I agree with AJ on taste. It's actually kind of a unique habanero taste you don't find with other varieties...and it's hot as balls. I popped them like candy this past summer, and every once in a while, i came across one that brought me to my knees for a good 5 minutes. Good stuff!

Got my seeds today! Can't wait to start some seeds in a few months. Thanks Chris

Hello from a fellow North Carolinian. Make sure you check out Smoking J's Hot Sauce Company up there in Asheville. Make sure to check out their special "hot and spicy" event this weekend at the Westville Pub! Wish I lived up there...

I'm down for some scorpion seeds if I made the cut!

I have found the best way to increase your odds of actually getting very hot food at indian and thai restaurants is to ask them to prepare it "as hot as their conscience will allow," and make sure they repeat those directions to the chef.

I thought it was just me that sometimes gets the stream of fire out of the "third hole." The first time it happened, I could have sworn I got the clap or something...then I remembered that I was happily dating the same girl for the last year or so, and I happened to have eaten an entire bottle...

Interesting...the picture from gasificada's link look similar to some habaneros that they have been selling at my local grocery store the past couple of weeks. They look like orange habs except they are twice the size, and the color of the pods is more of a pastel orange than a deep orange...

I usually snip the weaker ones until there is only one seedling per cell (or jiffy pellet in your case), but only because I don't have a shortage of seeds or seedlings every year...usually the opposite problem. That being said, once the seedlings are somewhat established, they are generally...

Thought I might chime in about tap water...the guy at the local hydroponic/organic supply store (aka weed growers supply store) brought to my attention that the municipal water in my area is treated with chloramine, which does not evaporate like chlorine. He also told me that buying Promix BX...

It's a bit early to tell, but from the looks of the leaves, I'd say that it's at least a chinense. What are you expecting it to be?

Not trying to crap on that article too much, but i would seriously take it with a grain of salt. I believe it makes note of the fact that the seed source was questionable. When Dr. Bosland tested the genetics of his Bhuts, they came back as an Frutescens/Chinense interspecific hybrid, and he...

I think my new name should be "Thread Killer." I seem to have a knack for it... ;) Maybe we can have a thread killer crown in addition to the throwdown crown?

I put 4-5 naga morich cut lengthwise in a 5oz bottle of vodka about a year ago, and it's been sitting in my fridge ever since. The peppers are somewhat bleached out, the vodka has taken an orange hue, and when I open it up for the occasional whiff, it smells like fruity apples or pears...no...

I have to agree with Patrick. What was his seed source, and why was it so unreliable? Surely it wouldn't have been that difficult to get pure seed from NMSU for the study, since he referenced Bosland's work multiple times. That kind of fundamental uncertainty kills the study for me...

@ CharlesNYC -- Do you take grind up your tabasco peppers with the seeds still in them? I usually deseed my larger peppers (bhuts, fatalis, various habaneros), but that seems like an awful amount of work for such a tiny, and surprisingly juice filled pepper. But yeah, for me personally, chile...

I just looked on seed savers and they have a $100 minimum order for international orders...yeesh. If you are just dying to get your hands on them, I can order a packet or two and mail them to you at cost (I have a paypal account). The local garden store here has a massive selection of seeds, one...

You can find them here: Seed Savers Exchange

There is no peer reviewed science to back up this claim, but in my experience, seeds that are dried out to the max are harder to germinate compared to "casually" dried seeds. That being said, I can see how taking measures to reduce moisture content in combination with refrigeration will increase...

UPDATE: So here are some selected pics of chile pepper pods I brought back from my friend's house this weekend. The ones I grow in my 5 gallon buckets just don't compare, even though they come from the same seed stock. Good thing he cant handle the heat, which means i get all the pods :hell: But...
