Absolutely! I have a few F4 jalapeño seedlings showing their first true variegated leaves Bellapeno? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My overwintered bell pepper seems to be showing a mix of nutrient deficiency and variegation. It’s now in the ground in good compost so I’ll be watching what kind of new growth it puts out. Was pure green last year.

The 12 seeds I planted from the all green plant have all sprouted and are all green - confirms that the variegation is recessive, I think. I have a number of seeds now from the light/dark green plants that I just planted, so fingers crossed! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First pepper on a light/dark green ripened - also the smallest jalapeño I’ve grown (or seen!) Harvested six seeds from it (the pepper definitely made up for its size with heat) and will be planting in a few days. Seeds from the all green plant have now sprouted and are just starting to...

The first F4! Planted seeds from the all green F3 pod last week, and the first one just popped. Plan is to plant out as many seeds as possible and see what comes up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First pepper harvested today from a non-variegated jalapeño. Seeds are saved to grow out to see if there’s any variegation in the offspring. As a bonus, it’s a tasty jalapeño! Sweet and milder heat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

PaulG I’ve moved the plants from the grow tent to a sunny window sill. More variegated leaves are now growing, so I’m thinking I’ll see more as the days get brighter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Most of my 8 plants are now producing pods, so will hopefully have a number of seeds by May to plant out. 6/8 show some variegation, but only on a few leaves. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Your peppers are rocketing up! Once the weather gets warm, I’m going to plant out a number of seeds from my all green variegated plant (and hopefully a couple others) to see if the white appears in a larger set. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One of the dark/light green continues to pull ahead of the pack with a few peppers growing well. It has small white notes which I’ve slowly been knocking back by spraying with mild soap. Other peppers have been moved out of the grow tent to a windowsill which will slow down their growth (it’s...

Great colour in those seedlings! Think one of mine is growing a pepper. Should have F4 seeds once last frost has passed...in three months! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First jalapeño has flowered (a bouquet!). 53 days since seed was planted. No variegation on this one, but going to grow it out given how quickly it’s grown.

All of my 8 seedlings are doing well - quite a notice me difference now in growth rate (same amount of lights and nutes) with the one on the left about to flower! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First signs of variegation! Spotted on 2/8 so far. Also interesting to note the size difference that’s emerging. The variegated peppers are half the size of the ones not showing any variegation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

About three weeks since seeds were planted. 5/8 have disfigured leaves. It looks like a calcium deficiency but I doubt it is since the soil is good and the other three look normal. Will be giving the first feeding of some weak fert then double cupping this weekend. Sent from my iPhone...

At a week after seeds sprouted - starting to grow true leaves. All seedlings look to have the same amount of green with no visible variegation yet. If all grow green I still have 8 more seeds to sprout (and can always use extra jalapeños) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The paper noted that the variegation and dwarf genes were closely related - I wonder if the plants could be dwarfs rather than just slower growing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Found a circa 1964 article describing what we’re seeing with these peppers - white/green variegation at different levels across different plants. https://academic.oup.com/jhered/article-abstract/55/2/79/862613?redirectedFrom=fulltext Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

8/8 of my seeds have now germinated. Now the wait begins to see what the true leaves look like! All cotyledons are green. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
