glog Balcony Pockmark Orange (Bhut Jolokia x Pimenta Neyde) and mistery Carolina Reaper (?)

Hey!
Let me share this years balcony grow!

The main one is Pockmark Orange (Bhut Jolokia x Pimenta Neyde). Second parent gives a lot of dark/purple pigment. Plant is very wide itself, fruits definitely look nasty so far. Ghost Pepper influence should give it a good yield of "entry level super hot", I cross my fingers for that!

As I wrote in the welcome topic, I am unsure about the second pepper genetics. We would have to wait for the fruits. I love it for the origin and vigor so far. Its still in vegetative state. Leaves are thick, seems to be happy about the large pot so far.

Let me update you as it goes, I hope to get my first superhots this year! Would be great to collect the seeds as well. Still, there are so many different I would like to try, it will get packed next season : )

Your plants look great! I know Spain has very hot summers (I know a video game developer there), hopefully the heat doesn't get too bad for them, are you going to up-size the one that's in the darker blue pot? Looks like it could do with a bigger pot but I know some people intentionally keep them in smaller ones. Just curious :)

Hoping for my first super hots this year too! 7 Pot Bubblegum was the first to produce pods, one of my Brain Strain Chocolates also has a couple pods now too, I might have ripe ones before frost lol.

Are you going to isolate any flowers or just let them possibly mix and see what you get next season?
 
@Harmonic_Heat Thanks for dropping by!

Main plant lost some flowers in the heat peak, but they enjoy the conditions now.

Yeah, I could get third pot for the second Pockmark but I start to run out of space : ) Hopefully next season I would have more place to arrange. I am also curious the yield from this experimental bonsai-like cultivation. I know that it would prefer larger pot.

I am going to keep and share the seeds for sure, did not plan any pollen projects.

I would plan larger balcony with some sweet peppers as well, but I still feel like I have so much to read. I would ask in time, for sure!

Edit: I misunderstood the last question. Fist peppers gonna be 100% Pockmark since its the only one flowering. When second starts I planned to try some intentional cross pollination and mark the fruits. I would try to get some isolated from Pockarks as well.
