, 7 garden growing and 7 in pots. I gave 2 away and one didn't make it. Unfortunately I did not mark the seeds to know which pod which...

I have lots of Galapagos Red Habanero x CGN 21500 pods and can put together 3 or 4 boxes to be shipped ASAP. Reply here or PM me if you are interested. US and PayPal only.   More about this cross can be found here...   http://thehotpepper.com/topic/52843-galapagos-red-habanero-x-cgn-21500-cross/...

This year's first large harvest of the Galapagod Red x CGN 21500 cross, guessing about 25% of the pod total.  

Newest update - I sacrificed some of the leaves and pods and took pictures of all three types of plants from this year, the Galapagos Red Habanero, the Galapagos Red Habanero x CGN 21500 cross, and the CGN 21500 to compare them to each other.   Leaves - L to R (Galapagos red habanero, Galapagos...

  Yes but they are all still green so far. I do plan on doing the comparison once ripe. From what I remember from my Galapagos red from last year though is that these are much hotter and have thicker walls. I do notice from this year too that the cross shows a lot of the purple coloration on the...

Full sized pods are now starting to ripen...        

I have a quick, perhaps stupid question. I isolated pods from a cross I made last year and I have about 10 isolated pods. I understand the dominant / recessive aspects of this but I am not sure of how the genetics will play out with the seeds from these pods. The question I have is, where should...

  Sounds like a plan, I should have more ready pretty soon.   Sure. I will have tons of seeds, but maybe not a lot of isolated seeds.

Great to hear, my bubblegum didn't do so well this year.

I plan on cooking with them and making powder. I will also be freezing some as well. After that 10% is used up I have no idea. I for sure will be giving a lot away, including some here on the site so that I can get other's opinion on the taste and heat.   Oh yeah, going to make some sauce too.

For those following my glog for the progress on the Galapagos Red x CGN 21500 cross, I have updated that here:   http://thehotpepper.com/topic/52843-galapagos-red-habanero-x-cgn-21500-cross/page-2

It's been a while since I've updated the progress on this grow but here we go. The plants are doing great, I have 7 growing in pots and 6 in the garden. All have many, many pods. As seen in the pictures the pods are green with purple where the sun hits them. This is characteristic of the CGN...

NE Michigan.

Welcome also from Michigan. What part of Michigan are you from?

Thanks for the info guys. I've been careful on the watering but did just pot these up so they must have gotten a bit too much water in the process. Letting them dry out now.

So, in checking my peppers today I came across a problem. There appears to be some sort of eggs on many of the newer leaves. I have included 3 pics, 1 from a standard camera and two through a scope. I apologize for the scope pictures but they are the best I could get from many attempts. When I...

  Thanks for the link, somehow I missed this posting. Very interesting, I see that you noted that the CGN 21500 x 7PB was a fast grower too. Seems to be similar to what I'm seeing. I haven't seen a chinense grow this fast before.

Weekly update. All plants growing well except maybe my fatalii. I repotted it last week and it shows some yellowing.   All Chinense Peppers     All 17 Galapagos Red habanero x CGN 21500 cross plants repotted.       Close up of buds on Galapagos Red Habanero x CGN 21500 Cross. I will be...
