Decided to clean off the plants again.

The annum peppers and tomatoes are on a bit of a pause right now, possibly heat related.
 
Crossability and evaluation of incompatibility barriers in crosses between Capsicum species
 
Abstract: The objectives of this study were to estimate the crossability rate in combinations of and assess the occurrence of incompatibility barriers between Capsicum species. The species C. annuum, C. chinense, C. frutescens, C. baccatum var. pendulum, and C. baccatum var. baccatum were crossed and the number of hand-pollinations and of resulting fruits and plants was registered. The resulting hybrids were evaluated for their pollen viability and in the crosses that produced no hybrids, the in vivo germination of pollen grains was assessed. Some crosses generated hybrids, while others produced no fruit or, despite generating fruits, no plants grew from them. The crossability rate between species of the complex C. annuum and C. baccatum ranged from 2.2% to 3.7%, and was 14.6% between species of the complex C. annuum. A pre-fertilization barrier was observed in the non-germination of pollen grains, as well as post-fertilization barriers consisting of embryo death, lack of vigor and hybrid sterility.
 
 
Edit: Yeah, it's pubescens :banghead: I don't know why I always think that rocoto is baccatum, but it might be an interesting reference anyway.
 
Picked a few peppas.
Orange Giant Rocotos, Rocoto San Isidro, Equadorian Sweet Rocoto and a few Rocoto Montufar, Monzano Giant Red Rocoto and Gelbe Riesen Giant Yellow Rocoto and Arequipa Giant Rocoto and White Habaneros, Emerald Fire X F2 and Devils Brain and Bhut Jalokia Indian Carbon, Pepperoncini X F2.

...umm, I think you're gonna need more jars. :think:
 
I decided to put an end to a Sriracha Hybrid Jalapeno/FRANKEN plant. It had grown just a main stalk with no lateral branching, just large droopy leaves.

I recovered two small pods off of it and thought I might get a few F2 seeds.

No luck on the seeds, just two empty pods.

That is the end of this plants story.

Picked an assortment this morning. A definite slowdown now in the heat. Time to terminate some of the less desirable(to me) plants.

Still a nice harvest though :)
 
In my climate (humid tropical), 32°C seems to be a tipping point. My plants thrive when temperatures are a bit cooler (30°C), but once temperatures hit 35°C plants suffer and flower drop increases dramatically :(
