Big pods! Looks like standard jalapeno ...

Probably seeds from the green one will be not viable.

the green one looks like "jalapeno M"

"M" should be mexican, so almost any kind of jalapeno maybe named so..

Hi, I just posted this in my 2010 diary, but maybe here is a better place...

 

Is it normal for Jalapeno seedlings to be "tall & skinny" compared with other seedlings that germinated at the same time...???

 

(...if it is not normal is there something I can do to stop the seedling getting too top heavy and falling over?)

The behaviour of the plants (tall and thin stem) may be due to insufficient light.

they need more light100%

OK, I'll try to increase the number lamps that I have on the box, at the moment they are switched on from 05.00 to 22.00 is it enough?

 

...is there a reason that the Jalapeno would be affected but not the others?

P.S. If this isn't a Jalapeno specific problem I'll transfer the discussion back to my "Just Planted!" thread, in order to keep this thread on topic...
