The Reapers are setting on our Patio Plant

These images are of our Carolina Reaper plant that we have growing on our deck.

The image below is the first pepper the plants actually set on. I've been taking pictures of this pod since July 13, when the petals fell off.

Not for sure yet on the video... My two sons and I tried a Red Brain Strain we had growing in our garden a couple of weeks ago, and done a video. The facial expressions were quite comical and the language a bit raunchy. It's so far the hottest pepper we've tried so far this summer.

What would you say the height of your Reaper plant is?  
Approx. 36 inches in the container. My deck rails are 30 inches and the plant is above the rail now. Sorry for such a slow reply.

Mine started turning two days ago, how's yours doing?

In the last 2 weeks, the plant has already given off 15 ripe pods. Extreemely delicious, but tastes like 2-2.5 habaneros combined into one. I bleneded a reaper into a homemade bbq sauce, and holy shit did it hit! First time sweating from eating some chicken thighs with no extrea sauce haha.

So far we have picked a couple dozen and they are hot. My oldest son and I have made a Mango sauce and some Salsa out of the Reapers and it turned out great. I've put the Mango sauce on Ribs, Chicken and Grilled Hamburgers and it seems to go with everything giving it that extra heat with a little bit of sweet. We have a string hanging now drying some Reapers and Brain Strains. For a Brain Strain, Reaper pepper flake we plan to make.
