    issue Black patches on peppers

    Looks like just a sun tan. Sun scalding, which happened to me this year, physically damages the pepper. The plants need more water though.

    Purple genetics in peppers

    I'm guessing the really dark purple we see in capsicum annuum and hybrids is from intentional breeding for aesthetics. You can see mild purpling in wild species such as tepins. I've also seen it in other wild species such as capsicum praetermissum and maybe a few others I don't recall. I use the...

    chinense Chinense x Annuum crosses

    I like White Hot Peppers and Midwest Chile Heads for a vendors. My seed stock was too old, so I picked up stuff from them this year. Everything was good from both. I haven't tried Atlantic Pepper Seeds, but they seem like they're worth a shot.

    Dark purple pepper

      That one has very poor lighting or has been crossed. Also, the shape of the fruit from the OP is pointed whereas a pimenta de Neyde fruit is more blunt.

    Dark purple pepper

    Definitely not a pimenta de Neyde. The entire plant is dark purple. I have no idea what this is, but it has a cool flower.

    chinense Chinense x Annuum crosses

    Tepin x my (Trinidad Moruga Scorpion x 7JPN). I'd do it for wild genes and smaller fruit (nice hot snacking pepper). Technically they already have capscum anuum from the pimenta de Neyde. I'd also would cross any purple c. annuum with any Trinidadian c. chinese for fruity flavor sans Trinidad...

    misc Earliest hot peppers?

    This year it has been a 7JPN and various Trinidad Scorpion Morugas x 7JPNs that gave fruit first. Hardly scientific though!

    wanted Looking for Capsicum Galapagoense

    Interesting. The information is incorrect on many sources I thought were credible. I didn't think it would get pollinated outside of that complex, but I couldn't explain why I got fruit. The seeds looked viable last year so they probably are. I had no others from that complex in my garden. Thank...

    wanted Looking for Capsicum Galapagoense

      Cool. It's been really humid here! I'll let you know what I have then. My capsicum cardenasii survived the winter in the Southeastern part of VA. It set fruit last year, but I read it's self-incompatible. Its mate died from neglect and didn't flower at the same time. However it set seeds. I'm...

      Thanks. Looks like she's having success with her c. galapagoense.

    wanted Looking for Capsicum Galapagoense

      I grew a plant years ago. Seed stock is no good now. They did fine hydroponically. I read about how they have shallow roots, but they don't seem to care in a hydroponic environment. If I recall correctly, they gave off a sent when touched. I thought it was more of a tomato-like sent.

    What hath I wrought? Soapy Pumpkin Peppers

    Very cool pepper. I'm not sure what it is. Did a bishop's crown get crossed with something?

    When to start growing in Florida?

      Not everyone Glogs, but I guess. I've grown peppers in South FL with my grandmother decades ago.

    Peppers wrinkling and getting soft on plant before ripening

    Mine were yellow, so maybe there is something wrong with our seeds!

    Does pod shape dictate offspring shape?

      I didn't want to get too complicated and go into your 3rd part, but that is true. Of course we don't know anything based on the shape of the fruit, which you also agree with. I want to caution picking the best looking fruit. The best looking fruit could potentially have bad seeds. This true of...

    mystery ailment on my prize superhots

    That's very concerning. I think it's be best to destroy the plants. At least isolate them and see what other symptoms they have. It could be a mosaic virus, which also will live in the soil a long time(get rid of that too). If you isolate, make sure they're far away from your healthy peppers and...

    Does pod shape dictate offspring shape?

    It does nothing at all. Peppers are self-pollinating sans a few living fossils of species we don't typically grow. The seeds from the undesired fruit on the same plant have the same genes as the ones with a desired shape. With that knowledge, you shouldn't worry about which one has the best...
