Well, I'm another person who fell for the Naga Jolokia pepper misunderstanding, however, I currently have some beautiful plants going which are loaded with peppers. I bought a couple packs of Nagas, and planted one entire pack of 26 seeds. Planted 13 small containers...2 seeds per container...experienced excellent germination rate. I soon discovered that all pods on my Nagas look kinda like small cayenne peppers. Nice plants...pretty decent heat on even a couple of the green pods. But alas, I vowed to a couple of my chili head friends, that I would acquire the real mccoy, so I purchased 3 packs of Bhuts from the Chili Pepper Institute. I couldn't wait to get some Bhuts in the ground, so I started some now, even though it was already the 25th of June here in Illinois. I realized it was way too late for planting any, but the plan is, these 3 I planted will hopefully be small, well established plants by the time fall rolls around and will be brought into the house, into my designated chili pepper grow room and kept there under lights over winter. When spring of 2009 rolls around, hopefully, I will have a head start with my Bhuts. Anyway, I used some very fine seed starting mix and 3 small containers...2 seeds per container. Out of 6 seeds planted, the first one germinated in exactly 1 week and 2 days. My next seed germinated in approximately 2 weeks and 2 days. Seed 3 and 4 germinated in just under 3 weeks, and finally seed number 5 germinated right at 3 weeks, for 5 out of 6, which I consider a pretty decent germination rate. I broke out the digital camera this morning and snapped a couple pics of my new babies, and sometime in the next day or so, I will post them.
