Hey guys I have a few questions about crossing peppers..I hope I can somehow ask this so it makes sense..
I have just attempted to cross a hot cayenne (mother) with a 7pot jonah (father) using the guide on the fatalii website. I removed the petals, and the stamens from a couple of flowers that were set to open soon and pollinated with pollen from the Jonah
I had been looking at the crossing compatibility chart of annum x chinense and I see that its listed as “F1 hybrids partially fertile”. What does this really mean?
-Does this mean that the seeds produced by the pods would be “partially fertile” as in only some of the seeds will be viable?
-Or does this mean the crossed pod may not even produce seeds?
-OR does it mean that once the cross is grown - the pods produced may not produce viable seed? If this is the case would all pods on the plant be infertile? Or would some pods potentially produce seed while others won’t?
Second main question is, if the cross does take and the pod makes seeds – will each seed within the pod potentially be different? Or are all seeds within the crossed pods in theory the same?
Im pretty much wondering what I can expect?
Cheers
