Didn't take enough pictures last year, but these were supposed to be chocolate habs but it wasn't.

Holy crap, Noah. That Indian Carbon pod is nuts!

Here is one of my crazier pods from last season. Pretty gnarly for a hot paper lantern hab!

I don't think it was either, I think it was a cross. I think the person honestly collected seeds from a chocolate hab. Whatever it was miserably hot and bitter. See the pods below I got from another seed in same pack. They were really good. Looked like a scorpion of some type, but not as hot as typical scorpion. You can see the oil in it, I thought it would be brutal but was really smooth and sweet, kinda more like maybe yellow moruga level heat rather than a red one.

Nice.. I'd be interested in seeds from that chocolate mix if you are willing to send them on ?? The red ones too if possible ?? Let me know by PM if you would be inclined to.. Thanks.. Nice pods by the way, really clean and fresh !!!

My office has been asking me to bring in my hottest pepper so I cut a brown moruga down before it ripened today. The guy from Trinidad wouldn't eat it, but my colleague from Columbia popped a huge chunk of it in her mouth. Every pod I bring her she usually just shrugs and goes back to what she's doing, but this one made her react pretty good. I ended up eating the rest

I'm still new to growing so this is literally my first ever super hot:

Hey, what do they call that little "thinger" sticking out of the apex of the pepper? I tried to do a search on the anatomy of a pepper and I didn't find anything. What is it for? Just curious...

Noah Yates · Apr 16, 2015

I think thats part of the original flower that gets pollinated...

Jeebus. That thing looks like it has evolved several defense mechanisms besides capsaicin. Including kung-fu grip. I wouldn't let that thing get anywhere near my mouth. it might lay eggs in my stomach.

You mean the thickened pistol of the flower?

President Trump · Apr 16, 2015

That thing is often referred to as the golliewompus.

Noah Yates · Apr 17, 2015

I can definitely think of a few pods that I didnt take pictures of, but I wish I had. This season everyone make sure to snag photos of those mostrosities.
