review Now those are what you call a scotch bonnet!

I just ordered a few packs of these, had to they are perfect specimens and it’s rare to find a breeder that grows no other plants to avoid cross contamination *and* selects seed stock from only the properly shaped pods.

Great link guys thanks for posting it up 👍

I think he saves seeds by looks. He does a video where he ranks them as class a seeds, class b seeds, etc. Kinda like how the MOA in Jamaica defines it.

My understanding is that selecting the best pods is a flawed technique. Entire plants should be selected for their traits, rather than individual pods. A seed from a badly shaped pod, from a plant that produces mostly properly shaped pods, is fine for seeds. A seed from a perfectly shaped pod, from a plant that produces only rare properly shaped pods, is the bad choice.

A good point. They should select best looking pods and re-cross and keep it going until you start to get only a good looking pods :)
