XXX POD PORN XXX

Great Photo's and great pods! Next years list just got a little longer.
 7 pod Jonah and Antilles Fire,  on next years list I have a primo and red brains and Regular T.S. and a T.S. Cardi along with a peach Bhut that I thought was a orange Bhut.
anyway C. chinense will not normally cross with a annuum but that is not to say it cant be done, just a bit harder to do and I think the seeds would be partially sterile.
Take a look at the flowers to see what color they are if the male parent is the Tepin chances are the flowers will be white while if the lemon drop is the male or if it is another C. chinense the flowers will be greenish to cream colored and if it has crossed with a baccatum the flowers will have green or tarnish markings.

Here's a pic of one of my plants. It's in my Glog as well, but I thought others might like to see it here too. It was supposed to be a Douglah, but it's not:

Be cool if they turn brown for you.

That is one strong flush of peppers. That plant is a producer.
 
Would be nice to bag some flowers and regrow a few of them next year. If it is a cross, i wonder what the F2's would look like.
 
Hi Smiley, I meant to add this into the email I sent you, so its a bit late you can try it next time.
 
I was told by a tomato and pea Breeder that you can use a Q Tip and some Elmer's glue to seal the blooms and keep the peppers from cross breeding also you could do the same when making a hybrid.
 
When just sealing you wait till the flower is getting ready to bloom in a day or two, then put a drop of glue on the Q Tip and gently swab the top of the petals, when you want to make sure your hybrid is safe pull open the petals and removed the anthers then seal the bloom.
 
I think this has some good points, but it would be time consuming and a bit tiering doing big inground and big pots.
 
My hands shake a bit to much to do a good job at adding the glue, and removing the anthers I usually destroy the flowers, but you could do this on a smaller plant that is harder to get to make pods.
 
Those pods especially the long bumpy one with a tail looks like a real Scorcher and the others on the last photo post look like Ghost peppers it will be interesting to see what you end up with.
 
I thought I had three Barrackpores in a row but found that the third and biggest that was setting pods is a Ghost pepper of some sort.
 
this isn't my own personal photo, but i don't feel bad sharing given  the story..

But this is a pic of a Peach Ghost Scorpion plant that I grew from seed and gave the plant to my mate a month or so ago, because most of his pepper crop was destroyed but cutworm..
Slightly jealous that he has a Ghost Scorpion pod, and i don't. and then more jealous about the praying mantis.
Hope he gets many more!
epic picture!

Thanks! I'm going to try that! Sounds like it would work great. Maybe i can tag the flowers i did it too with those plastic tabs on a bread bag. Just hang it off the stem of the flower so its marked.... As for the long ones with the stingers I'm hoping there nasty hot. They are suposed to be peach bhut but the pods were grown around brains, butch ts, trin scorps, infinitys, primos and prolly a bunch of others. Got no clue what they were crossed with but they are sweet!... Since were taking about crosses check this one out. Its supposed to be a red scorpanero.. Was hoping for red peach and chocolate. The pods i got the seed from were about an inch long and round. Here's what i got out of out tho. Heck the peach one is way cooler than this one.

Ok. Just ran out and snapped a couple pics. These came from the Peach pods

And these were from the chocolate.

I could do this all day. Lol.. Think i counted 86 plants

Primo looks like a good eatin pepper. Like to see your harvest come along. Keep them pics coming. :drooling:

Tinben your nuts. Lmao! They're so fliping hot! I'll have to send you a box of some crazy hot stuff someday soon. You could get ballsy and eat one of those primos i got on video and let us watch! Ha, you'd earn mad man points.
 
Those are some wild pods, I did decide to do a cross just to see if it would take the genetics, I always thought it was hard for a C. chinense to cross with a Annuum but I read that its the baccatum that the chinense can't cross with very easily,  so I took a Trinidad Scorpion and crossed it to a Gongo's laudium which is a C. annuum just to see if the cross will work Gongo's laudium looks a lot like a Cayenne and just has one flower per node the plant is growing into a large plant so if the cross works I should have wicked pepper on a large plant. ' I really love the way the Bhuts look as all the twist and bumps really helps to give them a good scare factor.
I have one plant here at my apartment I have several of these at my garden the seeds were marked "Not SB7J" and I want to see just what they look like so far the small baby pods do not look like a scotch bonnet and more like a Jonah to some degree I will have to find a photo of a Jonah pod to confirm what it may be.
Some of the coolest pods that I will have this season is the Red Primo and Moruga Blend and Red Brain Strain, your crosses may just need a little more time to develop better looking pods a little later on when the weather is hotter and the plants are older that is when I usually start saving various pods for getting seeds from as I get a better idea on what the pods will look like. 
I don't go by what the pods look like, but rather the plant that they came from I always like it when I find a good healthy plant near the end of the season filled with pods that look their best and are more true to type of what they are.
 
This is a thread I posted a while back...should help you all out with the breeding.

I know there have been many questions on breeding/crossing chiles over the last couple of days and I thought it would be nice to post a guide of sorts to show those who are interested in breeding one way to accomplish it.

These pictures are not from me but are courtesy of www.fatalii.net

First, let's get to know the anatomy of the chile plant flower



The Sigma and Pistol are the female parts of the flower. The Stamens are the male parts of the flower

The next step is to choose the 2 compatiable types you would like to try to cross (I will post a chart below that shows which species are compatiable)

Choose the type you would like to be the female (mother) of your cross. Select an UNOPENED flower from your mother plant. If you wait until the flower is opened, there is a chance that it could have already been pollinated, either by another plant or itself.



Using tweezers, carefully remove the petals from your unopened flower. Sometimes a magnifying glass is needed. This process of removing the petals and stamens is called emasculating.





After all the petals are removed you should see this:



Next, using tweezers, carefully remove all of the stamens. Be extra careful not to damage the stigma or pistol



After all of the stamens are removed you should see this:



You now have a purely female flower.

Next step is to get yourself a q-tip and rub it around the center of the opened flower on your father plant. You then want to take the pollen on the q-tip and transfer it to the pistol of your pure female flower.



***You may want to emasculate more than one unopened flower on your mother plant to increase your chance of success.***

After this is done, you should label or mark the flowers on the female plant with the species you crossed and any other information you may need.

If the cross is successful you should see a pod start to form. if the flower drops off then you will know the cross didn't take. If this happens, it does not mean that the 2 species cannot cross, it just means that it did not take on that particular flower. Don't give up if it doesn't take on the first time.

The following chart shows which species will cross.



If you are lucky and do happen to get a pod from a flower you crossed, you will not be able to tell a difference. The genetic information for the cross is stored inside the seeds of that pod. You would have to harvest those seeds and plant them to see the results of your cross.

I hope this helps answer some questions anybody may have had about breeding chiles.

Thanks for looking,
Vincent
Also, here is a true SB7J pod from this season
