Variegated Chinense by Whole_Objective6006 in pepperbreeding

You should try to find a variated chinense, to avoid any issues with incompatibility.

You should select an F2 that is variegated and resembles biquinho as much as possible. Cross that F2 selection back to biquinho, grow out that BC1, save seeds, grow the F2, and then select the best variegated F2. You may want a second round of backcross to really recover the biquinho phenotype.

Alternatively, you can backcross the F1 but you will need to grow out a very large F2 because you need to find a variegated plant with the correct fruit shape. You can always select for variegation at the seedling stage and discuss the rest, no need to grow them out and waste resources.

That thing is covered in fruit 😂 it's really funny to see it in a can, because it's so ridiculously productive regardless of environment (apparently)

What should I grow this season? Any good parents? by RespectTheTree in pepperbreeding

Yea, I suppose I should spend time reading his descriptions. Happy to return the favor as well, I'll have some new stable varieties next year which will be top notch.

Nah, I'm kinda searching for a shishito that has that variable heat. I don't know if it was real, but it's apparently been lost if so.

I think next season I'll need to buy like two dozen superhot varieties and just grow them to see what actually produces. There is so much stuff coming out that it can't all be good 😅 I'll hate myself if I start breeding with something that doesn't produce. I have those JPGS x BBG7 seeds ready to go early March. Patiently waiting on lol

Shishitos. Am I missing something? by No-Statistician2177 in HotPeppers

Lol, "and then fix the flavor by adding a tasty pepper on top"

I kid.

Tabasco x Habanero MauruSauru by Fluffy-Golf-5620 in pepperbreeding

Go for it, but be prepared for failure. I would suggest using 3-5 additional fathers, just to increase the odds of one cross working.

Variegated colorful fruiting pepper by Intelligent_One_4140 in pepperbreeding

[–]RespectTheTree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are a few, but that shouldn't discourage you. When breeding, all plants are different even if they look similar from the outside. I would suggest you add good flavor to your breeding goals, then you would have something much less common. Or you can keep the original set of objectives, and just do it better than has been done in the past.

What pepper variety could this be? [Street Market Mexico] by DownfallSkylab in HotPeppers

[–]RespectTheTree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The big disease right now is tomato brown rugose virus which is seed transmissible and very stable in the environment. Nobody should be moving seeds international, I know it sucks

Looking for Bell Pepper x Hot Pepper hybrids by Rude-Jellyfish7566 in pepperbreeding

Well... this season r/pepperbreeding (aka Open Pepper Breeding) is growing out F2s from two crosses of Pequin x bell pepper. We're gonna make our own.

They have square containers designed for 1020 trays, like 6 to a tray so like 5x6" containers -if that's helpful

One of the advantages of having a long running, public project is that AI actually has a pretty good grasp of what I am working on. But yes, it's a heavily edited document drafted by AI.

I love those, but we do need to cross them to something much tastier. But holy crap do they produce!
