The master of cross breeding peppers ! You are THE BEST ! I have grafted and crossed my own varieties this season from your tips. Thanks and keep em coming !
How do you make them so lush and bushy? I'm new to pepper growing. Someone gave me some weird looking peppers that they got from an old hispanic friend. He said they were ghost peppers but they didn't look like ghost peppers to me. So, I finally got around to growing some. Planted four seeds and three came up. This was back in April. Here it is September and still no flowering and not bushy yet.
Salut, Great Advice! Yes, those odd looking fruits among the more ordinary are more fun to select! ....the eye appeal, shape coupled with the variant colour does add to the overall satisfaction of creating and ultimately stabilizing a crossbreed! I pray you and your family are well, sending good cheer and ample blessings to you and all of yours!
To grow several generations of the child seeds until the child peppers have consistent or “stable” characteristics. The first few generations have quite a bit of variance and won’t necessarily match up exactly with the original hybrid parent fruit
If you get seeds from a pepper that are a cross breed between two varieties, those seeds will tend to NOT produce the same pepper traits as itself but instead can have traits that revert back to one of the parents, in an unstable, unpredictable way. Stabilizing means to grow several generations, selecting those whose traits are not reverting to those of a parent, so you get a new variety.
The guy who made the reaper said he personally goes out into the fields and searches for the best peppers to get seeds from, it’s how he made the reaper !

Sweet. Im going to try my hand at this. I have a zebrange and an aji white lighting im going to try to hybridize the over the winter.
awesome little round pods!
So you pick the fruit with the desired traits and keep regrowing that seed until its consistently growing what you want?
Fascinating, how the Fruits look so different on the same Plant.🌶
TFS KS, & take care too everyone. ❤🙂🐶
Thank you, KS, for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for your videos.
Such a pleasure and inspiration 😊
Cheers from France
These indoor rigs are cool. I'm doing tiny tom (tim) tomatos like this.

How do I grow indoors? Is there any videos on that?
What is that? Those pods are so cool!
What does it mean to "stabilize" a hybrid?
To grow several generations of the child seeds until the child peppers have consistent or “stable” characteristics. The first few generations have quite a bit of variance and won’t necessarily match up exactly with the original hybrid parent fruit
To grow it for 8 generations so most of it alleles are homozygous

Looking good Khang
Cool! That a round Starrling ?
This is a Sweet QueeNhi.
I am struggling with keeping my plant short. I am using the sprout and just can’t keep them short. Any help would be appreciated. Thank.
Could be too little light or needs topping
Low light, genetics and or high temperatures
great video , think I need more space in the house :-)
so interesting.

The guy who "made the reaper".. didn't..
