I thought I'd share one of my own secret projects. I've created a couple of C. galapagoense crosses. I'll post a pic of one of the plants soon. Also, because of my famous lack of growing space, I'll share seed with some other growers for the 2015 season.

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.
hybrid C. galapagoense cross

I'll take you up on some stuff. Going to limit my 2015 to very select stuff!Spicegeist said:
Sounds cool
Ok, here it is:
Compare with a straight C. galapagoense plant about the same age:

Very interesting, should be a neat cross of what ever it might be.
I have 4 very nice galapagoense plants that I will be overwintering they are my first plants out of 4 tries, I'm assuming that it takes really fresh seeds as I not done anything special, where as the other tries I soaked the seeds in a rooting and growth hormone and kept the seed cups and soil temps at 85F. with no results. So that will give you a idea just how hard this species is when it comes to germination.
Hopefully the hybrid will be much easier to germinate, The more I think about this cross the more intrigued I become, I have just about have myself talked into asking for a few seeds to try if any are left if not I will try again another time.
There is a Galapagoense crossed with a Bhut Jolokia not much of an outward change except that the cross is even more bumpy, but its only at F3 I think, there could be even more changes down the road. so it could change the pod even more.
I don't know what the cross is with this one, but I bet that it is a good one.

. One Germinated but died (didn't grow strong roots). Hoping to get em going during the winter after I get more seeds.
Looks good. My C. Galapogoense croaked for no reason a couple weeks ago. It wasn't neglected or anything. Just drooped starting at the top and eventually all leaves dropped and the stem hardened up.
I would love to grow out some more crosses though, if you find this years grow of your crosses to be worthy.

Nice!!! You know me! I love those crosses, add me to the list for this one

It's crossed with another wild C. annuum. I have some seed I'll share now. And then, I'll probably wait until F3 seed to share this particular plant, so seed will probably be ready in mid 2015... probably enough time to get a plant to maturity then...
oooooooo i want seeds!!
Flowers are developing nicely:
Yup look at the teeth on the calyx. It's gonna be cool see what it looks like.

Well, I'll bet the offspring from this will cross easier than a straight galapagoense... I'll share this particular one after F3 methinks. I do have other galapagoense crosses I'll sharing with a few people soon...
