Where can I purchase quality Trinidad Scorpion Butch T pepper seeds?

I would like to extract the seeds and dry them. What is the best way to ensure maximum germination. How long after drying the seeds can you plant them?

I pruned some off, it was getting too tall.

Some updated pictures

New Mexico State University Chile Pepper Institute http://www.chilepepperinstitute.org/ I am in Connecticut, US.

My Bhut Jolokia - Updated Pictures From NMSU Seeds. This is my first Bhut, there are many more starting to grow. The pepper is currently 2.75 inches in these pictures.

2 out of 6 germinated. I am trying to germinate the other 4 now, it has been 1 week and nothing has sprouted. I had 10 seeds total.

These are the bulbs, they are around $7 for a package of 2 from Walmart. http://genet.gelighting.com/LightProducts/Dispatcher?REQUEST=CONSUMERSPECPAGE&PRODUCTCODE=85397&BreadCrumbValues=General%20Purpose_Standard_,T3&ModelSelectionFilter=FT0010:General%20Purpose_Standard

Here is my Bhut it is about 5 weeks old not counting the germination which took about 7 days. Only 2 of my 6 seeds I planted germinated. I got the seeds from the NMSU Chile Pepper Institute 3-9-2008 (Organic Soil I used for germination) ) 4-15-2008 (ProMix Soil) Here is my growlight setup...

When do you start counting the days? I would think this # would vary depending on the growing conditions.

What type of lighting?

They look nice. Where did you get your Bhut Jolokia seeds from and how long did they take to germinate?

Thanks. I want to try to find some Promix BX before I move them to there final pots.

Here are some more pictures. I build the light for around $20. It is a $10 reflector from Lowes, single to dual socket adapter and two GE 6700K 26W (100W Eqiv) CFL's. I used a tripod I had laying around to support the light, it is nice because I can raise and lower it.
