Very true, just under estimated or WELL publicitized
RedThumb said:Seeds are also now available from The Chili Pepper Institute at New Mexico State U. (http://spectre.nmsu.edu/dept/welcome.html?t=chile).
They have "Bhut Jolokia" seeds. From what I've pieced togther, Naga Morich/Naga Jolokia/Bih Jolokia/Bhut Jolokia/Borbih jolokia, Nagahari, Nagajolokia, Naga Morich, Naga Moresh and Raja mirchi are all names for the same (or possibly closely related) pepper.
In any event, The Chili Pepper Institute measured the pepper they have at 1,001,304 SHU.
I just ordered some yesterday & am looking forward to growing them. I understand they are slow growers and should be planted early. Any suggestions on how early for growing in Zone 7?

Tony said:They are C. Chinense and have a longer germination period than
some others, usually 2-4 weeks, and do better if started in
a heated propagator.
Tony said:If the seed-coat is still soft from very fresh seeds they often
come up faster. The fastest I've ever got was about 5 days from
seeds planted right from the pod, this is not common though.
The point is to be patient and not to discard then after 2 weeks.

HotSauceGoonie said:When do you think it will be when some companies come out with sauces containing Naga Morich or Dorset Naga chili's? The peppers have been discovered now for almost a year.
Cheers,
RedThumb said:Chileman,
Do you sell sauce? The recipe page (http://www.thechileman.org/naga_morich.php) you have for making naga sauce has a picture of a sauce bottle labeled "Naga Snake Bite ... from The Chile man".
