Weekly update. Plants continue to grow surprisingly fast. More than half are starting to show buds. I snipped of the buds on all except 1 plant and will continue to do so until planted outside. I repotted all these plants today into 1 gallon nursery pots. Plant #4 is lagging behind the rest.    ...

Weekly update, plants are continuing to grow strong, particularly the Galapagos red habanero x CGN 21500 cross. I will be potting this up tomorrow and this week.     All super-hots, note the size difference between the Galapagos red habanero x CGN 21500 cross (back row left plant) and the rest...

Update for this week. The plants continue their strong growth, I will be potting them up tomorrow and during the week. I've included a close-up picture of the same plant from last week as well as a comparison picture of my CGN 21500 plant that was planted a couple weeks after these. The CGN...

Yes, sometime in the next week or two as space allows.

As long as everything works out and the pods are good tasting I plan on spreading these out to whomever wants them. F2 of course so who knows what will come out.

Plants continue to grow, the Galapagos Red Habanero x CGN 21500 cross still is outpacing the rest of the varieties from this year.   All Chinense Varieties 2/14/15   Galpagos Red Habanero x CGN cross plants

Update this week. These plants continue to outpace the rest of my peppers. Most of the early dark coloration has gone but my thoughts are that once they hit real sunlight it will come back. Also added a close-up pic of one plants from the side.     Galapagos red habanero x CGN 21500 cross...

This may have been exclusive to my single CGN 21500 plant I grew last year but the stems seemed more easily broken from wind and such than my other varieties. Make sure you support them well. Other than that it was one of my favorites from last year. Great looking plant, very productive, great...

Weekly update. All plants are continuing to do well. The Galapagos red habanero x CGN 21500 cross continues to outpace the rest of my peppers.   Galapagos Red habanero x CGN 21500 Cross     All Chinense varieties

This week's update. In my opinion the variety is a very fast grower. I have included pictures of all 17 plants along with the comparison between the same cross and the same Galapagos Red Habanero planted at the same time. One point of interest is that one plant (#4) is much smaller and darker...

I can only hope...

Added my 2015 glog which also will have info on this cross   http://thehotpepper.com/topic/52952-michris-2015-glog/

Decided to become official and put my 2015 grow here. I learned a lot from the people on this site last year and had a decent grow despite having cool summer temperatures.    My plan for peppers this year are:   7 pot primo Chocolate habanero Bubblegum 7 pot Yellow bhut jolokia Caramel bhut...

Thanks. How crazy is it that that gives me a sense of pride? Funny thing this pepper growing.

Update, added two pictures from 2/1/15. First is comparison picture of colors - darkest color and lightest color, the color still isn't showing up in the pictures 100% true and is darker than it shows in the pic. The second is a comparison picture for size and color between a crossed Galapagos...

The only thing I might add is to make sure you don't over water your plants. Also, if you can it helps to put a fan on them. The fan will help them from getting too wet at the surface as well as help strengthen the stem. Maybe the most useful thing I've picked up from Growers at THP is to mostly...

   All the seeds were harvested and dried in the same manner within a week or two of each other. I did think of that as well.   Interesting thoughts on the color and the lights. I grow them under 8 T-8s with 6500K bulbs in a grow tent that stays around 80 deg. F.         Family portrait, all 17...

Thanks Mikeg for your info and interest in this post. I've also read a bit on pepper genetics so I'm not going in blind but I also put great value into you guys who've have more knowledge and experience than me. Yes, all 17 plants have this coloration, one or two seem deeper and one or two...

Will do. As this is my first attempt at a cross I am hopeful for some guidance, particularly once it come time for next stage with seeds.

     Last year I decided I wanted to try to learn to cross two pepper varieties. I chose two of my favorites, the Galapagos Red Habanero and the CGN 21500 pepper. The Galapagos Red was the mother parent and the CGN 21500 the father. I also chose the CGN 21500 because of its purplish color...
