this is side project I am keeping away from my ghost peppers, its a hybrid I made and is currently flowering and producing pollen, it hopefully will be competing with the current world record holder, I will get a good idea in about 45 days if it took



I have large hands, and lets just say this is highly unusual large leaves, means it is happy






I got 8 seeds from my hybrid, this is 1 of three, I brought them indoors for the night because of low temps, being careful to keep it isolated from other flowering plants, that's why its in front of my loading bench

So do you use a q-tip and do the bee's pollination work?

I use an sonic toothbrush with a wire extension and makeup applicator tip

here it is in action, not the biggest pollen dump but you get the picture of hand pollenating, I did it from the top to show the pollen
