Bite it!

they are without a doubt the hottest pepper ive ever eaten however the next hottest pepper ive ever tried was a habanero

Not sure what it is, but I'm pretty sure it's not a Carolina Reaper. Not red enough (although it MAY get redder), no stinger, and not bumpy enough.

update: this years peppers are looming larger and gnarlier

I am 99% sure thats a red savina as it is one of my favorites.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Makes sense since they also sell that plant.

Reminds me of a Congo Trinidad that I grew many years ago. Not sure if they sell that one, but just throwing it into the mix...

what about a dragons breath. they sell them and from what ive seen online it looks incrediby similar. my first round of pods looked identical to this plant here which is supposedly a dragons breath

 

[HellfireFarm]

The DB's I've grown look just like Reapers or Scorpions - so I would be looking for the stinger. That's why I don't think it's that.

Red Savina seems to make sense, although that last picture seems a little bumpier than I would expect.

in the newer pics of the green pepper looks like a mustard reaper only not as stippled interesting

 

[Ribs]

still think this a red savina?

Why don't you send the pics to PJ's? They can tell you what it is and send you the correct plant..
