Carolina Reaper (HP22B) Community Grow

A few members including myself are growing seeds for this variety ASAP. I and a few others here on THP thought it would be fun to have a "community glog" strictly for this variety, a fun thread about the HP22B and growing this pepper for the first time.

I think we should start a community glog like this anytime there is a new pepper with alot of attention and alot of people growing it, possible world record holder or not. It would be fun, and this should be fun! That's why we all love this hobby is it not?

Therefore, this will be a drama-free, controversy-free, fun glog for all of us growers and others to enjoy. If you grow, please chime in. If you're growing this variety, please post pictures and chime in about your observations.

Again.. This thread is ment to be fun and informative, but mostly fun :)
Please. Pretty please with sugar on top.. lol. Keep it drama-free.
I, and many others would really appreciate this thread to stay that way.

Now lets get to growing!

I went with the paper towel method for this guy just like I have with all my mid-season starts. It is far from my favorite way to germinate seeds but I'm in no hurry this time of year which is why I went this route. I've had the seeds in the paper towel for about a week now on top of my HOT5 lighting closet. The seeds should be showing root tips soon, then they will be visiting some real soil :D

How's it going for everyone else?

Well after seeing everyone growing the HP22 whatever it may be called Reaper ... I got curious and then curiosity overcame me and I decided I should get a pack for the starting in 3-4 weeks for next season .... opted out when I saw puckerbutt were going to charge me $26 bucks!!! for delivery plus $10 for single pack of 10 seeds. Total of 36 dollars works out at $3.60 per seed. Geez that tempered my enthusiasm ... thanks but No thanks ...

I bet if you wait a month or two there will be a lot of members with ripe pods that will be willing to send some seeds your way.
 
Ladies and gents, I just checked a moment ago, and I have my first Reaper hook from the seeds I put in the Jiffy's a week ago! Soooo excited!!
 
Hey guys. There is quite a few people with smooth pods without that tail. From my experience all I can say is those Reapers like the heat. I mean very hot weather. When we had temps here in the upper 30ºC, pods were looking good. Gnarly and true to form. We are now in winter here and day time temps are around 22/24ºC. The pods on my Reapers are also small, smooth and without tails. Heat is a major factor in them Reapers from what I have experienced. I would say for good results... the hotter the weather the better.
