Yep looks like one.
Woohoo!!! My first pod, I dedicate this little fella to the wonderful people here at thp. This plant probably would have died long ago without the abundance of information ive recieved from you all. That being said wether this pod matures or falls off before maturity I will eat it regardless!!

Yepper thats a baby pepper....
Yes, a pod. But I'm puzzled by all the blackish specs on the leaf to the upper left of it. Dirt? Are you throwing dirt around? Possibly bugs? Looks like dirt to me. But then there's the brown spot on the crest of the vein to the immediate left...... More dirt?
Yes most likely dirt from when I potted up a couple days ago. Ive been checking with a loupe almost daily for bugs and havnt seen anything moving. Some leaves where showing signs of fert burn so I repotted to a soil with no chemical ferts.

Definitely a pod. Now just wait and hope that it makes it to maturity.
Do pods ever really fall off once they get started? Out of the 150 ish that I've seen they don't once they actually start. So yeah, that should be ripe in about a month and a half. Congrats. How big is the plant, because come March or so the pods are gonna be about the size of a tennis ball.

This particular plant is only about 8 inches tall. The other sb is a good 12 or so along with the fatalli but this one has way more flowers.

Hope the're around 2-3 feet by March then, otherwise you're gonna need to stake them, and you might not be able to pick pods without damaging them. One of my habs made around 30 pods when it was a foot tall, got pretty badly torn just because there wasn't enough space for a branch not to be made too thin by picking them. The plant recovered in time for the next harvest but still. Let me know how the fatalli goes, I hear that the're a lot hotter than the scoville rating says the should be (only 300k average, but taste like 700k).
