Hi i've been on this forum for around 4 hours and i'm getting closer to the answer i want but things are getting more confusing each step of the way.
I bought 3 types of chilli seeds for growing indoors, germination went well and they all stand around an inch tall, i was quite happy with the way things are going until a horrible thing happened, my friend 'invented' pollination!!!
I always thought plants just grow and fruit. I've looked into it and understand how the process work, but now i'm running into words and areas that i either don't understand or can't find the corrrect answers to.
I found a lot of info on thechileman.org, like the following about my plants
Thai dragon (Annuum)
Maui Purple (Annuum)
Jelapeno Early (Annuum)
I don't know if them all being the same species is a good thing?
I know that if they cross pollinate each other Prolific happens(wtf is this?)
if they do cross pollinate to cause a hybrid is it possible to target different flowers of the same plant with differnt pollen in order to experiment with different hybrids growing at the sametime on one plant? and after i try this will the plant be 'infected' and produce hybrids from then on?
will the seed from the hybrid be able to produce more of it's self if grow?
Can i pollinate my plants just by rubbing the pollen of the flower without the need to collect pollen from another?
I know i'm full of questions, all i really wanted was a few easy self grown plants in my room (i've dug my hole and i can't help but lie in it). Any answer will be appreciated, and btw HI i'm Dave.
