Let it grow, or just clip off that portion.

By the way, any of those hybrid Yellow Ghost X Thai growing?

Looks to me like you gots a C.chinense crossed with a garter snake.

Can I have some snake seeds (assuming it doesn't crawl off before ripe)?

P.S. Could be a diploid.

P.P.S. I keep telling people that these weird Fuzzy Plaid 7 Bhut Doughlah hybrids aren't stable. So how far are we from the Little Shop of Horrors?

I hate to see healthy plants get pulled. I say keep it. Look at the pods, keep the seeds. Give us a chance to see what it is.

Who knows, it could be the next big chili everyone wants.

I'll keep it going for a bit to see what happens. but it'll be hard to send out seeds if I never get pods. really what's going on is I've come to realize I have 15 more plants than I can reasonably fit in my yard once they're all in their final pots (which is long overdue), and I'm trying to figure out which ones I'm gonna have to get rid of or find a new location for. the weird ones that don't produce pods are obvious candidates for the dumpster.

Josh, unfortunately I couldn't get any to germinate. oh well. can't win them all. I still appreciate the effort.

I'll have to do a test germination to see if the seeds sprout.
I still have lots of dried pods on the table...been throwing them into my bowls of ramen soup.
