chinense Sweet Scorpion From Ignite

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc0Wh81dtWE
 
This is the Sweet Scorpion from The Pepper Geek, also know as ignite on The Hot Pepper. This pepper is very sweet and has a mild Scorpion flavor with just a tiny bit of heat at the tail end of it. I think this would be a great pepper to try out for someone that wants to know what the super hot version might taste like, without all the heat.
I have been snacking on these peppers since I first tried them. Might be on my grow list next season.
You can find The Pepper Geek at the locations I listed below.

How hot are these relative to jalapeno? I'm wondering if I should include these on next year's grow for other people's use.

I don't think they were as hot as a Jalapeno. I didn't get any heat until after the pepper was completely gone, then it was very mild. Some people have recorded them as being somewhere between Jalapeno and a habanero but this wasn't anywhere near that level. I think anyone can enjoy this pepper.
 
Thanks again for the review James!  I really like the scorpion sweet and would agree that it has a good flavor without the heat.  My daughter will snack on these while helping me pick peppers.  I have had a couple that were in the jalapeno range, but the plant is pretty consistent with a heat level just below that.  It's an incredible plant that is high yielding while being short and bushy.
 
Thanks!

Okay, they're on my list for next year/experiment in the fall.

Nice review James and by the way cool shirt your wearing to.
Thanks Jack!
 
Nice review. What's the source of these seeds?
I'm growing Trinidad Scorpion Sweet from JAG iso seeds and it's hotter than jalapeno, i would say about low end habanero level with slow building heat and great flavor.
An excellent variety for sure.

I bought these seeds from HellHotPeppers along with Trinidad Perfume seeds. I didn't grow out the Perfume this year. If you have a different source seeds, please PM me. I would like to try from a different source next year if possible.

Thanks,
Stephen
