Suppose to be morugas. Yay or nay

[Island_Dan]

Just did my first harvest on that plant. It was one of those i was not 100% sure of but was labeled as moruga TS when I got the seeds.

 

[romy6]

yay 

 

[Nigel]

Looks like a yay to me, as well.

 

[SadisticPeppers]

Looks like Morugas to me!

 

[meinchoh]

Inside looks like it but not too sure about the outside..Not very bumpy for a Moruga..You could drink that oil with a straw!! 

 

[Island_Dan]

Yeah I was concerned about the outside appearance. Hopefully the second set of pods will be more bumpy. My experience is that always the first pod set never look very true. Might be a cross with something since these are OP.

I stupidly cut that pod open without gloves, rubber my forehead and cheek and set my skin on fire!

I can see quite the spot of capsaicin oil inside one of the halves...

Dan, mine aren't red yet, but they look exactly like this random pic I got when you google moruga. To me, yours don't really resemble that pod shape, but maybe it is just the first pods that look different. Good luck finding out, they look hot as hell either way.

I've had Yellow 7's that have been smooth next to a plant that were all bumpy same heat same taste. Not all will get the bumpy trait

 

[Dragonpeppers]

Eat it!!!!!

 

[PepperDaddler]

Awesome.

 

[MissWadadli]

It looks like a nay, but they definitely look hot!  (Yum!)  The difference in climate and soil conditions could account for the lack of bumpiness.  In T&T, they also grow with a little "tail" which I don't see.  Either way, enjoy!!

yay yaheaaa

I don't think Brains and the moruga look the same at all.

 

[Island_Dan]

This is what happened to them. Cooked up and made into a sauce. It has agave, honey, cider vinegar, diced pineapples and diced mangoes plus all the peppers. (Thanks Pex for guidance with my first sauce attempt).
Anyway great flavor for about a second and then it punches hard in the face for even contemplating a compliment. It's almost inedible because its so spicy but I am a wuss.

 

[Jeff H]

Looks awesome but I bet that is f-ing hot if those are morugas. I've made enough sauces with supers to know that it only takes a few in a batch that size to make it fiery hot. You have a lot more than a few.

 

[PepperDaddler]

Looks perfect with the sweet and heat. I will be doing something like this very soon.

Give it a week or so it will mellow a bit and blend - looks funky 

 

[Island_Dan]

Thanks for the input LDHS I will give it a week.

So I will say yay also on morugas. The second set of pods are bumping up.

 

[Terravexti]

Morugas have a texture with distictive grooves along the sides that the brains don't have.

 

[wildseed57]

yep the second batch of pods look more like them, hot as hell and with a lasting burn. Your Sauce looks great I'll have to remember your ingredients.
