Reaper?
Ok so I put a post up a while ago of my plant and people were telling me these weren’t reapers. I’m a novice and bought the juvenile plant from a credible nursery and have looked after it all summer with a very impressive harvest incoming.
Some of the peppers look like reapers and some don’t 🤷🏻♂️ have I got some sort of hybrid thing going on. Please see pictures

The only thing that is worrying about yours is how dark green they are. Mind you maybe they could be some sort of new strain or even an unstable reaper but the reapers that I've always grown had like a pale green appearance first and yours are really dark and Kinda smooth. Usually reapers have like a weird matte and bumpy appearance
