would to much Nitrogen cause this ?its cool though I did a soil test my ph was 6.8 to a 7 N, was low, P was medium K, was med/high used chemical kit with the dissolvable tablets from lows,,i then gave em some more frequent feedings fish emulsion jobes organic granular and 1/2 strength MG bloom booster was sprayed on leaves only did the same thing last year no fused stems but diffrent types of peppers more annums a few fatalis and 7 pot yellows is what i grew,,are fused stems common for anyone else i have seen a post along time ago with some i think..
Wow that's crazy!  Obviously a genetic flaw, but it would be really cool if you could save seeds and have that mutation stick around.

i can save seeds but will be open pollinated. yea would be cool to keep the multi stem fusion going as far as i know other than a few slugs cutting holes in my leaves my peppers look healthy

Causation [SIZE=small][edit][/SIZE]
Fasciation can be caused by hormonal imbalances in the meristematic cells of plants, which are cells where growth can occur.[3][4] Fasciation can also be caused by random genetic mutation.[5] Bacterial and viral infections can also cause fasciation.[3] The bacterial phytopathogen Rhodococcus fascians has been attributed as a cause of fasciation, but many fasciated plants have tested negative for the bacteria in studies,[6] hence bacterial infection is not an exclusive causation. It has been demonstrated that the bacteria Rhodococcus fascians causes fasciation to occur in pea (Pisum sativum) plants.[7]
Additional environmental factors that can cause fasciation include fungi, mite or insect attack and exposure to chemicals.[6] General damage to a plant's growing tip[6] and exposure to cold and frost can also cause fasciation.[3][5] Some plants, such as peas and cockscomb Celosia, may inherit the trait.[6]
Fasciation is not contagious,[3] but bacteria that cause fasciation can be spread from infected plants to others from contact with wounds on infected plants and from water that carries the bacteria to other plants.[8]
