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

How's it going for everyone else?

Well I did cut this one back in December, I replanted it today..

 
It produced nice true type pods with stingers...

I just ordered some Carolina reaper seeds from bakers peppers a few days ago. I found out that the company doesn't have the best rep... I hope nothing goes wrong with my order. I might start the seeds now even though I know it's late and keep a couple of the plants inside for over wintering. What do you guys think? I'm a new chile grower and any advice is appreciated

First pods of the season from my Carolina Reapers:

Wow Jim,
 
Well hung I'd say

Dale is good peeps, and yeah, it's late. But I would pot it and OW it. What part of LI? I was born in N Babylon.

Thank you! And tomorrow is a week since I placed my order I hope the seeds come tomorrow. And I'm from Patchouge! But now I'm in Holtsville

 

[Devv]

Just came back from there Monday, we go there (Lake Ronkonkoma) every July 4th.
 
Good luck with the Reapers, hot but tasty!

       Ok I started reading this thread from front to back starting in April.HOLY COW what a sh%T storm.I learned about trademarks,peppers that magically turn into pumpkins.The Good The Bad and The Ugly,"not the C.Eastwood version" Since I am growing them this year I thought I would show a pic of 1 of 4 Reapers.
     In my case they are true.

Looking good Randy!

This website and particularly this thread are what got me interested in growing peppers. Thank you all for the info and updates. All these plants look amazing!

Here are my first young pods from plant 1 of 4. What do you guys think? It looks to be growing stingers. Pods are the size of a fingernail.
