breeding Another Hybrid breeding question

I am growing 8, F2 Superchile Hybrids, which are the children of F1 Superchile Hybrids that I grew last year. Six of the plants are exhibiting the exact characteristics of their parents, as the fruit and plants look the same, and the 1 pepper that I ate, tasted the same as the previous generation. One of the plants is also short and bushy, but has different color peppers, they are very pale, whitish with a little yellow. The other plant is very tall, with long Cayenne shaped pods, maturing a deep orange/red. I am saving seeds from all peppers. When I grow them next year, is there more of a chance of the next set of peppers having the same characteristics as the peppers that the seed was collected from, or will the outcomes be completely random and unpredictable?
 
Assuming the plant hasn't crossed with something else, the progeny become more homozygous with each generation.
Becoming genetically 'stable' after, usually, several generations.

http://kdcomm.net/~tomato/gene/genes2.html is a great resource. Assuming that the pepper genes work the same ways at the tomato genes, ( and they don't cross!) I could use this as a reference to stabilize the hybrids.

DiggingDogFarm, excellent link! :dance:

I back-tracked it to the first page of the tutorial, here -

http://kdcomm.net/~tomato/gene/genes.html

and then went through it all - good stuff! :)

Also spotted a link to this VERY interesting page here - :cool:

http://kdcomm.net/~tomato/Tomato/mutant.html

Unfortunately, this chart is for tomatoes, so I started wondering if this site had any similar info about peppers...

But this site doesn't appear to have any home page, kinda looks like someone just copied some web pages into a subdirectory?

A little Google Fu revealed, alas, that this site is just about tomatoes.

So, the $64,000 question is...are you aware of any gene chart like this for PEPPERS??

Ah, OK - thanks! Whoever owns this site needs to fix it then, as when I tried to pull-up their site -

http://www.kdcomm.net

instead of giving me a valid homepage, it forwarded me to this...

Unless they are deliberately trying to hide their content, they need to fix the default homepage on their site to forward to the right place.

Awesome, Thanks!!! :dance:

Bookmarked AND Saved! ;)

Handy info to have for those interested in experimenting with cross-breeding peppers! :cool:
