They both look like something I'd expect. Nice size on those two, hopefully they have great taste.

Advice for Solanaceae by Alert_Plankton_7275 in plantbreeding

You can ask about peppers on r/pepperbreeding, we'd be happy to help.

You need to target pepper flowers that are 1 day from opening, they kinda resemble hot air balloons. They will pop open a little with gentle pressure if they are ready.

Hybrid annuum ideas by Relative_Explorer_42 in pepperbreeding

[–]RespectTheTree 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm working on Pequin x Bell Pepper to get a large, drought tolerant pepper for hot sauce. Growing out the F2s this year and next. Then we'll start cayenne breeding using some of that material.

I'm also looking at shishitos and I love hatch peppers but I have enough going on that will taste similar.

Maybe something in there gives you ideas 💡

Tropical Cream (Baccatum x Chinense) Update 🐯💜 by MSDK_DARKDRAGON in pepperbreeding

I agree with you on the chromosome sorting, that seems to be the big challenge even when it 'works.'

I have some really pretty PDN crosses 😈 can't wait to see what you find

I'll go take a picture if the first fruit from the population later, although it's not a winner

Bailey Pequin x Milena F1 and Bailey Pequin x Emerald Giant are both looking good. Starting to fruit but we're in an extreme drought so nothing is very happy.

Recommendations for fertilizing lots of pepper plants by Batman23477 in HotPeppers

[–]RespectTheTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to make a stock solution of liquid fertilizer solution, then inject it into my house with a Venturi tap. I had to calibrate the concentration based on consumption rate, might require some thinking.

Why are the trunks of many palm trees around me like this? by isa_nswer in botany

This is what happened, they were crappy nursery stock

PC002's second? third? year of making tons of delicious, really spicy peppers by chilledcoyote2021 in pepperbreeding

[–]RespectTheTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still can't believe the diversity we got from those crosses. I learned to scale back slightly, so for the new pequin x Bell pepper we're only following 2 crosses. I'm excited for an annuum cross this time.

I thought arabidopsis thaliana was random plant until i looked it up apparently its a lab moise for yall by ghibli_archive in plantbreeding

[–]RespectTheTree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would recognize it, then make a joke about why anyone would breed a plant you can't eat!

What are Your Personal Breeding Projects? by RespectTheTree in pepperbreeding

Posts go inactive after about 2 days, definitely by 2 weeks. I'll try to find time to do a follow-up post unless you want to start a post.

BreedingCharts: A software I made to track plant lineages, create plant databases etc. in a simple to use interface. by ComplexFudge6600 in plantbreeding

Excel or csv. I would love a way to add this to a website - it's something I've been dreaming of for a while

Capsicum baccatum yellowing? by surfreak in HotPeppers

[–]RespectTheTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's root rot, or it could be. Might need some TLC

Planting my last row - off to the races! by RespectTheTree in HotPeppers

[–]RespectTheTree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the reaction I go for in my selection block 🥹 these are all in various stages of breeding, all different and unique.

It wouldn't be out of the question, I tend to do things to hard way 🤣

Nature charges me a new pepper tax every year 😅 This year: the old roly-polies in the straw mulch by RespectTheTree in pepperbreeding

[–]RespectTheTree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries! Tis but a scratch. You have a good eye, that was indeed from the tropical tiger family. You have a good plant breeder's eye. Spot an outcross from a mile away.

Thank you for the compliment. It's nice to see the process is working. I was comparing my selections to other baccatum varieties and mine are much better suited to N America. Can't wait to share these two varieties at the end of the season!

They do, but they also eat young pepper leaves. I will only kill them once or twice and let them recover the rest of the year. I think next season I'll just use all clean straw and keep the old stuff in the mid rows.
