Golden Cayenne are much sweeter than their red siblings so that is probably what it is.

Looks a bit like a Golden Cayenne but I've never seen one with pods that big before.  Also, the flower colour seems different.    What does it taste like?

These are my contributions to this list:   Monterey Mushroom Farm over in Zellwood will sell you an entire, heaping (and steaming) pickup bed full of post-production mushroom compost for $5 (not a typo, FIVE).  They will load it with a front-loader scoop and it will be messy so plan to wash your...

While out watering this morning I found that something had knocked one of the scorpion pods off the plant and had taken a small bite out of it.  I can only hope it was either a squirrel or a raccoon that has learned a valuable lesson.   In any case, I brought the pod inside to split it and...

There is no way I can be 100% sure that it wasn't some kind of cross or a mislabel.  That said, all of my Reaper seeds came from the same send package and I'm extremely diligent with my labeling, sorting and potting-up processes because I hate having mystery pods.  Of the other two Reaper plants...

I would only be worried about cross-pollination if you are planning on conserving seeds and planting/trading them.  Any cross-pollination will not affect this years' fruits; they will grow true.

No amount of rain is going to turn your habaneros into bell peppers.   ;)   What you may find is that your pods will be more full, the walls thicker and perhaps a lot juicer than typical.

So, after 9 days of well-deserved vacation in the Montana wilderness I've returned home to to the Florida sauna to find something rather unique happening on one of my Carolina Reapers...   It has purple pods.       At night:   Now, I don't want to start any trouble, but these pictures haven't...

Based on the advice in my question thread I harvested three of the Douglahs tonight:    

Most of these things are highly variable based on the growing conditions that the plant is subjected to, and also individual variation within a variety.  The best rough guideline to go by would be to use the habits and characteristics inherent to the parent plants of the new strains.

I'm about 5 minutes down the road in Winter Springs.   Welcome to THP!

    No flash.   With flash.   Some pics of the ripening Douglahs.

Here are some pics from earlier this evening:       Second one was taken without a flash.   We have been getting our typical epic afternoon downpours here in Florida.  I am hoping it lets up a bit soon, last year I ended up with a mold/black spot problem that pretty much wrecked the rest of my...

This is my first year growing Douglahs and I've had a fair bit of success.   This morning I went out and found that almost every pod on the two producing plants have shifted over to a light brown/burgundy shade.  The most advanced pod is a deeper brown colour, but still has some hints of...

whereever you go, there you are  

This weekend, I completed the re-potting of all of the 2nd and 3rd round seedlings from germination trays to 4" pots.         Some of the annums in the mix are a tad leggy, but nothing that they won't recover from.   The top-tier of the light table is a quad-fixture T8 (each with two 4'...

  Quite the opposite.   And it will be very memorable.
