Lemon Drop is such a unique flavor , a jalapeno with lemon flavor would be awesome for pickling . but your piri piri lemon drop would be my first choice , waiting for updates , this chilli could be a real game-changer
Shaun, one of my new cross is exactly as you described. I started over 40 seeds and only 1 sprouted. The one that sprouted is look not very healthy and growing weirdly. Hopefully it will be fine.
It's funny how that goes sometimes...but like I mentioned in the video, I think it will feel even more rewarding when it isn't an easy ride! I have a few of your lemon starburst germinated, looking forward to seeing them grow!
Wow, ChilliChump and Khang Starr, the two most influential chaps in my chili pepper education! A year ago I knew nothing about growing peppers. I still don't compared to you two, but I've learned so much from growing many dozens of plants, both indoors and out. A particular chiltepin took 212 days from germination to its first ripe fruit. So often I get blossoms galore but nothing sets, then suddenly everything sets. OTOH, I had a jalapeño produce fruit right from its first blossom, indoors too. IOW, so much still remains a mystery to me. :)
I like the statement of always filming yourself unlocking the padlock to a shed which basically only contains one crossed pepper plant. It's like: "Don't even think about it, Ed"
Absolutely love the update Shaun! I am always super eager to see how this cross is coming along. This is so interesting to me! Can’t wait to see a fully ripened fruit. I am hoping you get some seeds from this plant so you can move on to F2 next season. Thanks a ton for all the time and effort you take in order to share with this community. Stay Safe and Stay Spicy!!!! - v/r Shane
Ohh, that's an interesting choice. I looked them up. They are both baccatum cultivars, right? So F1 hybrids should be "highly fertile" according to the chart on thechileman.org. Interesting! And I have both these types (although my peppadew seeds only touched soil a few days ago). I might try that as well!
Agonising to see all those dropped flowers on the floor - so cool you got some viable peppers though. Plant itself looks incredlbe, the timelapse in the grow tent was so cool to see.
My lemon drop x gochu cross is giving me problems too. I crossed it both ways and the f1 I grew from the gochu pod looked similar to yours. leaves were skinny and mutant pepper looking but it grew out of it and eventually turned into leaves that were kind of fuzzy too. Unfortunately I didn't get any of the f2 seeds to germinate so I think I'm going to have to say goodbye to that cross. The seeds I grew from the lemon drop pods produced similar looking peppers to lemon drop and the f2s have also been very difficult to germinate. I only got one to grow so we'll see what happens. I am considering keeping it in a container this season. F1 pods were very purple where the sun hit them but the gochu saved one completely lost the purple when it ripened to red while the other kept some purple after ripening to yellow. Interesting how similar our crosses came out. Do you know which capsicum your piri piri is? I understand there are fruitesens, chinense and baccatums for them.
Good luck with the genetic lottery in the F2 generation! Sounds like a very interesting cross... I'm sure the fruits will be delicious to you in any case, what with all the hard work you invested!
@ChillieChump I started my first fermentation 4 days ago, thanks in part to you for inspiration. I neglected to add the purple onion to the mix of Golden habaneros, orange bell, carrot, peach, garlic and fresh ground cardamom and cumin seed. Can I add fresh onion at the blend stage? Is it taboo to add it to the existing ferment? What advice can you give?
It will be interesting to see what characteristics you choose through the different generations while this cross stabilizes. Excited for this plant to be out into the world in a few years.
Do you think the interspecific cross is part of the issue with viability? Piri piri is frutescens, so a baccata x frutescens may be a bit more of a stretch than two chinense crossed... I wonder if you tried lemon drop x lemon drop x piri piri, if you get more lively seed set... Do you know if people tend to have a harder time crossing wild types than cultivated? I wanted to play with galapagoense this year but maybe it's not worth the trouble...
This cross was always going to be a challenging one. The two families don't cross too readily. One of the reasons I'm doing it. If you have a look at the video where I started this, I show a chart with a compatibility matrix...I think it is linked in the description too ruclips.net/video/58PJTo_5JNs/видео.html
@@ChilliChump missed the chart the first time around, thanks! No data on pubescens x galapagoense... Funny, that's the one that seemed most interesting to me... but a whole range of possibility opened up by that chart, thanks! I wonder if the phenotypic variety of your F1 is a common result of interspecific crosses...
Galapagoense, and most of the other very rare types have very limited crossing info available. But you will find that they will not cross with other common types very easily, or at all
What kind of photoperiod and NPK are you using when you’re trying to get them to fruit? You’ve inspired me to get my hydro system back up and running but I’ve never tried peppers.
Chillies don't actually have a photoperiod (unlike certain other plants). So you could have the lights on 24 hours a day. However, I set mine to 16/8. NPK requirements vary depending on the stage of growth.
That certainly is an interesting leaf that you are cultivating there Shaun! That tiny red pepper, I wonder if one of your taste testing neighbors would plant some giant rewards to surprise us all? One never knows what a seed cast aside may do. Stay Spicy! -Bob...
Awesome video. Your quality has come a long way, even in the last year. I've been going through your older videos, which are great, but you've really gotten the hang of editing them nicely. You mentioned that you won't even want to try planting seeds from the red pepper, but I'm curious why. You seem pretty confident it's not worth trying, but I don't understand.
Thank you mate! That's kind of you to say. My approach is to improve at least one thing in every video. And over time that all adds up....loads of research, and education, and practice! Regarding your question...that pepper is tiny, like the size of my fingernail. I know the seed size of a Piri Piri and of a lemon drop. If there are seeds in there, they will be way too small...and not very strong, if viable at all. I want strong seeds to start the F2 stage.
@@ChilliChump Thanks for your prompt reply Shaun! Interesting project! I guess you have very little time to be chilling - love your channel - appreciate your commitment! Hope you chili out this weekend!
I grew peppers indoors in Wyoming (it gets cold). I found that temperature and trimming the plant to cause the small peppers. Restrict root growth instead of trimming and try keeping temps in the upper 80s F if you can. That seemed to work for me.
Why dont you take a few cuttings and clone the plant, that way you have a backup plants and you can move them outside later to increase your selection for seed?
I can keep this plant going if I wanted to, don't think a clone is really necessary. But I will likely just harvest a few ripe peppers and use seeds from those. Will see how it goes in the next month or so.
@@ChilliChump we both in IT and in this world there are 2 kinds of people those who backup and those who have never lost data before :) . I wouls be to nervous the mother plant dies before I get seed. Anyway good luck
Lol...my backup is my automation...it's tracking temperature, humidity, water and. Nutrient levels, a camera monitoring leaf movement, all with alerts direct to me via email and Twitter. Overkill...but that's what I consider my backup. And the spare 30 seeds I have from the start of this plant helps out too...just in case!
Very interesting how they are turning out , i also have a cross i started the second generation 2 weeks ago and i already noticed that it inherited a mutation that was present in the first generation, i really like the look of your cross and i hope it does well for you.
Though the content about experimentation with hot peppers is very limited on youtube, I'm very glad you post these videos. Could you maybe do a recipe video where you try some completely new flavor combinations with ingredients you don't often use? Just complete experiments would be really nice to see
I've got a few crosses going myself, I'm more interested in crossing wild species and wild accessions of the cultivated species with cultivated cultivars! I'm interested in seeing what these backcrosses and in some cases new crosses will turn out like! Last year I (hopefully!) crossed Capsicum chacoense with a farmers market jalapeno and a dragons claw, it'll be interesting to see what they turn out like!
Great video! I have a question, I have a ferment of tobasco and Jalapenos going. Mostly all tobascos, some were frozen but most were fresh, a mash mixed with salt only, no water. Used an airlock, been going about 3 months now. It's looked amazing and perfectly healthy up until about a week ago, I noticed a thin layer of what appears to be kahm yeast. My question is can I let it keep going, or should I stop the ferment at this point.
Am following this cross business with interest. Dumb question ...this hybrid plant that you have in solitaire, why can't you clone it about a dozen times and plant them all? Seems like the more of the same plant there are, the better the chance of getting some usable seed.
Hi David, have a look at this video of mine about lights: ruclips.net/video/JJaKYsDxiVI/видео.html I would go with a 16/8 cycle. (8 hours off at night)
Very cool project!! I wish you the best of success and luck! Please keep us updated! LD ist C. baccatum, isn’t it? Which species is Piri Piri? I hope that they are capable of producing fertile offspring. In some cases, you may get sterile plants, when you do interspecies crossing. Did you take that into account? I would love to hear your opinion about this. Have a nice Sunday! Cheers :)
Thank you. Yes I took it into account...that's why I chose these two, to get something unique. The challenge is in getting seeds that can succeed...that's why I had to try around 50 before I got this plant. Next gen should be a bit better though.
hey shaun did you only cross piripiri on an lemendrop or also a lemendrop on piripiri i think that is always very exiting and also they are quite different
Thank you for the update! Really hope the 2 pepers wil grow and have enough seeds to go on. If you move this F1 outside this summer do you expect that the pepers will be a other color?
Try using ladybird larvae to control the aphids. I had outbreaks on my plants when I still grew them and the larvae absolutely decimate the aphid population in short order.
I've always struggled to cross anything with lemon drop- I hear it's just a feature of trying to cross C. baccatum with any other species- they're compatible just fussy!
I just started growing my first few plants in november, but I'm interested to cross a jalapeno with a red bell pepper, because they are both annuum varieties, so the F1 seeds should be easier to germinate and I'm guessing the F1 plants might have less trouble as well. If I had room for hundreds of plants then I would select for a slightly spicy pepper, a little bigger than the average jalapeño, with thick walled sweet flesh and mild enough to eat raw as a snack (I recently tried a green jalapeno raw and it was just a bit more spicy than what I'm comfortable with. I hadn't anticipated on raw vs cooked to make such a big difference 😅) Or maybe I'd cross malawi piquante with habanero and select for taste as I heard they are both great tasting. Although i guess that has a low success rate as they are baccatum and chinense as far as I'm aware.
I'd like to see a Malagueta and a Carl's Grande Jalapeño. Or, a Pasilla Bajio with a Jimmy Nardello. Or, a Mirasol with a kung pao. You might name your hybrid "Piri Sun Drop," depending on its charcateristics in finality.
Hi there, yes I have named it. It is Lemon Piri. Here are some more videos regarding my cross Crossing chillies ruclips.net/video/58PJTo_5JNs/видео.html ruclips.net/video/nnCOLrzDX-0/видео.html ruclips.net/video/xPuAmqvol_c/видео.html ruclips.net/video/245lgzpoT1g/видео.html And the leaves aren't really that tasty of chilli plants.
it'd be cool if it had purple and red peppers that grow on it when it stabilizes. like scotch bonnets. no set colour. you should cross a jalapeno with a moruga scorpion
That would just dilute the process. Always start with two highly stable varieties. And isolate through the generations. I discuss this in the original video a bit.
@@ChilliChump So, it's really just a matter of evolution, then. Makes sense. It sucks that you have to deal with a plant that seems to bearly hang on. I'm excited to see F2 now.
The hydro system is fine. Same setup as my other hydro plants. The wrinkles, and strange characteristics is what happens with early generations of some difficult crosses.
@@ChilliChump , then it is possible that the mutation is associated with the crossing of different subspecies (Capsicum frutescens x Capsicum baccatum)
Absolutely, that's the reason. Some species cross easier than others. I chose these two because it was going to be more of a challenge. As it grows out into further generations and stabilises, it will look a bit more uniform.
That's why I chose these two varieties. I didn't want an easy cross, that anyone could do. Here's the result, F1 ruclips.net/video/245lgzpoT1g/видео.html
I kind of want to see a "Monkey brain" type. Monkey face x Naga Brain Strain. I do not have either of these types myself, nor the energy to cross myself if I did -.-
I can't wait to move on to the 2nd generation of this plant! What chillies would you love to see crossed?
Any chilli would be interesting. I don't have a preference. Nice for you that you have success on your cross
I like the idea of crossing species. A baccatum with a Chinense could be interesting.
Lemon Drop is such a unique flavor , a jalapeno with lemon flavor would be awesome for pickling . but your piri piri lemon drop would be my first choice , waiting for updates , this chilli could be a real game-changer
I wanna see the 2 hottest peppers in the world or maybe a collaborative with smoking edd.
Have you done anything on your drip system and how much you water? Thanks
You are a patient man. I had a blend which grew for two summers without a single fruit, I gave up.
Shaun, one of my new cross is exactly as you described. I started over 40 seeds and only 1 sprouted. The one that sprouted is look not very healthy and growing weirdly. Hopefully it will be fine.

Wow what a strange looking plant! Glad you did an update on this.
Got a Peppadew/Lemon Drop cross going myself. Three peppers pollinated for seeds next season 👍

Ive made my own cross. I asked my wife to move into another bedroom so i can set up another light rig. Very cross...🤣
My chillies stopped dropping flowers/little peppers when I crushed dry eggshells in a blender and added that on top of the soil and watered it.
that time lapse footage @ 2:10 is awesome!!!!
Good job getting this interspecific hybrid this far. It's not easy to cross frutescens with baccatum!

Nothing like a ChilliChump video to start your weekend off on a good note!! My Reapers, Ghosts and Peter Peppers have all intermingled this season
Would you say the peters have been... promiscuous?
This has been a fascinating journey to follow. Can’t wait to see future generations of this cultivar!

You need to make cuttings when you trim back. Generally its spider mites that are the indoor problem. Your chillis look like pimenta de neyder

It's probably so wrinkled because of the irrigation system. Try to plant in pots of soil.
The hydro system is fine. Same setup as my other hydro plants. The wrinkles, and strange characteristics is what happens with early generations of some difficult crosses.
@@ChilliChump , then it is possible that the mutation is associated with the crossing of different subspecies (Capsicum frutescens x Capsicum baccatum)
Absolutely, that's the reason. Some species cross easier than others. I chose these two because it was going to be more of a challenge. As it grows out into further generations and stabilises, it will look a bit more uniform.
@@ChilliChump Thank you and the answer! Previously, I believed that different subspecies could not be crossed. Now I know!.. :))
Have a look at my first video about crossing...should be linked in the description of this video. Will give you a lot more info
Are you in S Africa?
No, in the UK
@@ChilliChump excellent
Hi Shaun, i just sent you a question in your website. Hope you can help me, greetings!!
Hi Nelson, I will take a look when I get a moment
You’re trying to cross a bacctum with a frutescen chili crossing charts say that is going to be hard
That's why I chose these two varieties. I didn't want an easy cross, that anyone could do. Here's the result, F1 ruclips.net/video/245lgzpoT1g/видео.html
I kind of want to see a "Monkey brain" type. Monkey face x Naga Brain Strain. I do not have either of these types myself, nor the energy to cross myself if I did -.-
A lot of people would cross themselves if they came across a monkey-brain-strain!
Hydroponics is old history, investigate the benefits (huge) of Aeroponics.
There are pros and cons to each of the systems...hydro, aero and aquaponics.
why not buy cumari seeds to do your experiments and only order from Brazil the test tube buys yellow seeds ok
Antep aci dolma with a super hot
Ladybugs are aphids natural enemy
They are great for the garden, I'm always collecting them up
Was this a genetic mutation or something, looks like neither parent.
They are two very different species. So crossing them will result in strange anomalies. Which is why I did it
@@ChilliChump Ahhh, the result turned out pretty well in the update video I watched, that gives me lots of hope.
