Thanks all for the compliments on the plants...if I have an early frost, I am screwed...there are probably well over 5000 unripe pods total on all my plants...

Hey AJ I was just thinking after seeing the dorset nagas how all the really hot peppers seem to be really small. Being that you have a large variety and seem quite knowledgeable on the subject I was wondering if there are and large really hot peppers. Say like the size of an anaheim with the heat of a habanero.
I would not go by the size of my peppers to judge the size...it seems that most of my peppers this year in containers have smaller fruit than others on the forum are growing...so far, my superhots are maxing out at about 2 1/2" but there are some here that I think are growing them that get almost 4"....as far as really large superhots, I am not aware of any...some of the more experienced growers here may be able to tell you if there are...

Red Savina is a Notsohot??? The former world record holder... my how things have changed so fast.
IMO, the Red Savinas I am growing are way down the list as far as heat goes...I don't think they are much hotter than my Orange Habs...not saying they are not hot 'cause they are, just not as hot as a Scorpion, 7 Pot, Naga Morich, Dorset Naga, Bhut Jolokia, Bih Jolikia, and the Naga Jolokia (chinense)...again JMO...

Looking good AJ.
I've been meaning to ask you how Franks Hot Sweet peppers taste and what kind of heat and production do you get??
The Franks Hot Sweet are a mild pepper with extremely thick flesh with a great sweet flavor and make excellent stuffers...to me they are hotter than an Anaheim but not as hot as a Jalapeno. They produce a pretty good amount of pods...I have probably been picking about 10-15 a week off three plants since late may...
