Wrinkly and Pimply but is it a Reaper?

O

Obi1Kanobi

Hello guys, I planted these “Carolina reapers” about 4 months ago and they were all in the Carolina reaper section. These guys have been growing but for some reason, Chillis A and B don’t look at all like Chilli C (which I believe is a reaper). I wanted to find out if anybody has any clue of what chillis A and B might be? All help will be greatly appreciated  :party:
 
Chilli A

Agree: A and B no  C likely
Going to say someone got seeds stuck to their fingers or labeled something wrong.  I usually blame my weird ones on labeling wrong because I goof things up all the time.

I can relate to you AJ. My "chocolate hab" is mid-winter blooming... And I just realised that plant is a annuum.

Or lose your cheat sheet all together. 80-90 varieties and don't have a clue who's who. I'll be lighting up the pepper id thread soon.

That is the funniest thing I heard all week. It reminds of what i did earlier this season. while labeling my beauties I grabbed my daughters crayola markers. You know the rest.

wow thank you so much guys! i looked up pictures of Red habaneros online and seems like the red ones i got are probably those. @TakashiLM, ive attached another picture of the Carolina, hope you can see it a little better now :)
 
P.s. one of the red peppers is more bumpy than the other one i.e. ive looked up habaneros and they seem to have a polished texture but this red is kinda bumpy...you guys think it still might be a habanero?

On loosing cheat sheets and what not.  I am to the point where I have a map of the rows, each row has a number, a cheat sheet, and I have three markers per row.  One at each end and one in the middle.  Where I screw up is in planting.  I'll get to that hot, tired, and dizzy point and not be bright enough to take a break.  So I wind up not paying attention & I never seem to learn.  You get to doing something and you just dont want to quit till its done, so you screw things up.

I have the exact same scenario going on, grew out 2 plants 2 of which from a source I won't name but they have been beaten and drug through the mud here many times....it was just for fun and the other from my own years past stock. 
 
The two plants that were the amazing Carolina Reaper are producing these...

Or even better, you go through the effort to properly label everything with markers at each plant and make your map with proper labeling per location and the you realize your kids were playing with the ID tags before you mapped it out. 
 
This is why my Choc. Scotch Bonnet looks like a JPGS and why my Pink Tiger looks like, well I don't know what it looks like.

I had a problem with labeling a few years ago. Now I sow directly into solo cups and they stay there until plant out. The name is written on the cup with a Sharpie, so I cut it off in a v shape and stick it in the ground next to the plant. But as Elpicante stated, dont use the kiddo's Crayola markers......

To the op: A looks like a Red Hab. B looks kind of like a Scorpanero to me. C could be a reaper.

Last season I was carrying my 72 plug seedling tray down the stairs and I beefed it face first, all the seedling plugs scattered down the stairs and I was left with a bunch of unknown seedlings, a black eye and a little less pride.
