I bought this as a small plant labeled chocolate Moruga scorpion, but I think only the chocolate was right 😂. No stingers and the shape is wrong. Does anyone recognize this one?

I bought this plant as Jay’s red ghost scorpion, but the pods are not at all elongated and looks like Trinidad Moruga scorpion to me.  Any thoughts?

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Not to my knowledge

Hi friends,   I have a yellow brain strain and a chocolate moruga scorpion that are both putting out these thin spindly leaves and I don't understand what they're trying to tell me.  There is no obvious pest damage.  Is this some sort of incurable viral problem?   Thanks,   Justin

I'm trying to figure out what these white spots are on my ghost peppers.  On some of them it is spreading so it covers a good percentage of the whole pepper.  Anybody recognize it and/or recommend a treatment so I don't lose my harvest?   Thanks!!    

This was sold to me as a Carolina reaper. They also sell ghost peppers. I havent seen elongated pods like this on a reaper. Does this look like a ghost pepper to you all?

About 3 weeks or so

Thanks, I put pellets down. I was thinking circular holes in the middle of leaves meant not slugs but well see if it helps. I dug giant holes for these things when I amended the soil. Probably nearly big enough to set a 5 gallon bucket in. And as I mentioned Ive grown superhots in these same...

Thanks for the advice. What does that treat?

Im in NC so the natural soil is red clay. I amended it with top soil and compost and added Plant tone organic fertilizer. I have had super hots growing successfully in this exact spot the last three seasons but my two plants didnt make it through overwintering this year so I had to buy new ones.

Hi all,   Planted this store bought reaper about 3 weeks ago, used Plant-tone fertilizer at planting.  It's got bugs eating it despite a dose of Sevin and another of a permethrin-based Ortho product a week later.  Yellowing and dropping leaves.  Soil is pretty damp so I'd guess I'm over...

Hi All,   Just made my first batch of 100% Carolina reaper hot sauce yesterday.  Last year I made the same recipe using Trinidad moruga scorpions.  I don't have the old sauce on hand to do a side by side comparison, but I could swear the scorpion sauce was hotter.  Is there that much variance...

I have a Trinidad moruga scorpion which is slowing down in a major way and I plan to prune it back and bring it inside and then replant next spring.  I have about 20 orange peppers on it but they are ripening really slowly now and temperatures are dropping here in NC.  Is there any trick to...

I brought a chocolate hab and a scorpion that are in buckets inside onto my back porch.  Giant reaper was too big to put a sheet over but it appears to have made it.  We were at 35 when I got up this morning.  Thanks everyone for the tips.

Hi All,   I'm in Charlotte and have a few really nice plants that are still producing peppers.  I just read Pepper Guru's overwintering guide and am psyched to overwinter 3 of them so I don't have to start from scratch in the spring.  Tonight is forecast to go down to 32 or 33, then back up to...

First two peppers to ripen off this plant had me convinced that it was a reaper (as it was labeled when I bought it), although I did notice not a very pronounced stinger. (sorry about the shitty pic)         The rest of the green pods are a lot more elongated and look more like ghosts to me...

These peppers are more pale with smooth skin.  None have ripened yet.  Any guesses?        

I have a Trinidad Moruga scorpion plant whose pods are just now turning red.  My main plan is to use them for sauce in a recipe where I roast them on cast iron.  Since I only have one plant with a few ripening at a time I have to roast in small batches and put them in the freezer until I have...
