## Heritage

F2+

7 Pot Bubblegum is an F2+ of 7 Pot Yellow and Moruga Scorpion, still splitting and not yet a finished line.

- [Moruga Scorpion](https://web.thecapsi.app/pepper/moruga-scorpion)

Chilefoundry’s 2012 write-up, after Harper sent a pod, records that he crossed Red Moruga Scorpion with Yellow 7 Pot both ways. Paul Tonkin’s 2011 review of pods from Harper names the same pair; shops still sell the line as an unstable later-generation hybrid.
