BBG7 Red x Glabriusculum F3

BBG7 Red × C. annuum var. glabriusculum (F3) marries the ‘bleeding calyx’ super‑hot heritage of Bubblegum 7 Pot lines with the wild, berry‑type vigor of chiltepin‑class glabriusculum. Plants are vigorous and branching, with clusters of smaller pods that can show ribbing and, in some phenotypes, the signature calyx coloration of BBG7 ancestry. Heat ranges from very hot into super‑hot depending on segregation; use gloves for processing and start with small amounts in sauces. Expect variation at F3—pod size, calyx coloration, and ripening speed are all selectable traits. Full sun supports thick canopies and steady flowering across the season. Pods dry into potent flakes that add fruity‑floral punch to rubs and chili oil. If you’re a collector who enjoys selecting for form and fire, this cross offers rich material. Grow in fertile, well‑drained soil and cage lightly where winds are strong.
