Alrighty folks! It's almost plant out time and that means that my basement and lights are going to be freed up for some crossing projects through the summer. 
 
I have 4 DWC buckets available for growing peppers indoors all summer. (not to mention racks for seedling growout)
2 spots are already taken by White Fatalii and CGN-21500.
 

 
These Plants will be the Base for all my other crosses. Meaning that I will use pollen from plants that are outdoors in the rest of my collection crossed with these. These will be tagged and harvested and grown out in the basement to choose phenos. I'm planning on going for taste more than heat. 
 
Plants to choose from  
 

 
My biggest focus will be crossing the White Fatalii with CGN-21500 but will do plenty of other crosses with them as well.

Once the poll is complete Thursday night- the two winning plants will be moved to the hydro system and this thread will serve as my grow log for this project. 

Y'all are more than welcome to offer suggestions as to what you would like to see crossed with what as well. I'm sure I will be sharing seeds with most of you at some point (prolly F2? maybe some F1's)

Those are some nice looking crosses.  I plan on tuning into this thread regularly now. 
 
Do you mark each flower after you cross pollinate them, and do you cross pollinate multiple flowers on the same with different varieties?
 
Yes and sometimes, i mark each flower and assign a letter and number value that I keep on a spreadsheet so I can easily keep track. Sometimes, what and how many of varies greatly. Depends on how many flowers, what sounds good, how much time I feel like putting in that day ect.

I saw a taproot on one of the Paper Lantern X Butch T Yellow seeds today.

Sweet!   :dance:  Pretty sure I had decent germ rates on those.

Thanks, can't wait to see what some the  other pods look like. Especially once they are in the ground this summer and developing properly. 
 
Yes , I had zero pop for me a few months ago. Glad that at least one has. I think they just needed a longer dormancy period because my 7pot burgundy cross didn't germ either previous attempt but I've had 100% germ this attempt.

Only one of my aji amarillo x caribbean red habs out of all the seeds I had popped. So those def had poor germ rates but that can be expected with a baccatum x chinense
 
Definite tail on baha goat x butch t yellow. Didn't take a pic and won't until I open the ziploc next time so I don't disturb it much. Should be tomorrow or the next day and in dirt it goes. Germ date was 1/9 and I don't have high hopes that any of the other 9 will germ but we'll see.
 
Not quite an update from me but a comment. The F1 cross of yours that I'm growing out - it's weirdly resistive to two biggest pests that I've encountered so far: psyllids and broad mites. Both the DWC and the soil plant have been sitting around the plants which have been pretty hammered by mites and I have recently had a bunch of psyllids around. I've really had hard time battling the mites with lime sulphur, mite sprays and have just ordered a bunch of predatory mites to help. The psyllids are easier this season for some reason - I got on it early and managed to keep them under control.
 
The weird thing is, your plants have not had any mite damage (I still sprayed them as well as the rest, but didn't have to trim them as there was no damage that I could see), and psyllids ignore them too - I haven't seen any on either of them.
 
Whatever the reason, this is pretty sweet!

That's excellent to hear. It may be purely coincidental but the parents where treated with azamax a few times to combat spider mites. It's systemic , maybe that somehow passed on to the seeds? I highly doubt thats the case but just thought id mention that. Azamax is neem derived but works so much better.
 
Do you know if Azamax works against broad mites? I saw it mentioned a few times in multiple sources when i was researching various ways of fixing this problem.
 
But yup, these plants do seem very resistant.
