One variety that really impressed me with its hardiness was Basket of Fire. I grew 2 plants under 50% shadecloth in 2021. I came home one day in July to find them both flowering. We hit 117 F that day, and they were both covered in flowers. :shocked: Really surprised me. Most of my other plants...

Yes, it is possible provided that the parents are from genetically compatible species. So the pubescens species won't cross with annuums and chinenses, but annuums and chinenses can cross with each other, for example. Bell peppers and Scotch Bonnets have been crossed. And the NuMex Spice...

Yes, essentially. These are plant pigments called anthocyanins. Some plants naturally have a lot more of these pigments than others (Pimenta de Neyde, for example) but in your case I would guess its a response to plenty of light exposure. Like a suntan. The markings will likely fade out as the...

My approach is to take nail clippers and *very carefully* clip just the seam around the edge of the seed to free it. Make sure you have good lighting so you can see what you are doing. Also, using a jeweler's loupe or some other means of magnification helps a lot. I also put a drop of water on...

Bishop's Crown was just one possibility that came immediately to mind based on the general shape of the pods. I'm not at all saying that is what it must be. Those bell-shaped phenos are actually pretty common among baccatum types. Unfortunately, you may never know for certain exactly which...

Those pods look more like a baccatum than a chinense to me. Perhaps a Bishop's Crown or Aji Fantasy. The presence of green or gold markings inside the flowers would confirm it as capsicum baccatum species. Whatever it is, I don't think it is a Carribean Red Habanero.

It's not a different color, but apparently there is a gnarlier pheno of the Big Yellow Mama out there now: BYM Gnarly

Yes, it might be an unintentional cross, or there may have been a mix-up with the seeds and it could be another variety entirely from what you expected. I have had yellow Bonnet plants that put out inconsistent phenos like that before. So the inconsistency doesn't necessarily mean that it is a...

They look like some kind of annuum to me. To me, the shape resembles an Aleppo, but those typically ripen to red not orange. You might never know for certain what specific variety those are, but if they are around Jalapeno heat level then you could use them as Jalapeno substitutes in various...

You can tell the pods are ripe when the green goes away and they blush peach. Some of the purple may fade out a bit at the same time. If you really want to be sure, you can wait until they go a little soft (overripe). But you should be able to see the color change. I have also seen this variety...

Orange Blob Habanero might be a good candidate to consider. This one is only 7.5" tall by 12" wide, and forks just 3 inches above the soil. I did not top or prune this plant at all; that is just how it naturally grew in this small container. And the pods taste pretty nice too, like a milder and...

I don't know if their seeds are organic or not, but three vendors that I have had success with are: Hippy Seed Company White Hot Peppers Texas Hot Peppers Another vendor with a very good reputation is Semillas, although I haven't ordered from them myself. I believe all of these vendors ship...

:welcome: Your pods from this year look like some kind of red Habanero, while the ones from last year have more of a Moruga or other Scorpion shape to my eyes. Very hard to specify a variety though, since those are both fairly common chinense phenotypes. Neither is really what I would expect...

There are 6 colors that I know of: red, black, yellow, mustard, olive and caramel.

My understanding is that the Warthog is actually a 5-way cross. According to the Internet, the Wartryx is a Trinidad Scorpion x 7 Pot Jonah x Ubatuba Cambuci. Now crossed with the 7 Pot Primo (a Trinidad 7 Pot x Naga Morich cross) to create the Warthog. So who can say what the 5-way genetic...

The Goronong is an interesting yellow hab type. I found it to be slightly sweet, slightly tropical fruity taste, and with a fairly toned-down chinense flavor. The flavor reminded me a little of the Grenada Seasoning pepper, except that the Goronong is much hotter. I would say it peaks around...

If you mean the fuzzy part under the leaves, those are just trichomes. They are a part of the plant itself and nothing to worry about. They are the same structures that make pubescens look fuzzy. If you mean the two slightly discolored spots on the leaf in the first picture, well it is pretty...
