pod Can anyone ID this C. chinense pepper?

[Northwood]

I dug the seeds out of a pepper sold at the store that were obviously mislabelled "carolina reapers" and am growing these inside my grow tent. I've been calling them Habaneros, but I have no idea really. They are very hot though.

Many of them reach a good size. Here's a couple red ones, all from the same plant. They're very variable, and most of them look a bit gnarly.

Some more...

That doesn't look like any habanero I've seen. (Although I certainly haven't seen all varieties). You're 100% sure it's chinense? The shape looks more like a bell pepper.

Store-bought pepper, my bet is some odd cross.

The mother peppers from which I got the seeds looked like these also. I tried a tiny sliver of the mother when I bought them and they are in a whole different world of hotness compared to any annum or fruitesan I've tried like siling labuyo or thai birdseye.

JA Red Habanero pods can get quite large...


This plant had lots around this size. Lots more
pics in my 2015 grow log. Actually in all my
grow logs

Thanks! That definitely looks like them. A friend of mine said they were Caribbean Reds so I've been calling them that, but I kinda wondered if he knew what he was talking about. Lol

Caribbean Red Habaneros are quite a bit smaller
and more typical habanero shape. This strain came
from @Devv and @WalkGood, who brought the seeds
back from JA, as I understand. Maybe @Devv can chime
in on that.

That would be one I haven't seen before!

Yeah, looks a lot like that, I agree.

Habanero Gambia Red can have this pod type as well. Not vouching for this seed seller, but their photos are illustrative.
