Bom dia, @Alex_K ! I'm guessing the purple starts in the first
pot, second row in the first pic are PdN x Bonda?

Very interested to learn more about your pepper growing in
Brazil, Alex.

Hi Paul nice to meet you!

You right! the purple starts are PdN x Bonda.
So... You speak portuguese right? It's all I need!!! Just kidding! 😄

I hope I can contribute to the community...

Hi Alex, what type of climate do you have? Tropical, subtropical, ...

Hi Dieter nice to meet you!

I think here were I live is located between Aw and Cwa in Köppen classification is like tropical with less rain than traditional tropical climate with (89.6 °F avg.) hot summers and (55.4 °F avg.) mild winters.
You are from Mexico right?

Yes, from the tropical lowlands. Half year dry and half year thunderstorms. Warm winter (28-30ºC), hottest period in early May (35-38ºC).

Wow, the climate where you live is tropical, I never imagined it was so hot there in Mexico...
Have you managed to successfully grow C. pubescens there?
I ask, because here in Brazil I've never been able to... I believe it's too hot for the species!

They grow a lot of manzano (local name for rocoto) locally, but only in the highlands. The relative humidity is lower than in the lowlands, as are the temperatures at night. I haven't tried rocoto yet, but it's on my list. I'll tell you next year :)
 
I don't know if counts, these are varieties that I sowed early in the fall, nothing very interesting...
They are producing the first pods.

Trinidad Scorpion Olive

Plants and pods look nice and healthy, good work!
Nothing to apologize for there, @Alex_K, I'd say those
definitely count!
