Looking good, Andy! Did you get a chance to
try some of the pods from the in-ground plant?

How hot are these things? Is a half of one going to destroy me? Lol

Nowhere near that category, yet. The late season pods
might be something else, but so far the early pods are
not above medium heat. Just start with a small piece to
get an idea before trying a larger one. Have fun!

The P.Dreadie is a Scotch Bonnet. What I like about this variety is it is a bit less hot and has more flavor (in my experiences) than the MoA or the plain Scotch Bonnet.

Sounds excellent! Where do I start to try it/grow it/etc?

If my p dreadie produce I will have some seed for ya

Those are totally awesome plants, Rick! Now that
they have set pods, the rate should really increase.
I hope they produce a bumper crop for you.

You know Paul, I believe I'd very much like to be onboard with next year's grow. No hurry though, I've barely got pods yet this year! :whistle:

Walchit · Jul 12, 2018

Fried this little sliver and through it on this bacon egg bread combo.

Chinense aroma. Quite a bit of heat. My tolerance is down right now. Glad I did t eat the whole thing lol

Good on ya, mate! Probably hard to get a sense of the
flavor of the pod on the bacon and egg, but that's a great
use for that pepper!

Hope your pods are ripening nicely.

When the F7 seed is ready, I'll send some your way, Eric.

Good luck with those Aji Amarillo. I hope you get some
nice pods from them.

hi all. i stumbled upon this thread yesterday and read the entire thread from the beginning and its so cool how it has played out with seeds getting sent around the world for the following year`s grow. if this will be done again for next year`s grow i would love to try growing a few. good luck to everybody who has plants growing now.

PaulG · Jul 14, 2018

Glad you have enjoyed this group effort, Kevin.
As for next years grow season, stay tuned and
when seeds are available speak up. Hopefully,
there will be an abundance among the group of
growers. All that is asked in return is updates
now and then about the plants of the cross you grow.
The purpose of the project is to see if the phenotype
stays consistent across a much larger grow than one
person can carry out. This year, we are growing F6
(I do have a few F4 growing), so next year would be
the F7, sort of a marker year, I gather.

PaulG · Jul 14, 2018

A few pics from the PNW...

This F4 is really bushing out at the bottom. Overwinter, anyone?

From F4-2, first early pod:

From F4-3:

F3 podding up:

And bulking up:

Some early pod ripening on F6W, LP (last pod):

F6W, LP AND F6W-2 got some shade cloth today to help
combat sun in the 90s. F6P and F6W-1 are not so lucky.
I will say these are sun loving plants, however:

That about does it from this corner of the PNW. I hope everyone
is having a superb grow, and that the vegetative and pod phenotypes
continue to be true to past experience. Your pictures really help us to
track the progress of Tristens cross!

hi paul. documenting and sharing the results are no problem. your plants are looking great!

It certainly has a nice flavor, without the kill-ya heat. And I've shared a few pods.
Everyone comments about what a nice pepper it is, flavor wise
Yes, indeed, Tristen has produced a nice pepper hybrid. If past
experience holds true, the Fall peppers will be paler and hotter
than their early season counterparts.

Did you notice any change of flavor as the colors changed?

I didn't taste much difference between the light purple
pod I ate and the yellow one. The yellow, being more ripe,
tasted more mature, I guess. Am looking forward to tasting
some of the later season ivory/white pods.

PaulG · Jul 16, 2018

Speaking of taste testing, all the early pods have
softened, so I picked them. All these are from the
F6 plants:

Good demonstration of the range of colors
you might see on the early pods.
The pods in the lower right corner are for me to
taste test. Purple/White vs. Yellow/Ivory
The rest go to our Neighbors.
Bwahaahaahaaaahaaaaaaa.

Paul I've been reading this Post from day one and its absolutely brilliant what you Guy's have done!outstanding .if there is any spare F7 seeds going spare at the end of the season I would love to grow them and compare with everyone else's as I'm in Scotland and it would be quite a challnge in my climate I have just bought a greenhouse so that should give me a head start next season eagerly awaiting you're reply

Absolutely, Terry. I'm glad you are enjoying everyone's efforts.
This really is a group project.

I should have seeds available for a few more folk for next season's grow.
Just stay tuned to this thread, and PM me your addy at some point.

Congrats on your acquisition of a greenhouse! Good luck with that.

It will be interesting to see a Scottish take on Tristen's experiment.
I suspect gardening in general is not easy as close to the Northern
latitudes as you are in Scotland.

I recently glued numerous flowers in my garden for isolation and, of course, it rained. But I managed to keep a few sealed and one of them was the white version of this variety...so I'll have isolated seeds for next season. But here are a couple pics.

OMG Wow, buddyReally looking good. Some great
gnarly phenotypes and color changes. Just stellar!

Pod review forthcoming ? Inquiring minds want to know!
