This is a newly germinated poblano pepper. It appears to be albino, which is very confusion. I assume it will die quickly without photosynthesis…first time I’ve seen anything like this!

Please keep me updated on this one.

Yeah because he’s lacking in green (chlorophyll) you could expect him to grow a little slower. If you’re using grow lights try move him to the edge so that he’s receiving a little less light than the greener chilli’s. This has worked for a lot of my variegated chillis

Keep it inside under lights if you can, albino plants in my experience damn near melt in the rain…I had a super cool Magnolia hyper tendril pea that was fully albino and got to about a foot tall before our first rain and just shriveled up afterwards.

Hope you can keep it alive. I’ve never had one of those survive past a couple months.

This probably won’t survive very long, but keep it under good light and take care of it the same way you would the other ones, and keep us updated on this. I would love to see if this turns out to be a whole plant

That’s how ghost peppers were invented

Take good care of that beauty, it will need its own pot and need to be supplemented with fertilizer more than other plants.
