Started extremely early this year and these plants were part of a hardening off experiment. Yellow ghost pepper plants were given 24 hour light (MH n HPS) for about a month before going outside. I was trying to eliminate hardening off time. Seemed to work well. However, one plant put on flowers while indoors and now has red pods outdoors.
My first thought is growing indoors in tight spaces, there was cross pollination. No bees in the plant room but I have fans everywhere. My second thought is that one of the plants just got mislabeled. Time will tell with the next wave of pods. But wonder if the shift from 24 hour light to suddenly a more normal light cycle might have triggered something odd.
Has anyone ever left yellow ghost pods to over mature? Do they turn red after yellow? Kind of wondering because I half expected them to stop maturing and fall off with the sudden change. That is what happened to tomato that got the same treatment. The tomato formed indoors, then when they went from 24 hours to normal daylight the tomato rotted and fell.
