I'm growing a very limited number of plants during the Winter. These are all crosses and I'm starting them early in case they inherit any extra-long season traits.

I didn't really notice the smell from mine either. Maybe faintly too. I thought maybe just because it was young, but I have heard certain--still unknown?--conditions possibly trigger it.
Inspired I went and cross-pollinated my own wild today. It's no C. galapagoense but I crossed a C. chacoense with a baccatum and a C. annuum with chaco. Also inspired, they shall remain a mystery.Now to play the waiting game and see if they take!
Plants look great I like how the pimenta x bhut flower looks can not wait to see it set pod for you. What are you expecting or want for the pod to look like for the color.
Charles the plant looks great the Bhut Jolokia x PDN black I have is all purple like the typical PDN starts off I also started some Galapagos Issabella seeds this week do have any advice becuase I heard they are very finicky plants that take a long time to pod up.
Thanks for the help
Awesome detail in the photos. Can even see the "hair follicles!"
Interesting color of the Bhut cross.....thick petiole with an unusual calyx.
That plants pumping out pods early...........nice!
Hey, SG! Looks like fun, brother!
Good luck with those mystery crosses.
You are to be commended for having the
patience to do the crosses!
VERY nice!!I love the coloring.
Nice !......The Gallup Poll has the Galapagoense up by one!.........ha
Great, I hope mine will look like that if they're not to shy to show face.
How long from the time you sunk the seeds ?
