I was able to start four C. galapagoenses (they didn't all come up on the same date):

Galapagoense flowering, fruiting...

[Sanarda]

Gorgeous. Your crosses have survived my near catastrophe. You gave me some survivors. ahahahahahaa

 

[Spicegeist]

Locato x CGN 19198:

A bunch of Pimenta da Neyde x Duke Pequin next to a Butch T and Barrackpore:

TS Morouga Blend, Choco Habs, Morado and a some Bhuts in the back:

Yeah, I like furry plants, they're a lot of fun to grow.

Good to hear, hybrid vigor can come in handy...

C. parvifolium:

Labuya:

Choco Bhut x Douglah... really looking forward to this one:

Tepin looks great, use the seed clipping technique?


I have 7 tepins going myself.

You know, I don't actually recall if I did or not... once they germinate the rest is history

 

[Pr0digal_son]

Plants are looking great Charles! I have a cgn19198 growing and I'm excited to see how it grows. Did you cross it with a locato or obtain those seeds? Growing the parvifolum and dino also. We both have some serious fuzz going this year.

I also have a CGN19198 growing, but am not sure if it will make it. I didn't make the Locato cross, just growing it out...

I also have a few more from you I didn't snap pics of... just a sampling at this point...

 

[Portuge]

Impressive wilds Charles...

 

[FireEater101]

Nice work Spice!! Those plants look absolutely amazing!

[JJJessee]

Great photos, Spice. Will those monster plants (beautiful monsters) get one more or two more pot-ups? Do you container grow everything ?
I wonder if I might have started my annums too soon (2/10/13) for mid-May plant-out and my supers too late.

 

[Hammerfall]

nice glog! continue the good work!

cant wait to see the pods on the bhut x douglah !

 

[Spicegeist]

Potted up two dozen plants into 1-gallon pots:

Florida Wild x C. chinense (unknown):

My darkest f2 Pimenta da Neyde x Bhut:

Piri piri:

Guam Boonie:

Wiri x Bhut:

Peru Wild:

Donne Sali:

 

[Portuge]

Fuzz fuzz all over on that Peru wild... Your plants are making great progress Charles...

 

[Spicegeist]

Thanks Portuge, yeah, I wasn't expecting that Peruvian Wild to look like that. There also seems to be a decent level of diversity here, the seedlings have not grown identical...

 

[PIC 1]

I like that PDN X Bhut.....and the hairy wilds................digging it !

 

[Sanarda]

Beautiful pics. Plants are loving what your doing.

 

[buddy]

nice!

 

[Spicegeist]

Too many Florida Wild seedlings, I'll just see what happens, they're extras at this point:

So originally I separated two Florida Wilds out, one of them turned out to be crossed with a chinense, the other looks fine... tonight I put two more of these seedlings into their own pots and under the grow lights. They're fun little peppers...

I like that PDN X Bhut.....and the hairy wilds................digging it !

I have a Duke Pequin x PdN that is turning purple... could also be interesting...

Beautiful pics. Plants are loving what your doing.

Thanks P... just wait till they start fruiting

Looks like things are coming along well for you. You've got a lot of interesting stuff going on here - and they look great. I've got three sprouts now of your yellow 7 x fatalii F2's that have come up for me, so it looks like we'll get to see how they turn out this year. I'm curious. The pods you got from those last year looked awesome, so I'm excited.
