  Woo! Welcome to the Netherlands, Paul. Even if it's just for a few hours, lol! Just 100 kilometres away from me even. Hope you had a great holiday.

Thanks, Devv!     I just couldn't resist attempting one more cross, just as a little bonus for next year: Cumari Pollux x Pimenta da Neyde. I didn't really want to make another PdN cross, as there are so many already out there. But I just love the look of both of these peppers so yeah here we...

Looking good man! Love the look of those Cinders. That Peach Clavo x Pink Tiger is pretty cool too. What are the pods like?

  Thanks, karoo!     That's what I'm hoping for! 

Here are some pictures, because what's a glog without pics? The Aji Angelo x Cumari Pollux crossed pod. The first two pods of my Brazilian Starfish x Lemon Drop. Planted some peppers in the ground anyway. Wasn't planning on it, but I thought what the hell. Verstuurd vanaf mijn PRA-LX1...

I attempted to make a Thunder Mountain Longhorn x Aribibi Gusano cross today. Let's hope it takes! The Aji Angelo x Cumari Pollux cross seems to be a success. Verstuurd vanaf mijn PRA-LX1 met Tapatalk

  I thought every single seed is the product of one fertilized ovule? All seeds then should have had a different genetic recombination, which means that every seed in a single F2 pod potentially has different genes. Maybe I'm wrong though. 

Hey people,   I've seen/heard some growers say something along the lines of "I'm going to save seeds from this specific pod because of the way it looks". But from what I understand all pods from the same plant share the same genetics, right? Why do people do this?

If you search on Google images on 'serviceberry unripe' you get loads of pictures that very closely resemble yours.

  Yeah, that's exactly why I'm confused.

I didn't really want to make another topic on this pepper, but I want to put it in the right place in my collection. I wrote it down as a Frutescens, but I see people refer to it as a Chinense too. Which is it?   Ps. I got some serious deja-vu going on asking this question, but I searched the...

Sonka, who put the seeds in the train, confirmed it was probably an accidental cross. I love crosses so for me it's no problem at all, I'll try to grow the true Duke Pequin next season. I wonder what these will be like!

The calyx on the Duke Pequin also doesn't look very Frutescens. Accidental cross maybe? I got it from the seed train.

All the plants are podding up now. There are a few that I'd like to grow a bit bigger before throwing so many flowers, but pinching them isn't really an option anymore. Next year I'm probably going to start my seeds a bit later because of this. I think the plants will ease into the season...

There are more chili experts on this forum than you could wish for! Just look at the several community grows we have going on here. 

  Thank you! So far the weather's been great, so I'm hoping for a nice harvest.   Devv is talking about 'The Intelligent Gardener' by Steve Solomon. Check his and stickman's glogs for more info.

My Brazilian Starfish x Lemon Drop cross started to form its first pod! Verstuurd vanaf mijn PRA-LX1 met Tapatalk

  Thanks, karoo!

  I haven't finished it yet, but so far it's very interesting. I can already see it's going give my gardening knowledge a huge boost. I hope to finish reading it in two weeks or so, I'm cautious about rushing through it because I want to really soak it all up and understand it all.
