is my chocolate hab a chocolate hab ?

[ohmatic]

i ask because all it seems to do is get a darker red instead of showing any tendencies of going brown at all !

are they supposed to "redden up" before going brown or do i simply have a mislabeled strain ?

 

[RichardK]

Thats not a chocolate hab at all. It's a nice looking one though.

 

[redeyeguy]

Definitely mislabeled - REAL Chocolate Habs are dark brown, very much like dark chocolate.

I had a situation like this last year.....go brown go brown...nah! Mislabelled!

 

[POTAWIE]

Definitely not a chocolate hab but then again even chocolate habs are usually Congos and not really habs

 

[ohmatic]

so yeah great the ebay dude fucked me over then

 

[ohmatic]

oh yeah, would somebody mail me some "real" chocolate hab seeds for next year ?

i could trade you some of these strange red habanero seeds or some orange habs ?

 

[FadeToBlack]

I have some seedlings growing at the moment from seedrack. Will let you know in due time if they are really Congo Blacks.

nope sorry, but man them pods are HOT. guess ill just run them as "red habaneros" for my collection .. any complaints about that one ?

(cuz their like red and habs and hot and stuff )

 

[POTAWIE]

Well they are red and chinense but likely not a hab. No offence, but if everybody labelled their unknown red chinenses as red habanero then there would be a whole lot more confusion.
Personally I'd just label them something like: Talljess unknown red chinense 2009, and maybe add yor seed source

You are tracking that Bhuts are twice as hot as red savinas habeneros right?

 

[peppermanbaha]

looks more like a red savina or red hab IMO

oh ill definitely run UNKNOWN along with the name and i am not likely to give it away since i dont know what it is.
just for my personal labelling
