Yep, it's 3 flowers. I did get one double-pot last year. It was strange looking and a bit bigger, but nothing special in the end.

I will dig out one hybrid of unknown ancesters that is painfully hot and has more and bigger pods than other plants. I only managed to pick one half-ripe pod with quite bitter aftertaste. I plan to get at least one fully ripe pod before I dig it out and take it inside for the winter. If it's...

We've had hot and dry summer and chillies finally started growing in late July. As they are about one month later than usually, most of the pods are still green and will have hard time ripening. How do you protect the peppers in early fall, when low temperatures kick in. We have lows around 8C...

You ain't gonna die even if you try.   If I have no idea about how strong the pepper is, I just take a small slice of the pod and try it. That way, you can make sure about the flavour, aroma and heat. 

How about orange color in F2? Got a cross in (I assume) F1 generation that appeared red. Not even one of it's seedlings is red, most are orange and one will most likely become yellow when ripe. How can dominant gene perish that way? I can only think about sterility of seedlings with that 'Red...

This is bird guano. They might not be responsible for the damage and were feeding on the insect that  have done the damage. I've had similar damage due to red slugs that came from spain and are now nibbling everything around in large numbers. If birds did it, take the plants somewhere safe or...

I have a rainbow of seedlings from red habanero or 7pot like chilli that was supposed to be trinidad scorpion. Long story short.. This year all the pods are orange and most of the pods until now were not as hot as last year.   But, there's another one with large pods. They were turning colour...

These look like orange habanero. They have fruity flavour and are quite hot. There are not many developed seeds inside.

The plants were around 50m or more away from other peppers. I'm 100% certain they were self pollinated, especially because there was rain practically whole summer and all flying pollinators had really rough season. The seeds are from different pods, some of the seedlings would certainly be self...

I have a question about dominant and recessive genes and I hope some of you more experienced chilli growers will be able to help. Last year, all pods were red and red is the dominant gene for color of the fruit, right? Now in the second generation, all the pods are appearing orange and one most...

I've updated with some more photos. In a week, it should be clear what the final colours the pods will be when ripe. Now it looks like they will be mostly orange. 4 out of 7 started changing from green to orange. I'll let them grow until they either further change to red or get fully ripe.

The capsaicin production gets lower, but it's still building and piling up in ripe pod. They also get their specific taste when they get fully ripe. Keep them attached for a week or so more, shouldn't hurt. Well, depends on what you plan to do with the peppers.  :onfire:

I'm trying to decode what kind of hybrid I received instead of Trinidad Moruga Scorpion seeds on eBay last year. I've ended up with a bunch of completely unique seedlings this year, and I would love to know their ancestors. I'm adding pictures of my seven plants as they grow. I'm trying to...

first one finally ripe. It's not red, it ended up orange. Next in line for ripening are the large ones that might be bhut jolokia cross regression, because of it's pod size.   

So you are saying pods visual appearance provides different DNA material with different (not random) characteristics and the seeds from the pod will inherit the pod characteristics. Completely wrong if someone asks me.   I usually get those larger pods first, then when weather cools off, I get...

Toxic  :party:

Well, Here are some photos I took today. The large ones seem to  be getting their red color finally.   Plant 1     Plant 2     Plant 3 - You've seen it before already :)       Other plants look almost like the mother plant or haven't set pods yet, because of slugs that finished them off in...

I figured out they were different, but I was not sure, because we've had very wet year with almost no sun and with relatively cold weather. I was thinking they just couldn't grow well enough to have all the characteristics. I know now how silly that was, but they did seem close enough. Well I'm...

I'll wait till they are ripe. Like I said, none of the peppers is identical, heck, they are not even similar to each other. Just for comparison, this is their mother from last year. I used these pods to get the seeds and received a whole bunch of varieties. The one I'm particularly interested in...

I have bought Trinidad Moruga Scorpion last year - I'm not sure if it was indeed real deal. As far as I know, trinidad scorpions are stable and will give you scorpions if you plant their seeds the next season. Well, not happened to me. Looks like I received F1 version of Moruga (if it even was...
