First time Chili grower

Hello just stopping in to introduce myself. I am a new fan to the chili world. I have just recently been introduced to the HP22B Carolina Reaper and being that I am from Chas,SC I figured I just had to grow this pepper for myself. Me and a couple of buddies from work do the Dave's Insanity sauce and some spicy food challenges around town, but not until hearing about the reaper did I want to give it a go at growing one. I know it is late in the game to be starting but I germinated my Reapers,Moruga,Douglah,Butch T, and Bhut Jolokia's in July. So far only got 3/3 Reapers germinated,3/3 Ghost,3/3 Moruga. The rest did not germinate so I just started a new round of seeds for Douglah, and the Butch T. My Moruga's also just popped a couple days ago they took over a month to germinate so I put about 5 more in a paper towel then the next day the others popped so I will probably end up with quite a few more moruga going then I wanted.
I wanted to start these indoor to get use to holding a mother of each strain to over winter in pots. Then come spring have plenty of seeds for outdoors. 
I planned on loading the backyard with 2k pepper plants but the more I red on about these the less enthused I became. They take along time to grow and I have a house full of kids and pets that have to roam so I will probably only stick to about 20 or so instead to start. 
I would like to do this as a hobby and possibly make a little money of of the peppers,seeds,and plants but I am sure everyone and then some have the same thoughts and plans as me. I know I will not make it big but every penny helps and if I can make some side cash on doing what I want then hell yeah lets go!
 
I was going to post pics of my seeds but it shows Breeder name and website and I am not sure yet if that is allowed. So I will check before I post. Thanks for looking! Feel free to comment!
