Pimenta da Neyde x Bhut F2... I wasn't counting on purple being so dominant here, will have to pick a few from these to grow out:

Here are some of my 2013 treasures.

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

Had to play a bit of catch-up but looking great, Charles!

CGN 19198, is that C. eximium? I've also seen it listed as C. sp. but I don't know enough about it. Either way, the C. pubescens x CGN 19198 is a very interesting one! Can't wait to see it's progress.

Such amazing plants God has created!
 
Hey Gasi, someone gave me that cross and I really don't know much about the CGN19198 either... just along for the ride on that one. It's a little bigger now. Glad to see my glog is inspiring some spiritual reflection ;)... although I'm not quite sure who's really responsible for some of these bad boys :hell:

Some seedlings:

C. parvifolium:

Amazing...I really liked your philosophy with the crosses. Pic a couple you like, cross them yourself and you won't be disappointed with what comes up! All your crosses are pure genius, but the tepinxbarrackpore...bound for perfection. Thanks for this glog brother...made my day!
 
Congats Charles! I do not believe peppers could look any healthier than these. Awesome job so far. Pictures are just beautiful. I will send you pics when the new ones get some size. Keep it up.
 
Wow..plants look amazing. Love the fact you are doing soo many crosses - it's the way forward for sure.

They are guna go boom when you get em outside as they are really good size already.

I love the pics of the flo wilds, ton's of sprouts in that one pot. Hope they were not too much of a headache to pot on.

Thanks for sharing your pics and success, gotta love those crosses man. GREAT STUFF!

Cheers
Pete
 
Your plants all look amazing! I still have so much to learn and 2014 will be different. I need to build a true grow room in my basement so I can regulate the heat. I find heat is my largest challenge to date followed by insects.

I agree, crossing will ultimately help the genetics and give us collectively a few surprises down the line... out of all of those Florida Wild seedlings I potted up 4, one of them definitely crossed with a chinense and is growing like a mutant monster, but that's just the hybrid vigor kicking in... let me know if you want to try some of these I can attempt to send you some pods later in the year...

I think you're right. I got lucky with my setup, the basement where I move seedlings is a few degrees cooler. It seems just right to keep them growing, but not too warm that they grow too fast and the aphids outpace that too... One of my goals for this year is to be as meticulous as I can with cleaning off the plants before overwintering...

Would love to receive some fresh pods but might be a problem as I'm in the UK, however I would love to try growing some myself and as I have a massive grow going on next year, I'm on the lookout for rare seeds. When I say rare I mean seeds that can not be obtained over on the UK so any crosses, strange super hot's etc is what I'm after. If your in a position to share some of the seeds when they are there, I would be more than happy to buy some from you and pay all the postage etc. Always looking for cool seeds. Thanks
