I am very new to this all. I have a few questions that I hope to have answered by the veterans here. There are many pictures of the SR strain and the Brainstrain on here. 1.How does one tell the difference? 2. How are they different? 3.Are they genetically the same? 4.Do you select the phenotype you want from the plant and keep growing out seeds from it? Again I am very new to this and am interested in learning as much as I can. I am sure these questions may sound dumb to most. Thanks in advance for any answers.

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.
SR? Brainstrain?

The SR strain 7 Pod and the Brain Strain are related in the same way the T. Scorpion and ButchT Scorpion are. The Brain Strain 7 Pod is my variety that I have selectively saved seed from only the hottest most wrinkled pods each year and attempted to improve the strain. The first year I grew 7 Pod there was just one plant that stood out above all the rest for pod shape and that is where this strain originated. Link below from the first year.

Thanks PRF. Guess nobody better to enlighten me than yourself. Looking forward to growing these both. Thanks again for the knowledge.
i would say the brain strain is aform of SR if i got that right
A lot has been cleared up for me. Still would be hard to visually ID them. Hope this doesn't turn out like other strains. I can see the snake oil salesmen trying to make some coin off of these.
like i wam working on Yellow Brain strain which i have been selecting and reselecting from Yellow SR i have had for while
this one from last year's harvest it seems to be stable so it will be added to the website soon, the EverGreen 7 Pod will not because i have to test it for three generations at least this year they came just as ture as the first one chirs's harvest of the EverGreen 7pod was stable as well but i have to retest it befor spread it all over.

Judy, what lovely pods!Beautiful! I second Beaglestorm. Nice to see you back posting pics!! I'm very happy to hear you had success with the Evergreen 7 Pots in the F2 generation. Did you have any plants that produced fruit unlike those pictured?
Nice Yellow Brain Strain too.

Wow Judy.......that yellow Brain Strain looks fantastic.....if you´ll add it to the website, I´ll order it for sure next year. I´m wondering, if the heat level is at least remotedly close to the level of the original red Brain Strain. If yes, you have something.... 
By the way, thanks a lot for the extra seeds you sent with my order to Slovakia....
