Got mine in today, thanks for the extras, I was expecting Fatalii yellows, but should of read the description for it being red. But as luck would have it both my Fatalii Yellows, and Reds came up while waiting to get these. Super excited for the Moruga x Reaper, and the Brown Bhut. Also can never have too many Aji Lemon Drops. 10/10 Will Buy From Again.
Some of them will likely turn out yellow, it was a red plant (oddball from a pack of Yellow fatalli) growing in the middle of 250+ yellow fatallis. It was my oversight that led to the yellows not getting in inventory. The seed envelope got left out at the farm where the mice got in to it. Missed it when I was bringing all of the seeds home. We de-seeded like 10,000 frigging seeds and then I left it behind.
The Moruga x Reapers are very, very good.
I just put another tray of Aji Limo's down last night here. I was going through my grow list and I"m like.. wait.. where the hell are all the Aji's!??!!
So I started four trays of various Aji's.
Like the description said everything last year was open pollinated so do expect some stuff to not grow true. That being said, I had blocks of cucumbers between the peppers which drew away the vast majority of bees. Very few bees in the pepper plants last year. Rows were also planted E-W which is our predominant wind direction so wind cross pollination should have been pretty minimal.
We'll just have to see how everything grows out this year! I'm hoping for some nice surprises on new phenos, I'd actually be disappointed if I didn't see a bunch of new types of peppers emerge from the cauldron.
So far the germ rate on everything I've planted from our seed stock which has sprouted has been incredibly good, only thing lagging a little is 7-pot Brainstrain, but they're sluggish to germinate anyway. I started trays from the same seeds we shipped from for Q&A so I had a baseline if anyone had trouble getting things to sprout.
