Scorpion pepper/ Ghost peppers?

rkempston · Jul 26, 2015

I got these plants as a gift and told some were Trinidad Scorpion (The Rounder ones) and some were ghost peppers (The Skiinny ones) Idk if they are actually what they say they are but to me the ones that are supposed to be trinidad look like habeneros. But some of the other pods have more of a "hook/tail" look to them so i dont know

Habaneros is my guess on both

Well that's a little disappointing. Put a lot of effort into the plants thinking they were something a little unique. Oh well.

Maybe they will not be typical orange and will be a surprise!

i know your feeling my friend , been there with reapers a couple of years ago !

They look like habs for sure so hopefully they will turn out to be a different color than your typical orange ones.

Is there anywhere you would suggest for obtaining hot pepper seeds? i mean other than amazon or Ebay? I enjoyed growing them regardless but i want them to actually be scorpion/reapers/ghost etc.

My two seeds sources are Refining Fire Chiles and Pepperlover.com.

There are several other reputable sources.

Check out the Vendor Vault section of this forum.

Yes Ottawa il. I started to grow them inside last summer and managed to plant them outside after the spring frost.
They were actually supposed to be white jhuts and scorpion peppers.

Sounds good I'm really new and could use some tips.

rkempston · Jul 29, 2015

Out of curiosity what kind of Habeneros would these be? i have the rounded ones that seem to be lightened up, and the longer ones that seem to be staying green.

They seem like many of my peppers that turn white or peach when they are that pale. Time will tell.

rkempston here are the Caribbean Red's which I grow every year. They look identical to your first two photo's. If so they're mid range Habanero heat, good flavor and the plant is a great producer.

^^^They make some awesome sauce as well!

if you dont mind me asking what is the "ball-park estimate" for a pepper turning? They look like they want to turn yellow or a pale orange but theyve kind kept their Yellow green color for 2 weeks now
