Question: When growing seedlings of pepper crosses, are there any traits that indicate a successful future pepper plant, such as color or number of cotyledons?
The reason I ask is because I want to grow Habaneros this year, so I got this Habanero (or what was labeled as one at least) at the farmer's market the other week and planted the seeds from it:
It was a pretty tasty and attractive pepper, so I thought why not.
Well, the seeds all sprouted and there's a TON of variation:
Obviously this pepper was a cross, or cross pollinated, so now I'm in a pickle. Which seedlings do I keep?
I'm going to let them grow out a bit longer before culling, but I'm wondering if there are any indications this early on as to which seedlings might be the most promising. I did some searching and couldn't find any answers other than "pick the bigger one" and "no, pick the smaller one", soooooo yeah.
Which ones would you choose?
