I thought you were growing what I called MY kitchen pepper. LOL(See your Glog,my reply).
I grew a 7 Pot SR (pic says 7 pot #1 only for my info,I grew several 7 pots that year)for a few years that always had 7 pot looking pods.
The year I grew it in Hydro it had smooth pods.
It was a Chinense.
Outside pic- these look smooth but as they turned red they got bumpy,they were very hot.
Inside F4 or F5
Hotter than habs.Low end of the super scale In My opinion though others said they were hotter...
All seeds I used were isolated once I grew them for my collection.
I don't know about my original source-looks like they were not pure going by my end results unless Hydro made a difference.
I called it my kitchen pepper because it took over my kitchen...
It was an easy 5ft. X 6ft. when I gave it to Malisa.
IT Totally filled her Scion.
It was a good tasting and very prolific pepper.
I guess I gotta specify C.Chinense RED 7 pot,or do like everyone else-re name it,call it a NEW strain and sell it for $$$$$. LOL
