  Well, I can give a little backstory ... Got the seeds out of this pod I was given to taste, thats what the nibble holes are from. pod was about same size as pic in op. Seed viability was almost 100% and seedlings took off great right from the get go. Started in organic seed starter outside and...

Thanks for the replies.   My biggest pod might be 3". But the plants are smallish about 30" tall, in #4 fabric pots. About 4 months old. Plants seem especially hearty and seem to be more resistant to most of my normal pests.   So its maybe the small Amarillo phenol..?

YA, think so, just looked them up looks identical. Good call.   Thanks UncleE...

Have no clue what these are other than baccatum.   The pods starts out dark green then turns orange suddenly in a couple days, altogether takes about a month/6weeks to get orange after flower goes to pod. Should I leave them on the plant longer, will they turn another color eventually..?   Taste...

Its all in their tone/color...

Nice pic, thanks for sharing. The cluster of a dozen Aphids to the bottom right are all going to be wasps soon, they got hit by wasp...   So, does the spider sit there waiting to 'protect the wasp larvae/aphid, or eat it while it hatches, or both...?   .

Looks like pear shaped green Aphids to me, at least in your first pic for sure.   The other pics probably are aphids in different stages of their life cycle.      Spraying (dawn dish soap)soapy water on non plant surfaces (walls/everywhere..?) should kill them all.    Insecticidal soap on the...

Few from almost the last of the year...

Ahhh,, palomitas, spiked with my avocado Butch T Scorpion oil yum...

  Thanks for explaining.   Very nice..!!! Never added Mycorrhizae, whats the best 1 to get ?, and when is the best time to use it..?

Well all I can say is they were treated exactly like all my very successful 40+ other plants, all their sisters. The little 3 month old plant on the left (in below pic)was its sister from seed from same pod, placed on a rack right next to it till it couldn't even take shaded morning sun. This...

huh..? You think they can still be saved..?

No   Nope, don't even know what a root inoculant is..?  Bottom water and top water were tried for months, neither seemed to change anything...

Tried both ways to water for months on the baccatum, nothing helped. Media did not seem compacted at all. Media hadn't been watered in probably a week before I removed it from container, chalking it up to a total loss. Media was not dry but slightly moist to the touch after no water and in the...

Had 2 plants that all of a sudden just started to do very bad even as young seedlings.   1 was a double that from the very start could never take much sun. Passed that off as it being a baccatum in sFL summer. After an hour or 2 of morning sun it would wilt heavy unlike all its brother baccatums...

  Exactly, it was the first thing I thought of when reading the thread title.   Kind of like, would you rather get shot or knifed.... We need a 3rd option: NEITHER   jmo

  Ya, could be.   Just eat that guy yesterday. Was sweet with a little fruity grape flavor. Was very hot, but not reaper hot imo. The heat lasted for a good half hour though... All in all very good tasting pod imo. It was the first from that plant. It didn't have an abundance of seeds just maybe...

  To be fair its hard to tell from the pics but 99% of the black spots you see on the leafs in my first pic in this thread are dead aphid clusters from my last neem spray. I've looked under the scope at these many times to confirm dead aphids, and they rub right off. Don't want to wash them off...

49 views and No one has ever seen the black stem splotches..?   Not even 1 edumacated guesstimate..?

What are the black splotches on the stems...? They aren't soft or rotted, just black spots.   What type of pepper does this look like..? Was suppose to be a Carolina Reaper. Looks like a lightly pimpled chocolate hab to me..?
