No they're not. depending on your source, as some are selling the same chile under different names. there is a Bih out there that isn't anything like the Bhut. different growth pattern and even different flavor.QuadShotz said:Howdy!
Generally, it is:
- Bih Jolokia
- Bhut Jolokia
- Dorset Naga
- Naga Morich
The first two are basically the same, just grown in different areas of India and thus named differently.
It wasn't hybridized my friend, only selectively bred. it's about the same size as the Naga Morich, only with a bit more consistent shape.QuadShotz said:The Dorset Naga was a hybridized offshoot of the Naga Morich. It tends to be smaller aand less long as the Bih/Bhut/Morich peppers.
Where TF do you get that stuff? it ain't no hybrid. it's a chile on its own that's either Annuum or Frutescens. PC-1 is the name given to it by the authorities.QuadShotz said:The often seen advertised chile "naga jolokia" is usually a cayenne-shaped PC-1 hybrid that's not nearly as hot and can be confusing. It's because online, people can call stuff anything trying to sell it based on a name.
1. You can grow all of the above in the same conditions, and still they won't be the same chile. WHY? GENETICS.QuadShotz said:Different conditions, where grown, all contribute to varietal differences. Also, chiles LOVE to crossbreed...making a pure strain very difficult to have.
They are all related though.
The red color is just a trace of fungicides.ebk637 said:thanks for the replys.
i asked because i started some seeds last night and i thought i ordered bhut jolokia from two different sources and one of em sent me bhut naga.
and the difference in the seeds is obvious by color.the seeds labeled bhut jolokia had a red or pink around the outside of em.
the other ones labeled bhut naga were white or cream but the shapes were the same.
Was that meant to hurt in any way?QuadShotz said:So mebeb i don't 'get' the way peppers become other peppers.
I dont really care.
I did try to help a newbie, my bad.
