Not sure if there's something wrong here.....

I apologise in advance if this is in the wrong area but this is just so weird! This is a Santa-Fe / Fresno plant from last season, that I Wintered in my kitchen, so I could get a jump start for this season. I just went to water it and saw this pepper.
I know for a fact this is a "Santa-Fe / Fresno Cross" plant, I harvested from this plant last year. So what's going on with that pepper? Is there maybe something else in there that is just now showing itself that I didn't know about?

A pepper from last season from the same plant

Looks like it's been "huffing" on that silver Krylon.
Move the paint!

Just a genetic mutation... almost looks like a pepper's version of "siamese twins"

...Effing amazing!!!

To the matter at hand though - it's surely just a one pod anomaly, willing to bet the others will be just fine.

Looks like a power lifter pepper, trying to get stronger than any superhot.

There is a section for Pepper ID named identically.

Just a mutated pod. That picture is awesome. Makes an awesome profile pic.

Because "That which is different must be destroyed!" ?

Heck, no! Let it grow and see what it develops into! Be sure to save the seeds, you might be onto something.

Not trying to ID it, I know what it is. It's a Santa-Fe/Fresno cross, was just curious what was happening to it.

And yes, I'm going to let it grow and harvest the seeds for next year. We'll see what I get, hope it's something weird.

I always assume as a rule of thumb that it's from genetic modification and destroy the seeds from them instead of trying to compost the guts...(they go in the burn pile)
