Super curious. I had some datils (almost the same flavor profile, but maybe a little bit stronger and as hot as a habanero) and some chocolate habaneros. One savory and one lemony flavor, I wonder if it could even taste bad together. I'll find out next year
Shaun, this is amazing. I am so glad you finally got a ripe pepper from your plants. This has been a highly anticipated video for me. I can’t wait to see how this develops in F2. Thank you so much for sharing. AWESOME!!!
So glad to see you taste your creation. Hopefully the next generations will turn out even better! Think I might give it a try too in one of the next growing seasons.
I planted cayenne pepper seeds December 2020 after watching your channel .today I got to taste a ripe one for the first time it was lovely so can only imagine how you feel. Thanks again for inspiring me. Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪. Lekker 😁
I use the Aji pineapple as a pickle and then I used the Aji pineapple with the Mrs Balls Peach chutney with dried peach, apple, mango and. Its bang on. Can't believe I have watched you for more than two years now.
I am 14 and been watching your whole journey for this cross. I have some crosses of my own I wanna make 😍. I'll definitely try to buy some seeds in the future.
Congrats! It’s so exciting to finally find out how your X turned out! I know how you feel. I hybridized daylilies for quite some time. it took 2 years from cross to bloom to see if I ended up with a beauty or a ho hum.
Success!! Congratulations, I've been following your journey for the past 18 months and the Lemon Piri updates were always the part I looked forward to the most. So happy for you!
Got some Peri Peri sauce after watching your channel and your love of it. It's definitely an acquired taste but finding I like it on different things than the traditional recipes I've seen for it. For example I'm lining it on stir fry. Medium really burns the lips though ❤️🔥
Which one did you get? You get hundreds of different Piri Piri sauces.... Some better than others! But should have some commonalties, especially with the type of burn
@@ChilliChump I got Nando's. Apparently it's a restaurant of some kind in Britain? A recipe I followed had a quote about cheeky Nando's but it was so full of slang I had no idea what it was saying 😂 If it wasn't for your videos I probably wouldn't have even hear of peri peri here in the states. Has a good slow burn.
Congrats, mine was a bust. I had seeds last year. This year only one plant that grew. But it was horribly mutated and grew 0 flowers. Hardly any hight either. Better luck next time.
Always been really interested in doing my own hybrids. Only have a small PVC greenhouse that can house about 4 plants so it's not very practical, but definitely something I will do in the future! - Well done on getting some chillies from it :D Hopefully next year the F2 will be even more fruitful!
Sorry, I thought Id put this out before watching. Looked like the thumbnail was Birdseye and cheese. I reckon chilli and cheese is an awesome combo. You should release a chilli cheese brand man :) Will watch the rest of the vid. I ... Wait. I should release the thing lol. Disregard my comments except Hello
Too bad this pod wasn't isolated. Considering the amount of flowerdrop this plant had gone through, it might be a while until you have another ripe pod. Maybe you could isolate more flowers to increase the chance of getting a ripe pod with seeds you can try to grow for a next generation plant. And I'd grow at least 3 or 4 different plants from those. After all, there is no guarantee the seeds from a ripe pod from this plant will even germinate or that the plants will produce flowers. I think 2 seeds from a pod from this plant may even grow differently, right? Good luck! Exiting to see some progress! By the way, my second batch of ferments is bubbling away nicely and still smell fresh after almost 2 weeks. This time I used some oxheart (or pointed?) cabbage to keep the peppers under the surface of the brine. And I also made the brine using boiling water and I put the brine in the jars while they were still hot after sterilising, and then let then cool down with the lid on, before adding the peppers, to reduce the chance of any nasties getting into the jars.
@@ChilliChump Awesome! I wonder why they didn't ripen before then.? I wish I had more space. Really envy the look of those greenhouses hehe 😅 Good luck!
Perri Perri is delicious! I tried first time from a sauce(Chilli Master) Ed(Puckerbutt) sent me! I was not disappointed! Flavorful but lacked a punch, but for non chilli heads it would have been excellent!
Glad to see it come to fruition. I have 6 rare chilis together in a half size pallot box. Heat range from 1 to 10. We do get some bees and stuff. What is the chance they naturally cross pollinated? I am curius i it's worth sprouting some of the seeds for next year?
@@ChilliChump Maybe not so rare as Galapagose island peppers, but some: Aji Cereza, Marron de Fabrica, Aribibbi Gusano, Aji Charapita, Billygoat, and another upward growing long yellow one.
Does going from F1 to F2, F2 to F3... involve some cross polination between different flowers/plants or are these just the next generation from self-pollinated flowers?
I wonder if it may have been different if you used the Aji as the host (female) to start with but I reckon you kinda did the Piri piri pollenation on purpose? Curious how different it may have been the other way around :)
@ChilliChump: Great video. I'm happy you finally got your hybrid to set fruit. Where did you get that chilli breeding cross-tabel with possible hybridisations between families? And is the claims accurate? Just bought a so-called 'Hardy chilli' (C. Flexuosum) that can withstand minus degrees, and I was hoping to make some hybrids that can more suitable for the cold north. Capsicum Flexuosum is not listed in the table though.. Btw, your chilli should be named ChilliChump Piri Drop instead of Lemon Piri, since it's not yellow or lemony
Yes the table is accurate. Have a look at my original video where I created this cross. There are some links there that will be useful for you in the description.
@@ChilliChump Thanks you for the information of the source. I tracked down the original article and searched for newer findings on the topic of capsicum hybridization. I found a completely fresh article (not even peer reviewed yet) on the reproductive compatibility in capsicum. The article is written by Catherine Parry et al. and is called 'Reproductive Compatibility in Capsicum is not Reflected in Genetic or Phenotypic Similarity Between Species Complexes', if you're interested :) The article can be found on researchgate
Looks, interesting, very interested to see how it grows out, have you any other crosses in the pipeline? I got my first F1 this year, I had a bit more luck with the plant than you, was very quick, however the chillies are very 'meh', with the variation you can get in f2 I might grow out again, not decided yet.
How’s this going now CC?? Have to say I love the mix you’ve choosen!! Peri peri has to be one of the best for everything. Love lemon but the soap flavour is so bad. Have you considered likes of areogarden for indoor too speed along your generations?
Its going well. I have put out a few more videos with updates on it. I am growing out the 2nd generation at the moment (F2). It will be easier to grow out as it moves further through the generations!
@@ChilliChump I’ll need to check out your update, found this one by accident lol when looking for cherry cherry peri. Hope it’s going well!! Look forward to seeing it further down line. Thanks for the response btw CC
Just think its strange they get so small when both of the others are much bigger anyway Big! congrats with your project "will call you chilli shaun or how its spelled from now on :D and some emotes 🔥❤️💚❤️🔥
The F1 germinates normally....but isn't highly fertile....or even partially fertile in general. So initial seeds were easy to germinate, but getting fruit...and then seeds that will germinate well at f2, that's where it gets really difficult. The species will depend on what the final F7 traits are like.
You should think more how animal hybrids are named because in the naming of the new breed the farther comes first in the naming rights i.e. a pizzly bear is a mother grizzly with a polar bear father which could make these a Piri drop/lemon Piri depending on which breed was the mother plant
You need to keep isolating the chilli. I am sure I explained that in the original video. Chillies can self pollinate, so you need to ensure that happens...for 7 generations
2 years in the making! Finally I have a ripe chilli to try. Looking forward to see how this progresses in the next few generations.
Super curious. I had some datils (almost the same flavor profile, but maybe a little bit stronger and as hot as a habanero) and some chocolate habaneros. One savory and one lemony flavor, I wonder if it could even taste bad together. I'll find out next year
That was a pretty infertile plant. Great to finally see a chilli!
Well done chump!
Found it. :) Thank you.
This chili got the cutest name and aesthetic
Shaun, this is amazing. I am so glad you finally got a ripe pepper from your plants. This has been a highly anticipated video for me. I can’t wait to see how this develops in F2. Thank you so much for sharing. AWESOME!!!
Finally! Congratulations on your new "baby". Good name for it...
There’s nothing like farming a plant and tasting the fruits of your labor. That’s straight from the heart.👍. Thanks and keep growing!!!
GOALS!
Thank you!! You are showing me what is possible, and how wide open things are. I’m so happy for you! This is outstanding to watch!
Pretty cool, dude. Thanks for actually following up on your previous video
I love how this chilli ended up looking exactly like the emoji in the video title!
Congratulations...your signature
Congratulations! Very cool.
Good job😊❤️
Well done man. Finally. It's great to see you got it so nice.
Thanks Gerhard!
Proud Dad moment.
Aww I hoped it would be called Peri Drop
Ive remember you creating your own glasshouse, then the tunnel. Now im watching u tasting your own pepper. Yesss man
I'm prepping a jar of Serrano + Lemon Drop to ferment as I wait for this video!
looking forward to seeing the next generation.
Me too Kevin!
LEMON DROP IS MY FAVORITE PEPPER.
Congratulations! I’m very happy for you . I’ve been watching the progress on this close .
I’m definitely waiting in line for the seeds .
Fantastic work!! Absolutely stunning 😍
So glad to see you taste your creation. Hopefully the next generations will turn out even better!
Think I might give it a try too in one of the next growing seasons.
Small indoor hydro plants for quick generations. Looks good!
Congratulations.
Well done , great job , bring on f2

Congratulations!
But what about "Piry McLemonface"?! Much better name! 🙃Nice to see that it turned out good! Congratulations! 🎉

Thanks for watching Carter! And good luck with your crossing efforts!
By the way, the seeds won't be for sale...I will be giving them away for free!

Success!! Congratulations, I've been following your journey for the past 18 months and the Lemon Piri updates were always the part I looked forward to the most. So happy for you!
Thank you Joshua! Looking forward to raising it through the generations, selectively breeding it for an amazing plant with tasty chillies!

Congratulations on the successful cross fine sir! Just got 2 ghost pepper plants from a mate, so stoked to try cross them with a yellow habanero
Nice work mate, glad the taste test went well for you, look forward to seeing how the next generation comes on👌🌶
Congratulations on this achievement! Glat to hear you are not dissappointed.
Now you've gotta cross that with a Starrburst.
Half jokes aside, I would love to have some seeds... so I can do that cross.
Bravo!
Chocolate Ghost + Peach Habanero, let's make this happen.

i look forward to when you can make sauces from this plant
Awesome stuff Shaun. What would we call it in Africaans? Perilemoen...
Lol....there's a plan! For a second I thought you wrote perlemoen. Used to dive for those back home, delicious with garlic butter.
There is no place like home, even when it feels like the house is falling apart. Thanks for your good work man! I love this channel…
Glad to see it come to fruition. I have 6 rare chilis together in a half size pallot box. Heat range from 1 to 10.
We do get some bees and stuff. What is the chance they naturally cross pollinated?

There is a chance. But for rarer types...like the c.galapagoense, they don't cross easily

Why don't you name it this: SPL Red which stands for Shaun's Piri Lemon Red chilli pepper.!?.
Great man that’s awesome, what scientific name will it fall under now?
Too early to tell... But dominant traits at the moment are c.frutescence
I know the spelling's wrong, but I'd have called it a "paradrop."
