In the end of 2010 I grew a Bell Pepper x Bhut Jolokia F3 hybrid plant. Seeds of it I bought from Fatalii who had made this cross.
The flowers of it had quite interesting coloration.
Fruits were quite small
The heat was typical for C.annuum hot varieties (so to say "dry") and its level...
Don't mention it! :)
I think you're right that Chervena Chuska (червена чушка) are Bulgarian words and they mean just a red pepper. :)

Don't mention it, Sawyer!
By the way, last year I used Fatalii with orange-yellow fruits
and Pimenta da Neyde
in my breeding test.
So I got a red fruit at my F1 hybrid plant.
Can anybody explain me why it's red?
Here is a Capsicum genes list (292 items)
The list contains information about genes which influence colour of immature and mature fruits.
Hope it'll be helpful for anybody who has such hobby as a pepper breeding.
Yesterday it was a taste test of the first ripe pod of PI 281429 cultivar.
I cut the fruit in half and took a smell of it. Its aroma was typical for C.chinense varieties and had average intensity. So I bite a little piece of the lower side of the fruit and felt no hotness. At all... Then I...
Dozens of flowers... and only 2 pods. :tear:

I have been growing chili peppers indoors under HPS 250W lamp almost 3 years.
I've got such results:
