*unknown source use only as reference. It's not letting me post a direct link. Just click and search Major Pain https://tictail.com/search?category=products&q=major%20pain

It might be of Italian origin. This seller sells a couple "Major Pain" crosses. I seen a mention of the same pepper on facebook by a someone named "Wacky Grower" in Italy.

Reach out to one of these guys and the may be able to help.

It's from mojo peppers, I know they have a cross of it and yaki blue available, but I think G.I.P said they don't have seeds for major pain anymore

Well I do, and I'm growing them... About 6 of them ATM... Will report once I have pods!

I have about a dozen more seeds just in case these don't do well, but so far the 6 plants are looking very healthy...

Seems like that could be major pain in the ass next morning and that shape is simply beautiful.

Yeah! It's a really mean-looking pod! When I got the seeds from a trade, I didn't know what they were and I assumed they might be something ordinary... Maybe a Cayenne-Jalapeno cross or somesuch... NOPE!

I'm pretty excited to be growing them!

Word from the very very few who have tasted it is that it's not big on taste but about equal to a Carolina Reaper in heat... Or more.

I, for one, can definitely use a pepper like that, if perhaps only to add to tasty sauces, without changing the taste much and adding tons of heat!

There's a pod tasting video here, only other info I could scrounge up, for those of you who are willing to risk FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/UrbanHydr0/videos/560060897708326/

I got in touch with the guy in the video, he says it was definitely hotter than a Reaper. Like, insanely, ridiculously, off-the-chart, mind-erasingly, hot.

According to my notes it was Naga Morich. Cross was made by Arne in Germany. But I can't find this info anymore/anywhere.

I don't think there's much more information then that.

Walchit · Apr 20, 2018

Hey Luke! I have a few plants going off the seeds you sent.

Seeds of? Major Pain? :hot:

Walchit · Apr 20, 2018

No, idk if he sent seeds for it or not. I definitely have a mojo brainstrain scorpion though.
