Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.
Can you have too much flower bud in a pepper plant ( white Bhut Jolokia )

Sorry, I don't often correct someones post but I thought it appropriate in this case.....stankar said:this is a perfect plant, I was still looking for thebestmost prolific plants but I never seen anything like this, awesome
if you found the TWINS from my White Bhut One special, here is 2 other ,that i found in the same plant, in flower this time
i took the picture with a cheap microscope for mobile phone from ebay because my phone alone wouldn't focus properly
here is the first one
and the second one
here is a update of the first photo from my first post
a week ago
and now..
and the TWINS
yesterday i have protected a few more unopened flower and will do some more when i have time
IF everything goes well and IF the plant turn out to be true don't worries
I will share seeds as much as i can so prey for me ...

You can't have too much...The plant is smarter than us...it will only flower what it CAN - its our job to feed the soil so well that the plant throws more pods than you can imagine. Grow on!PepperPowerG said:

I've had mine get so nuts at the nodes that flowers have siamese twinned...
cloning could be amazing but cant keep anything inside for this winter 
and everybody was right , he dropped a lot of flower in the last 10 days , it slowed down now
i dont know if its lack of food or just natural regulation becaus i gave a good dose of fertilizer 3 or 4 days ago and i barely fertilized before (realy weak solution of seaweed foliage 2x and watering 2x too (i concentrated on soils mix test for my first year of pepper growing 6 or 7 different soil mix ) )
anyways here a updated photo from my original post
ans the twins ( and he is not alone i got like 5 or 6 in the plant)

I've grown peppers for many years but have never seen anything so prolific.
sorry for late update
most of the node lost 2 or 3 flowers exept for 2 or 3 node that stayed full (9 to 11 flower bud or pod)
3 weeks ago
and
10 days ago
on the last picture you cant count them all but there is 11 pod on that node
the twins is ready
2 or 3 days after
i pick them as soon as they rippen a bit because i have some isolation and a cross upper on the plant
and want them to rippen before the season end
like him....
did another harvest today just to brag a bit (first year i grow hots and im really proud)
drying:
smoking:
plus a few aji's
wiiling to give away or trade seeds if anybody wants somme
will post later with avaliability (i have a few isolation if everything goes well)
have a nice day

After I read your initial post, I found some of my NuMex Trick Or Treat plants had similar loads of blossoms, but they dropped most of them while they were still flowers or very tiny pods. Still got more than average pods from them...
Chile plants are weird

a little and last update about this plant
here is what it looks like
i will try to OW it plus will try 2 clone as soon that i'm sure it got used to the light inside
take a look at THE WOUND ( had 19 flower bud , 12 pod stayed until ripen)
i have around 40 seeds left from normal pod (iso)
40 seeds left from twins pod (iso)
and a bunch of (op) seeds from normal and twins pod
if ever someone is interested ( i'm open to trade )
if this baby or clone of it survive this winter you will be able to see them in my 2018 Glog
tks guys and happy growing

I'm not a botanist but I have been growing peppers since '95, have belonged to many forums and seen thousands of pix of pepper plants and while I've seen a few mutants with a lot of pods in one node I've never seen one that had almost 20 in one node. Add five double pods to the mix and you have a mutant IMO!
Again not a botanist but I believe it's just a one off mutant plant with unique genetics.
I believe this will be the telling tale and I also believe it will not resurface in the plants progeny from seed.

Start your preparation for the aphid infestation now as I believe it's not a matter of IF but WHEN. I hope I'm wrong but an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.PepperPowerG said:
