Seed train bloopers

Seed trains are great for getting a lions share of pepper varieties to grow. But there is a downside as well. You have no way of knowing if what you are going to spend 8 months growing is as was marked on the pack. This thread is for posting your disappointments as well as the unforeseen blessings of growing the wrong peppers.

these were supposed to be reapers. Look more like some kind of nagas or naga scorpions. any guesses? I have yet to try them. Dont particularly care for most red pods.

It is always a good idea when growing seed from a train to get varieties from different sources so as to eliminate these kind of problems, if that is what they become. I do have one spectacular reaper plant so this may not be the end of the world. It may actually be good.
