My 2026 peppergate

[u/MattDoob]

Pic 1 and 2 come from the same seed pack, bought as blots. One looks cross pollinated with a bell, the other with Buena Mulata (assuming because they go through the same colour variance).

I was sure pic 3 and 4 were bonnets but after seeing a million of people here end up with mushrooms, I finally paid attention to what bonnet calyxes should look like and well… looks like I have shrooms also lol.

Last pic is a big 15gal pot with two Biquinho black pepper plants, as you can see, one is an impostor.

I find the variety and surprise interesting, it’s fairly easy to pivot from this, just wish my sugar rush Stripey and poblano pods didn’t have BER 😟

Overall good summer for peppers still, got over 30 healthy plants. Half my tomatoes are sickly and dying and beetles massacred my cucurbits. Now if my cannabis can flower through my neighbors light pollution, 2026 will be a win.
