Looking good, if not quite the desired phenotype. Let me know when I can have mine.

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

Not the right Pheno still showing Reaper rather than MoA ... may be lucky with a single pod which its seed I will send to KD .. can't compete with heat and humidity ... still these gnarly long tailed pods are good for a British climate
I just grew this out this season. Plants were beautiful, and so were the pods - but not exactly what I was looking for. They didn't go the right way for me. First off, out of 3 plants, I got 3 pod shapes, and 2 different colors:
I picked the one in the foreground, because I thought that it was the right shape, albeit a little smaller than Steve's pods. However, I was horrified when I opened it up.
This picture doesn't even begin to do justice. There was literally oil dripping out of this pod. The inside, instead of being roughly the same color as the outside, was almost an albino shade of orange.
As for the taste... I only test peppers like this about an 1/8 at a time. All I can say is, this thing is the stuff of nightmares. Seriously, I had a chocolate Bhutlah that I sampled immediately after this one, and it felt like a relief, by comparison. What I grew is WICKEDLY HOT, and easily the hottest thing I have ever tasted. I cannot grow these seeds out again. I think that instead of getting a mix of Reaper and Bonnet flavor - which would have been delightful - this pheno just compounded the heat of both strains, and drowned out all of the flavor.

Would love to grow these this year.
Unfortunately I didn't hear from him either .... as you can see in earlier posts my two plants produced the Reaper Pheno although the last flowers on the end of the lateral branches gave me tiny bonnet shaped pods but were too small and barrensolid7 said:
I have sent seed from my best pod to KD for him to hopefully get a better shape. I have sown more seed F3 just have to wait and then wish for a good British Summer
I wish you all the best I only received 3 F2 seeds and sowed them all to get two plants.... One reason I won't pass on last season's seed is stabilisation ... if it all goes wrong my end maybe you would be kind enough to save me a few seeds.

So, I had one F2 Obeah left in a far corner, that was neglected and nearly forgotten. So that means, I actually have 4 unique phenos of this attempted cross.
The latest one that I got looks almost like a perfect cross shape wise of a Bahamian Goat and Red Savina Habanero. It's bright red. The flavor is absolutely marvelous. But the heat isn't quite there. And the shape is well... Meh.
Making smoked sauce from a batch of them tomorrow.

Breed it with the all heat, no flavour one and see what happens.
This season's plants ......
So this season I have concentrated on just two ... one I have kept in isolation in the Growtent and another that is in the polytunnel.. last season the pods were Reaper Pheno it was the final pods on the lateral branches that had the true SB shape however they were barren of seed ... let's hope this season produces some great pods
KD how are your's looking
KD how are your's looking
Thanks Chewi please pass on my regards to him. I have a good sized plant in the polytunnel in an air pruning container... initial pods are nice in shape but fearful that they may produce the Reaper tail. Will post a picture when I move the plants into their final positionsChewi said:
As promised these are to date pictures of my "Obeah" F3
Pod in the foreground has a nice shape and the lobes are defined
Smaller pod from the top of the plant
Still along way to go and as I have said before I think that in the later stages of maturity a tail will appear
Thanks for looking in
