I have no clue. All of my stuff went to Ed but he used ours and his in many ways..sauce, mash, seeds, cancer research, pod testing for record. I'd assume some of ours got in there but I can't honestly say for sure. Ed would have to answer that one.
I mentioned about multiple samples because this is the first time 1.5+ million scoville has been used. Before this, even from Ed himself, it was 1.474 million. Doesn't matter either way, but that's the reason I said multiple samplesmmcdermott1 said:
and FYI..the heat from this is the same that it was last year when it was announced he had the hottest. The record took forever because there was a lot that went on with Guinness behind the scenes that your not aware of that hindered him "officially" getting it. It had nothing to do with the data or the pepper. It is and has been the hottest since it was released last year
yea that's pretty wild. I know one person he should do the whole "neener, neener, boo, boo" to lolmmcdermott1 said:what i was most impressed with was the peak on the official docs
#1 Are you say he didn't pay Guinness for the record but he Did Pay Guinness to expedite the fact checking process, So isn't that paying them money? Didn't Ed say he payed Guinness $10,000 and I say if someone payed that kind of money I would give them a World Record too.mmcdermott1 said:it is official and it is not a primo, I wasnt aware a primo averages 1.5 mill and peaks at 2.2 mil..oh yea..it doesnt (it was tested)
I also grow thousands of each and can say for 100% certainty they are not the same pepper. Is a black naga and chocolate bhut the same? How about a moruga and brainstrain (red or yellow). shall I go on because I can name quite a few chile peppers that "look" the same.
the name on the "sample" isnt going to be on the final doc he gets in 10 days. The Official name is (and always has been) Smokin Eds Carolina Reaper which he also just got the official trademark for this past week.
There will always be doubters and there will always be those who gawk at those that have actually done something very unique. So be it.
I have the official documents from them in my inbox directly from them. It is legit and it is the record. Ed will have the official document in 10 days and I would assume in that same time frame the Guinness site will be updated accordingly.
oh and I had to edit for the comment about what he paid Guinness for the record.
1. Do some fact checking..you dont Pay them for any record of any type, they are the record keeper, nothing more. They dont do the testing
2. IF you choose to pay them money they will expedite the fact checking process but that is all
3. A lot of money was spent yes, but that was on developing, growing and testing for many years.

#2 Genetically where did the Stinger come from a Hab doesn't have a stinger and Naga doesn't have stingers that I have seen, so genetically it shouldn't have a stinger IMO.

judy there is indeed a sweet habanero it is a small red lantern shaped pod plant is super prolific very little to no heat and they taste wonderful, i have decised to grow it this yearPepperLover said:you are correct who knows.
well i know two simple things
the only sweet habanero there is, is Zavory and never heard/seen, any Nagas come from Pakistan. Actually Pakistani pepper are most if not all are C.Annuum and C. Frutescens. never seen a C.Chinense from Pakistan .
