im down with the peppers too!! picked up my love for them and for growing them from my grandfather... (the greatest pepper grower i know:-P)

im going light on the chilis this year... had WAY too many tabasco and habanero last year.... limiting this year to some yellow peter pepper, some more tabascos (since they came back from last years stump:clap:), some hot banana (hugarian wax i believe), and an unknown birdeye variety i saved from grandpa's house last year....

doin plenty sweet peppers too... not too sure what kind though, except for the sweet banana peppers... love those guys.

+rep for the long pepper posts; and good luck with the seed company... i'll be following, and may be able to gift you with some southern US peppers that you may not be able to find there

Since its not illegal I guess we can trade all we want ??? - if thats the case..... then my HYBRID BHUTs when they come will be killer and will increase some heat in some sweet peppers to useing the BHUTs genes with say your fav Banana peppers ! that would be intresting....

My next chase is rare and hot ASIAN peppers...
&&&

and I really want the HOT LEMON ;

AJI LIMON / HOT LEMON
c. baccatum

Peru
Hot and fruity with delicious citrus flavours.
Great in salsa.



Heat: 7 - 8
Chilli Size: 6 cm
Matures:
green to bright yellow











How is your tabasco - I will grow them but is such a common strain! if I was to grow it would be to cross....
I will be looking for rare and HOT varieties !
the hot banana I want as well.......

that is a HUGE subject big fella !!!! HUGE!!!!!!! Best to get a bonsi book ... with old and new tech`s off ebay or amizon books ! !

2 pieces of advise I was given moons ago !

1. Use superthrive alot ! (Or any auxin with root development PGR`s)
2. and stick to tru old saying (for any plant but bonsi inparticular !)
"feed the soil not the plant !"

yes, i imagine we can trade all we want in this subject.... which sparks a new idea for me... im gonna talk to the other powers that be about having a vegetable seed swap sub forum in the gardening section.... i think that would be a wonderful addition...

i wasnt talking about the tabascos per-say... i could give you some of the unknown birdeye seeds..... i only got 3peppers off the whole lil plant, but she has been inside all winter, so time for round 2 off her:-P... i was talking more along the lines of some southern US strains that you would be hard pressed to find for sale... dont have any to offer at the moment, but i am looking for myself, and will keep you in mind if i find anything of interest...

now about the crossbreeding of peppers... i have the understanding that it is alot of work, seeing as peppers are self-pollinating... care to elaborate a little???

Cross a chilli plant (Hybridisation):fire:
A chile seed (like any other seed) is the mature ovule of a plant. It contains all the genetic material, and stored energy, to grow into a plant (potentially) displaying the same traits as its parent. However, hybridisation (cross-pollination between chile varieties), introduces new and different genetic material and the effects of this hybridisation can be seen in the next, and future, generations. Seeds identified, and sold, as `F1` hybrids identify first generation hybrids. Avoid saving seeds from these plants since the only predictable characteristic of the second generation is that - you cant predict it!

Almost all known species of chile plants will self-pollinating.
However, with the aid of insects and human intervention, they are also very promiscuous - readily cross pollinating with other species of chile. This cross pollination may result in viable seed. Cross pollination within the same species is almost certain to result in viable, and very vigorous, hybrids. (human intervention- brush technique grab a toothpick and just rub on all flowers of one and then a few flowers of the other .... repeat everyday for a week or two)

The following chart identifies the general rule for outcome of cross pollination between the species of the domesticated chile: -

Male/female _C. Annuum_ C. Baccatum_ C. Chinense_ C. Frutescens_ C.Pubescens
C. Annuum -- -Prolific -----Sporadic ----Prolific -------Sporadic --------Not At All
C. Baccatum - Sporadic ---Prolific ----- Sporadic -----Sporadic --------Not At All
C. Chinense -- Prolific -----Sporadic ----Prolific -------Sporadic --------Not At All
C. Frutescens -Sporadic --Sporadic -----Sporadic -----Prolific ----------Not At All
C.Pubescens --Not At All -- Not At All ---Not At All -- -Not At All ----- -Prolific





The most common Capsicum species, Annuum crosses prolifically with Chinense, sporadically with Baccatum and Frutescens but will not cross with Pubescens. Capsicum Pubescens will not generally cross with any other species, so in theory all seeds produced by a Pubescens species in a mixed garden will be 'true' and viable.

If you are planning to save seeds from a chile plant, and wish to it to have the same features as the parent, then you need to ensure: -

- That the donor plant is not itself a hybrid, - That the plant is isolated (specifically the flowers) to prevent wind-borne, or insect-borne, cross pollination.

This is especially important for commercial purposes, where you have the ability to offend all your customers! Not only does uncontrolled hybridization produce unpreditcable characteristics in future generations - it may also produce sterile hybrids, and/or non-viable seeds.

:fire:People’s Choice Chili Smack-down Contest Information:fire:
SPITFIRE CHILLI SEEDS is sponsoring a People’s Choice Chili Smack-down contest.
Participation or lack there-of will not count in the results of the spitfire seeds sanctioned grilling/chilli contest.
Chili is defined as whatever the contestant determines it to be. Chili can be composed of meat, fish, fowl, vegetables, grain, fruit, candy or any combination thereof. If the competitor calls it chili, we call it chili.
Chili does not have to be cooked on site, but proper heating, cooling and storage of food must be maintained. Chili must be maintained below 40 F or above 140 F. Please be sure to use a thermometer to check your food temperatures at all times. Proper handling of food is required. Food safe vinyl or latex gloves must be worn when handling food.
You may submit more than one entry of chili.
Contestants must provide a minimum of one (1) gallon of chili for judging. Two (2) gallons is suggested. Remember this is a “people’s choice” event, so the more people who get to taste your Chili the better your chances of winning! See rule number 9 for more information.
Contestants must provide two (2) serving utensils for each chili entered. We will TRY to get them back to you, but please assume that you have donated them to the contest.
The Spitfire seed company will provide a chaffing dish and sternos for your Chili submission. If your chili is to remain chilled, please notify us in advance so that ice may be provided.
Judging will be by “people’s choice” only. There will be no judges for this event. Winners will be determined by the number of “votes” each Chili receives.
Please come up with a catchy name and description of your Chili.
This event is free to enter.
There is a $10 per person for the public and team members to eat unlimited amounts of Chili; well it’s unlimited until it’s gone. Once it runs out that’s the end. See rule number 4 for more information. (The fee will be waived to one (1) team member if the team submits a chili for judging.)
Chili must be submitted and ready for sampling (heated, cooled, etc) by 1:00 PM. There will be volunteers available to help you get this ready.
The People’s Choice Chili Smack-down voting ends at 4:00 pm. All votes must be submitted by 4:00 pm.
There will be a $100 prize awarded to the contestant whose Chili receives the most votes.
Trophies will be awarded in 1st to 3rd places in The People’s Choice Chili Smack-down.
The rules are designed to be fair and equal to all cookers. Integrity of the chief cook, assistant, contest representatives, all participants and organizers is essential. All decisions of the contest organizer are final. There is no appeal to any other body.
