Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

Omri said:I guess they don't like it that hot.
Maybe they just don't care for the ripe taste. Might sound strange, but in certain recipes I think that green tastes better. Ripe chiles don't give certain foods that grassy taste that they need.
Arn't red Jalapenos milder and sweeter?

Thanks a lot for all that information. It will be very useful in aiding us to identify, and perhaps be more aware of all the jolokias that exist around here. Here in Portugal we call almost every hot pepper piri-piri or malagueta. So if you are going to buy a hot pepper at the market it is called for instance - malagueta from Zambia, or Malagueta from Tailândia, and it isn't really a true malagueta. If in India they call the hot peppers generally "jolokia", one must be aware of the fact that when you buy a jolokia at an indian market, it can be almost any variety of indian hot pepper. Isn't that so?

Frontal Agritech is not reliable enough for you? they do have an interest of false advertising, but the facts are, those are local chiles. The Chocolate Bhut, cross or not is out there, and it's cool looking.talas said:i think basing findings on one maybe suspect company selling the same seeds using many variety names is very suspect indeed and should be ignored till other sources are found..might as well call my next jolokia..T.H.P JOLOKIA..ITS HOT..IT BITES..ITS THE HOTTEST & BEST TASTING
The 'Chocolate Bhut Jolokia' is probably close to the 'Douglah'
so i guess when we're being specific we'd be more correct to call whatever chile you're referring by it's other probably descriptive name? Likee naga as in poison or bhut as in ghost? makes sense i guess.
