Well as most of us know (as I learned not too long ago), most peppers contain several types of genes.
The ones with the "characteristics of frutescen", contain the frutescens genes that are the source of those characteristics.
"Pure" Chinense, would not have ANY of those characteristics.
Not ignoring, just really shocked from all the attention I got.chilehunter said:
I'm swamped with work, and I was awfully sick in the last few days.
Well you got my comment, and no... there wasn't any "marathon".chilehunter said:
im with ya stillmanz...... it dont have to be pure and textbook to be enjoyable.
a couple of years back i had a jalapeno plant next to some sort of thai chilli with red hot arrow head shaped little pods that started out all sorts of colours like purple, yellow and orange.
anyway...... i left that town and moved. i dug up the jalapeno and brought it with me but it didnt survive the move. it had one pod on it so i kept the seeds and when i planted them last season i got large light green arrow head shaped jalapenos that are 10 time hotter than usual. they were great..... the best of both worlds. i still have seeds too !
the best dog i had when i was a kid was a german shepard / irish setter cross. loyal, smart and gentle but yould defend you to the death.
im loving growing the chinense chillis..... they are great! i love the flavours and the plants look fantastic. They really seem to love the australian climate.
i just planted a 7 pot/pod seed in a pot in my garage to see if i can get it to kick off to over winter and get a long harvest from next year.
cheers

ground...... what ground.
i have a swamp!!!
Im planning on that one too mate.... as well as a trinidad scorpion. just need to find a pot to put a seed in. i even kept some rain water in a pump pack to water them with..... not that there is much of that around at the moment.
after handling the 7 pot seed..... i licked my fingers..... it took almost 30 seconds then this slow building burn developed on my tongue. Scary stuff!
cheers

I just puta trinidad garden in
congopepper
trinis hot cherry
trinidad scorpion
seven pot
got a wet pot system running and just sowed seeds direct.
I never dothis but its an experiment.
I find chilliplants in my climate dobetter directly sown, youmay lose a few but what survives always grows faster and stronger.
It will either work for me or not.
I'm getting back to nature .....lol

Tony - I planted some 7 Pot from Tdad and they all sprouted and are up with leaves in 9 days....kept them at ~30C.
Stillmanz...... i do agree....... direct sown plants are the go.
I have the same chillis as you by the sounds of it and im very excited. Might put one seed of each in a pot ans one of each in the ground to see how they go. Its a bit cooler down here in the winter so they may not live through the winter and that would be a waste of very hard to get..... precious seeds!
i have considered the posibility of putting stakes around them and wrapping them in clear plastic to heat them through the winter. not sure if this works but i see a lot of seedlings planted by the greenies and council like this... so it nust work.
will give it a go and keep records..... nothing ventured... nothing gained.

Do you get much frost?
If you don't get frost they should be sweet they'll slow down and look ordinary but they shouldn't die if you get mild frost maybe a bit of shade cloth for cover or I see you can get those frost bags there pretty cool, even saw them at bunnings.
I was reading about congopepper crops in Trinidad and they are sown direct picked twice and then turned back in for optimum size.
My fathers been telling me to sow direct for years but i'm always too precious about the seeds lol.
