I bought this as a small plant labeled chocolate Moruga scorpion, but I think only the chocolate was right 😂. No stingers and the shape is wrong. Does anyone recognize this one?

I bought this plant as Jay’s red ghost scorpion, but the pods are not at all elongated and looks like Trinidad Moruga scorpion to me.  Any thoughts?

Hi friends,   I have a yellow brain strain and a chocolate moruga scorpion that are both putting out these thin spindly leaves and I don't understand what they're trying to tell me.  There is no obvious pest damage.  Is this some sort of incurable viral problem?   Thanks,   Justin

I'm trying to figure out what these white spots are on my ghost peppers.  On some of them it is spreading so it covers a good percentage of the whole pepper.  Anybody recognize it and/or recommend a treatment so I don't lose my harvest?   Thanks!!    

This was sold to me as a Carolina reaper. They also sell ghost peppers. I havent seen elongated pods like this on a reaper. Does this look like a ghost pepper to you all?

Hi all,   Planted this store bought reaper about 3 weeks ago, used Plant-tone fertilizer at planting.  It's got bugs eating it despite a dose of Sevin and another of a permethrin-based Ortho product a week later.  Yellowing and dropping leaves.  Soil is pretty damp so I'd guess I'm over...

Hi All,   Just made my first batch of 100% Carolina reaper hot sauce yesterday.  Last year I made the same recipe using Trinidad moruga scorpions.  I don't have the old sauce on hand to do a side by side comparison, but I could swear the scorpion sauce was hotter.  Is there that much variance...

I have a Trinidad moruga scorpion which is slowing down in a major way and I plan to prune it back and bring it inside and then replant next spring.  I have about 20 orange peppers on it but they are ripening really slowly now and temperatures are dropping here in NC.  Is there any trick to...

Hi All,   I'm in Charlotte and have a few really nice plants that are still producing peppers.  I just read Pepper Guru's overwintering guide and am psyched to overwinter 3 of them so I don't have to start from scratch in the spring.  Tonight is forecast to go down to 32 or 33, then back up to...

First two peppers to ripen off this plant had me convinced that it was a reaper (as it was labeled when I bought it), although I did notice not a very pronounced stinger. (sorry about the shitty pic)         The rest of the green pods are a lot more elongated and look more like ghosts to me...

These peppers are more pale with smooth skin.  None have ripened yet.  Any guesses?        

I have a Trinidad Moruga scorpion plant whose pods are just now turning red.  My main plan is to use them for sauce in a recipe where I roast them on cast iron.  Since I only have one plant with a few ripening at a time I have to roast in small batches and put them in the freezer until I have...

Glistening after the rain...  

My first pepper changing color on what's supposed to be a Carolina Reaper plant.  Thought they were always red.  What gives?        

:tear:  :tear:  :tear:  :tear:  :tear:  :tear:   I hope they get the worst possible diarrhea   I'm in Charlotte where first freeze is around Thanksgiving.  Any chance this plant recovers and produces well if the deer repellent I sprayed after this happened keeps them away?

Some kind of Thai chili?  Only thing I know for sure is it isn't what I thought I bought (Moruga scorpion)!!    

This is the third plant I've had this season from the same greenhouse that was mislabeled.  It was labeled a ghost, but it looks too stubby and bumpy for a ghost to me.  The only other superhots they carry as far as I know are Trinidad Moruga Scorpion and Carolina Reaper.  Anyone want to take a...

Good news:  The plant I was complaining about not fruiting here finally has its first pepper.   Bad news:  It was labeled as a Trinidad Moruga Scorpion but shape looks more like a Thai of some sort.  Can anybody ID it or is it too early?    

This pepper plant has been putting out flowers for 2 months, and every single one has dropped without producing a single pepper.  Plant is slender but looks healthy.  Weather in Charlotte, NC has been low to mid 90s with high humidity for the past month.  I've been fertilizing with 10-10-10 and...

Thought I'd post a recipe and pics of the process.  I have been making this sauce for a few years with habaneros.  Habaneros weren't doing it for me anymore so I switched to superhots.  You can substitute whatever peppers you like to meet your desired level of heat.  What I love about this...
