Open Pepper Breeding was established in 2018, when we started with populations made by crossing with Aji Charapita. Seven years later, we are taking on a new community breeding project: Pequin x Bell Pepper. The attached document lays out the background and strategy behind this cross, as well as how you can help.
We are looking for participants to grow out F2 plants, the generation where we need to hunt for rare phenotypes. I simply can’t grow enough plants to identify truly elite phenotypes. This is a numbers game, and that’s why we need you! We have two crosses under this project: Bailey Pequin x Milena, and Bailey Pequin x Emerald Giant. Packets of F2 seeds are available online, and your support allows us to continue these projects: [https://pepperbreeding.com/product-category/breeding-population/f2/](https://pepperbreeding.com/product-category/breeding-population/f2/)
I will be growing out these populations in the spring, and providing updates and learning opportunities on Reddit and Youtube. It would be great to grow these plants alongside you!
