Why are you being so casual about something so cool? You literally just brought a new pepper into the world. That’s an awesome legacy. Could you do this with other plants like berries? I’d love to see you do this with strawberries and something else.
Probably not unless it was another type of strawberry.
@@BubbleBunnyy yeah I meant like a series of videos documenting his experiment but with just strawberries or blueberries
Awesome video. This looks like it could be really fun and rewarding. Literally a week ago a friend gave me some extra pepper plants. I don’t normally grow peppers. Now I’m neck deep in hot sauce and cross breeding videos. Funny how a small gesture can create so much interest.
This is an amazing video, explained f1 and f2 in a super concise way. Thanks man
I’ve been trying (unsuccessfully) to cross peppers for over a year.
I don’t know why it never occurred to me that I should be trying to pollinate the emasculated flowers for a few days in a row. I’m sure this is the exact reason why my attempts haven’t worked before
I appreciate it!
I am going to try to cross piquins from my late grandma’s house with golden cayenne
I'm glad you saw the video and hope your next attempt sticks! Best of luck and that sounds like a great plant to work with.
I planted F5 seeds of Serrano + banana this year. So far, I have gotten a pretty consistent shape and flavor.
I’ve got 5 F1 poblano + habanero plants now, wish me luck, because they are quite interesting.
Btw, neither was intentional, but I’m invested now.
Plants sure are super cool
hey man something i found to work for a better success rate on seeds. after harvesting your hybrid seeds, let them dry out in the sun for a day or 2. not sure if the UV had some effect on this or if the fact that it dried out completely made the difference but it always allowed my seeds to grow better and germinate quicker
Someone's been taking Eric Knight's advanced capsicum hybridization courses! Well done! So glad to see others out there addressing the details that matter! Always remember that a proper mass sowing/selection workflow is JUST as important as the hybridization itself, as Capsicum can throw up to 4000+ genetic assortments in F2! The issue with culling so aggressively in F2 (due to space constraints or personal selection pressure ) would be the simple fact of eliminating the future potential for interline hybridization and therefore a quicker route to stabilization of any trait you desire for a standard. Especially if you don't mass sow.
Eric Knight 101 for sure. I love it
I actually had an accidental cross grow this year. I don't grow a large variety and since I label my stuff, I knew the mother was a Brazilian Starfish, the fruit had the shape of a Jigsaw, so boom, there it was. I isolated some flowers from it and saved seeds. The peppers o. That plant were very good; hotter like the Jigsaw, but super juicy and fruity up front. I think im going to make a rasperry jam and include a handful of them to kick it up. I also had no idea that F2 was where more of the fun happens. I'll definitely be planting some next year and hoping to get some of that white and purple foliage from the Jigsaw onto a larger plant like the Brazilian Starfish. By the way, Calvin, my tallest Brazilian Starfish plant this year was roughly 8 feet tall! You were surprised by my leaf size last year, maybe the height will wow you this year, haha!
That's great to hear - we also have an accidental hybrid that turned out to be awesome. It was KS white thai crossed with an unknown C. chinense variety (could be scotch bonnet, ghost, or death spiral). The cool part about it was the amazing flavor and aroma - the powder we saved still smells amazing over 1 year later, so going to grow it out again this winter indoors. 8 feet is super impressive, you must have some of that black gold soil where you live!
@PepperGeek that sounds awesome! I really want to try death spiral, I've heard it's really flavorful! All my plants are in pots, so that guy was in a 5 gallon grow bag and I used primarily soil and fertilizer which you recommend!
Probably my favorite video you two have done so far.
That's great to hear, thanks for watching 😊
Great video. Thanks for sharing @PepperGeek
Outstanding video. I love that you provided enough information to get started and carry through how to make your own peppers.
Glad you enjoyed! :)
What a great video! Its very common to have a 20% success rate, so do several crosses. You can't quantify your cross if you DONT emasculate the mother. The paint brush technique will not be a true cross because you leave the anthers on the mother plant.
Last, once you have a successful cross, the work begins to selective breed the traits that you want to be.
This Video has definetly encouraged me to try crossing my own variety. I Plan to Cross a Pepper called 'Trifetti Variegata' known for its White and purple foliage with a 'Bonzi' which is a dwarf variety with heavy branching. I Hope that im able to combine These two traits and grow myself an interesting chilli Bonsai in a few years ...
Found a Black Pearl with Variegated leaves that were pink. I used the pollen from that on a black Hungarian that had completely black calyxes and stems left on the pepper in hoping to achieve the darkest foliage of the black pearl with larger pods like the Hungarian, all while looking for getting the pink variegation back into it. So far the 4 F1s I started has shown me some favourable traits already, but it will be the F2 that I hope to have that variegation back.
Wow sounds incredible! Hope you have great results with F2 🔥
Love it! And props for the planning ahead 😮
Thank you great info & now I'm thinking of a new projects to do over the winter months 👍
Sounds great
That was a great seminar! I would recommend school garden clubs to subscribe to your channel. Keep up the great channel
Awesome thank you!
This is really cool! Excited to see how it goes in the future!
This is such a good video, should have SO many more views. I've learned more from this channel than any other channel on youtube.
Awesome project!
Very cool process!
Thank you for this very informative video which obviously took a long time, appreciate it
Great video! Most of the information was brand new to me and the way you layed it out made it much easier to put into practical terms. I'll definitely give it a go next season.
That's pretty exciting! Thanks for sharing!
Of course! Glad you enjoyed
Great video! Great content! I have a ton of hobbies, watched trillion RUclips videos. Yours are one of the best. I love the planing, the time and effort you put in those videos!
Excellent info as always! Thank you!
Our pleasure!
I got one by accident Dwarf purple piri piri, very nice,
As a hybridizer, i appreciate you taking the time to make a video on pepper breeding.
Great work
I love this. Midwest gardener has a series in which he updates on breeding projects throughout/over the years. Looking forward to updates on this project!
Love the video
great video! can't wait for the next one. keep up the great work!
Thanks! Will do ☺️
Definitely something I want to get into more now that I have some more space. Love the video. Hope your health is doing better too, man.
Just started my F4 Butch T x Moruga scorpion pepper hybrid seeds that sat in the fridge since 2014. These don't look like a scorpion pepper having lost the tail, but boy are they hot! By F3 they were very much a stable hybrid.
Good advice.
hey! Excited to see this video. We have just started a cross between two of our favorite chilies. I watched the chilichump video on how to do it. I like yours as well. You’ve got a lot of great information. We’ll see how our turns out in a few months.🤗
Amazing timing as always. You always seem to upload videos around the same time im researching something. I've been growing for a little while now and have been looking into different methods to start crossing. Especially indoors since my season is short. Thanks for the info!
Great to hear! I think it is best to do your first cross indoors anyways to avoid potential cross pollination issues outside. Hope you have fun with your first project!
if you leave the petals on and you hand polinate the open flowers, if they have been successfully polinated the flower will close its petals its a sure way to be sure they polinate
Im growing my first 4 crosses this year, all of them has Chinese 5 Color as mother plant.
I crossed it with Apache, Black Cobra(Goats Weed), Spaghetti and last but not least Habanero. They are all growing and im looking forward to the summer hits Denmark✌️🇩🇰🇫🇴
I just realized that I cross pollinated my Jalepeno, sprouted from a grocery store pepper with an adjacent habanero plant. At first the Jalapenos were red, now, they have turned orange instead. I have not tried them yet see if they taste different. But, I love the orange color and this was my first season growing Habaneros ....and love them!
jalapeños can be orange but thats cool
Nice and informative video, and congratulations to what seems like a, so far, stunning variety! 🥳
Thank you! Can't wait to see where it goes from here. I may also go back and re-plant F2 so that I can grow out a larger sample size and find the very best genes to carry forward.
@@PepperGeekLooking forward to that video 😄Experimenting is so much fun! 🧑🔬
Now I wan't to create my own chili variety! 2024 is only my second year with only a tiny garden, maybe I should wait a little longer. But I adore the Trinidad Perfume and would probably crossbreed that one!
Great video!
Just started this with an Aleppo/hungarian wax cross.
Interesting stuff. Great explanation!
Thank you!
This is a great video.
great video, super conprehensive! The part where about 25% of the seedlings were variagated blew my mind. I had learned about it in biology class, but seeing it play out was must have been really cool
Luv it, another great informational. Recently harvested F-2 seeds on one experiment and several F-1 seeds from this seasons crosses. Pollinating a Bonchi Ghost/Reaper within the next 24 hours. Fun site you two.
So cool!!!
Love them videos…I had an accidental cross last year with my aji charapitas about to replant seeds and see what we get…..
That's a great way to start crossbreeding 🤪
Great info, just what the grower ordered. I have a habanero plant that has several green pods that look more like a ghost. pepper. Both plants were growing in close proximity. Mother nature maybe? We had more bees around this year. Getting ready for the next phase of learning, thanks. The best to you and yours.
so very cool! if i could just grow peppers lol this could be fun.
Looks like so much fun. Have most hot peppers been crossed? Is there much left to experiment with?
You also need to start with stable (P)arent generation plants. Mendel started with peas that bred pure in his work.
Great video I've been thinking of trying my own cross now just gotta decide which ones
That's a fun part of the process, envisioning your future creation!
Letting nature do its thing; this year I ended up with an orange popblano. Sweeter than a red bell, but with the kick somewhere between a jalapeño and serano. Probably the best overall tasting pepper I've ever had. Sadly, I didn't follow any of the isolation methods and it will likely never be experienced again.
Side note: You could keep a few indoors to keep building your hybrid, while also growing some outdoors to get an idea of how the plant performs in the real world with each generation.
💚👍Great information, Thanks!!
I'm not sure, but I might try crossbreeding a sugar rush with an early jalapeno. Sugar rushes take forever to ripen, so my thought process is breeding it with an early jalapeno might quicken the process. Also, I know there's already a "striped jalapeno" out there, but a sweeter version, and my own, would be pretty cool.
I think an appropriate follow up video is methods and substances that create random mutations in peppers for the home gardener. Now THAT would be cool.
I'm a beginner and I went straight into crossbreeding a Habanero with a Cayenne with zero planning (both plants indoors). I'm really surprised the hybrid actually managed to produce some pods. The foliage is pretty dark and for some reason, the peppers are really small and are growing upwards. I wonder what the flavor is gonna be when they ripen.
I must be super lucky that the cross pollination even worked in the first place.
Great
Thank you! You made myreasurch so much easer! I am on a mission to make a great Hotsauce company
I get there must be difficulties in doing this but this is way easier than I expected it to be. Might try this in the next year or so when im set up at home is ready for it
this video is so great and interesting i gave a like comment and i subbed. nice one!
Appreciate it, welcome :)
Very cool video! Very well explained and put together, and lot of work but cool that you showed multiple generations in the one video. Might have to start playing myself i think 🤔
I hope you do, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
Awesome video!
Looking through me seeds for 2024 I have Mattapeno F6 seeds and ChiliChump CC Jalapeno seeds. A Jalapeno ChiliChump sized with Mattapeno variegation might be pretty cool. I might have to try that.
I agree, a bigger, more vigorous mattapeño type plant would be incredible
I would love a Ring of Fire / Biquinho cross. Love the crisp/crunch of the Biquinho but it matures all in one go late season whilst the ROF is pickable green very early so it has a good long picking season and then want some heat in my Biquinho - Would that work?
It could work - biquinho is C. Chinense while ring of fire is C. annuum, but those two species can cross. You might end up with a really unique flavor too!
In the first table that is showed do the letters mean anything special? When you breed two of the same it says HF, but when crossbreeding it can give "PF","IV","NG" and more. What does this mean?
"Cross-breeding peppers is a very long process. You'll need some patience if you want to create your own hybrid pepper." Orchid hybridizer here laughing my ass off.
Great video, might just try to cross some of my more vigorous growers with the ones I like the taste of better.
I have f1 genaration how should i make seeds by them?
so I just found out you can crossbreed peppers and I am going to start tomorrow and my goal is the most spiciest pepper of them all
Would like more follow up, if you’re continuing the project.
Thanks. Do you know if would be a similar process to cross breed Ti plants?
Thanks for this video. I tried this method, about 2 months ago when I first watched this video. Waiting for my peppers to ripen to harvest and plant the seeds. Funny, lots of articles say you need to dry the seeds before planting, but I notice you didn't. Does it really make a difference?
Awesome, I am crossing for production Aji Orange with Jumbo Jalapenio for size.
Sounds great, the flavor should be very interesting between those two as well.
This is awesome- can't wait to try this myself. Also, what soil mix do you use to plant your chilli peppers in?
Dope🔥
I love crossing plants, it's so exciting and satisfying and I think those two emotions make life worth living! That got deep quickly, right?!
P.s. Off topic to this video but I know you like tyo experiment, did you by any chance do one with home made fertilizers? Like nettle tea for nitrogen and banana peal tea for flowering? I am so curious about how this work in comparison to store bought fertilizers. This is going to be my first season growing plenty of peppers and I'm making nettle tea at the moment in 3 1,5 liter bottles (I managed to find nettle few days before first frost, lol. I'm good at luck!) And banana peals are constant in my house, so, it's gonna be easy.
We're starting our attempt at crossing dragons breath and reaper. Love your explanation. Great video
Good luck! Sounds hot
Hi, great video! Is it the same with a tomatoes?
Awesome video as usual. One question though. What was the heat level of your F2 generation? Also what kind of flavor, texture, etc. Thanks for doing these videos I am a big fan.
It mostly just requires your attention and some patience! Super rewarding when your first hybrid sticks and you realize that it worked. Hope you have fun with it.
I haven’t watched this video yet but I wanted to chime in on an easier novice breeding project for those who want there own pepper variety. Grow all sorts of same species (or multiple species just grow the same species in their own clusters) peppers. Choose your favorite peppers. You can mix hot and mild or go with just your favoite heat level. Save seeds from the best growing plants. If a poor growing plant has a desirable trait you want to preserve save those too. Be sure to grow plants near by that attract pollinators. Native plants in your area are great for that.
Every year start your saved seeds and repeat process. Save the best performers, the plants that adapt to your climate the best. Save a better tasting pepper over a bad flavor but stick to the best growers unless you got an ideal flavor on a poor performing plant. I tend to select heavy yielders the first year. Next year I move to stressing plants. Less water or subject them to colder weather or select the high yielders after temps cool down. The third year select for another trait or a different stress that is common in your climate. Eventually you will have the ideal pepper for your climate with some traits you pushed. It’s easy, the pollinators pick your crosses for you so what ever plants are more favorable to your native plenaries will father more babies. You can also overwinter that perfect hybrid that was ideal in every way so it can father the next generation or be the mother plant for the generations pollen. You can just go fully hands off and only pick volunteers.. that will make a landrace. Or you can be hands on and have input on the ideal variety for you and your climate. Not sure how many generations it will take to make a stable variety but it’s fun and easy. I will watch the video after my nightly favorite livestream ends. I love your videos because I love breeding peppers and love seeing what you do.
Tried to go to your website to get some information there were so many ad pop-ups that couldn’t even read
So generally you pick the pepper that has the best traits and replant and repeat.. what about re pollinating the flowers on the next generation? Would that not speed up the trait you’re trying to achieve?
Do you have to keep chinense with chinense or can you cross different types?
Total noob here. How do you keep your plants so small? Just leave them in a smaller pot? Trim some of the foliage? Also, thanks for the chart, so useful.
Can pollean from flowers can be stored longer time or they have kind of due date? To cross breed peppers which are not flowering at the same time. 🤔
Great Video. Where did you get the chart used at 1:56? I can't find it.
ive wanted to cross hot lemon pepper with sunset peach pepper for a long time.
Sounds like a great combo
Would collecting seeds from chillis grown on plants with intentionally restricted growth (pot size, temperatures, etc) like in the video affect the size of future generations?
I understand that not allowing the plant grow to its natural size would prevent knowing things of that hybrid like yield size, plant size etc.
After seeing this I think im going to try. Is there a way to tell which pepper will be dominate with or does each new plant have different characteristics? Just trying to get a better understanding. Thank you
Not really. I have heard that the “mother” plant you choose can carry forward its plant vigor more than the father, but this is mostly anecdotal as far as I know
Da bekommt man ja gleich Lust das mal auszuprobieren. 🤔
Do ittt
I'm wondering something. Could you cross-breed peppers by grafting as well as cross pollenating?
You bit into that new pepper and didn't show any pain, did the carolina reaper pepper not transfer its spicy traits?
Hey can I ask your advice, how would you go about attempting to create something like Habenada? Can't seem to find seeds here in Australia, figure it would be a good project to try and create a heatless/low heat habenero. What varieties would you start with do you reckon?
@davidm3997 thank you, I did actually manage to source the habanada from hippy seeds, planted them a few days ago so fingers crossed 🤞
Sorry if you’ve covered this in a video but I was wondering if it’s okay to let last seasons pepper plant roots decay in the off season? Or should i pull them out. I heard that it’s good practice for some plants but not all
It’s okay to let them break down, but they usually aren’t fully decomposed by the following spring. Shouldn’t hinder other plants growth though if you wanted to take the easier route
@@PepperGeek awesome thank you so much
I have Bells of different colors which I don't want to cross pollinate but have little yard room. How can I keep from crossing?
Cover unopened flowers with organza bags or similar to keep pollinators off flowers. Take the bags off after the fruits begin to swell, mark the fruits, wait for ripening, then harvest the seeds
thank you for the great video, I tried crossing once but the flowers fell off, I pollinated only once, next time I will try it for a few days - news for me, I tried to cross Thunder Mountain Longhorn and Jalapeno Multicolor, I would like to have Thunder Mountain Longhorn Multicolor :-D
That would be amazing. What's neat is that you can probably get _exactly_ what you're looking for if you have enough space to grow lots of F2 plants, and lots of time to grow out all the future generations. Good luck!
So I have a question. If you make a hybrid pepper and make sure it's fully stable can you make a second hybrid pepper with that new one mixed with one of the original parents to make a completely different one or would that not make a difference?
Mixing it with one of the originals will probably make your plant more similar to them and could erase some characteristics you obtained,
Nice job. I don't think you'll get the end result you hope for with Ninfadora as a parent. You'll get the foliage, but unlikely to get the pod size you're aiming for.
So far, definitely seems to be true. I may go back and re-plant F2 to grow out a larger sample size of plants to see if any stand out as larger going into F3.
