  Sorry, my answer was too short. It is a fairly complex topic, and it needs a more pages to get all the details right. The full potential of the cross is seen in F2, where you can get all (viable) combinations. Once you start selecting (and thereby deselecting), you will narrow down the...

  No. You can only see the stableness of a chili by comparing the offspring of it, if the offspring plants are different (e.g. different looking chilies), then the parent is not stable. All chilies on a single plant will be from the same DNA, wherefore differences will be due to other reasons...

  Agree to this approach. A DNA test of the pod tissue would be the final proof. Testing is so much better than speculation.   Have done lots of intentional crosses, and none of the crossed pods have turned any different than the normal range of the mother plant. A chili plant can have quite a...

Congrats. Looks good.   Hope you have more success with F2 than I had with Aji Lemon Drop X Choclate Habanero. I also had very few seeds per pod in F1, and most of those did not sprout. Further most of the seeds that did sprout, did either not set flowers, or if they did flower then there would...

A few updates.   The first Aji Omnicolor X Aji Angelo F1, HAJ15H harvested. Picture shows HAJ15H (the big chili) and 2 omnicolor.   Another Aji Lemon Drop X (Aji Lemon Drop X Choc. Hab), F1.5, HAJ13A XB harvested. This one red, and lemon drop heat.   This picture features from the left, HAJ13B...

Hmm, that was a good nap  :)   Well, the end of last year was pretty boring. But here is the update on crosses:   Aji Lemon Drop X HAJ13B long white variety. Cross named HAJ16i. Have just harvested and sown F1 seeds. Aim is to see if I can get a chili that ripens from dark green to white/pale...

A few new pictures   HAJ13B F3 Aji Benito X Blondie, Long white strain, from selected plant   HAJ13D F3, PdN cross. From selected plant   Harvested Bishops Crown X Lemon Drop. Waiting for them to show up.   No luck with CGN21500 X Black Naga yet. Nor any other of the attempted crosses done...

Nice plants ! They are both from the same cross, right ?    Looking forward to many more pictures  ;)

  Thanx Trident. So far my PdN cross, HAJ13D is the best: purple and orange chilies, with hab. heat and good taste. Plant looks beautiful too. The selected F3 plant is (currently) aphid free. More pictures soon.        Thank you. Good luck in you new (old) location !

  Thanx az1000. I find it very interesting to see what happens when 2 varieties are crossed, and to see the amount variety the cross has.

Just a few new pictures   My first ever sprout with 4 cotyledons. This is one of my Pinocchio's Nose X Jalapeño Mucho Nacho F1, HAJ15F   One more of Semillas HotMix plants ready to harvest. Think it could be Devil's Tongue Yellow, or something ...   Soon to come: - Harvest of the new cross...

Lots of interesting crosses. Keep the pictures coming  :D

Summer is here ... wait ... ok, now it's gone again. Back to 15 C, 15 m/s and rain  :tear:   Well, luckily most of the chilies are indoors.   As promised, some pod-porn on the Aji Benito X Blondie, a.k.a. HAJ13B cross. These are all F3s.   First, the long white phenotype. Selected for next...

  It is possible to cross baccatum with chinense. Problem starts when you get to F2. The seed count is very low, and not many of these seeds will sprout, and of those that sprout, not many will produce fruit  :tear:   I've crossed Lemon Drop with Chocolate Hab., and have an excellent F1 that is...

  Somebody posted a really good, detailed description/link a few years back. I'll see if I can locate it.   Edit: Ok here we go: http://thehotpepper.com/topic/40168-color-geneticsbreeding-colors/?hl=genes#entry846134

  Getting complicated here  :think:   First, since brown is recessive, it should not be possible to revert to red, unless crossed.   Second, the only candidate should be the Red Caribbean, since both Mustard and Chocolate hab. has the brown trait.    This is my guess. But who knows what the...

  Yes red, provided that both are stable varieties.   The 2 traits in play: Brown is recessive to not-brown (from yellow parent). Yellow is recessive to red (from brown parent).   Have tried it with a cross of Chocolate Hab. and Lemon Drop.

  Traits of the F1 will be the dominant traits of the parents. Hypothetically it is possible that all traits come from one parent. It is not random. Only traits of F2+ are random.   Choosing the best pod makes no difference, except for seed count. The genetics will be the same. Choosing the...

Podding up. My first 7 pot Bubblegum   I was hoping that backcrossing the Aji Lemondrop X Chocolate Habanero F1 aka HAJ13A with Aji Lemondrop would produce some more seeds. Alas, that was not to be. 2 flowers backcrossed, for a total of 6 seeds looking viable. This far 2 surfaced ...   There...

  Impressive list. Are the Pepperdew 'Chocolate' growing like a baccatum this far ?
