Moruga Red or TS Moruga Red?

Are they the same pepper?

Thanks but that thread seems to address Brain Strain...

They are not the same pepper. This is from the CARDI variety manual

Potawie, he is talking about the Morouga Red/TS Morouga, not the Brain Strain TS Morouga debate.

Bingo!!! Thanks, guys!

Ya the Moruga red and yellow are not super-hots but they have great flavor

About what would you compare them to, heatwise?

 

[POTAWIE]

I think they were around habanero heat.
I'll find the old threads to remind me.

My original response
"

I just tried a Morouga red and wow its a hottie When I cut the pod open I was pleasantly surprised to see a nice puddle of hot lava sitting in the bottom. After seeing this I touched my tounge to the knife I used to get a tiny sample and this was enough to light me up for a few seconds. After this I tried a nice sliver and that really lit my mouth and throat on fire. It had a nice flavor too, I'd say a little smokey and less fruity than other red C. chinense types.
(Stops for another sample)
Ok It doesn't seem as hot this time, and the burn doesn't last too long but I'm liking the flavor and the smell. Not as harsh a burn or flavor as some of the super hotties and not a lengthy burn but it sure is nice.

Here's a pic but you can't really see the liquid inside


And here's some pods ripening

Thanks for the description. I got some of these seeds free from Ajijoe and was wondering what exactly they were. Glad I've got them going now!
