any hot pepper enthusiasts?

[Nano]

Well I know we have a lot of gardeners on here and this is our first year doing it. And my hands are dirty.

Are there any pepper enthusiasts on here? Hot or superhots in particular?

Here are my babies right now started from seeds from pepperjoes


Left to right
Red habanero
Devils tongue
Scotch bonnet
Bhut jolokia (x2)
Fatalii
Trinidad scorpion moruga
Trinidad scorpion butch T (x2)
Carolina reaper (current guiness world record holder)

I'm hoping to get these bad boys in to some 5 gallon pots soon as I can line up 10 lol.

Here's my scotch bonnets already setting fruit


If anyone grows hots or superhots feel free to give me some pointers as its my first time and want as many as I can get

The place where I am from, people sometimes try "hot and spicy" stuff to overcome constipation But I love it since it just makes food tastes so much better

I typically grow a number of different plants in my garden (this year will be the exception - no time). The craziest I grew were Naga Bhut Jolokia (Ghost pepper). Those things were vicious! I have a high tolerance for heat but... holy balls those things kicked my ass!

You can smell them from several feet away :P

LOL. I think they're actually trying to tear your sinuses out of your head from several feet away.

I love spice and heat more than most but what are you trying to do with those things...chemical warfare? Uncooked Jalapeño is about as crazy as i get....and dang those can be hot.

I have ordered seeds from pepper joe and a couple other places for the last 3 years.
I have to say your plants are looking great so I dont think you need any pointers. I have personally eaten scotch bonets, taz habenaro, ghost pepper, fatali pepper, and brain strain pepper. I grew the butch t last year but my plant never produced any peppers.

This year I planted many super hots including the caronlina reaper and the morgua. But life has been really busy for me lately so my plants were neglected and most of them died. The only survivors were the fatali pepers.

For heat and flavour wise here is my experience. Taz hab and scotch bonnet are similar in heat. Very hot but standable with no milk needed. Burn lasts about 15 to 20mins. Flavour is ok on both but not great. The fatali pepper is similar in heat maybe slightly less but it has great flavour, almost tastes lemony. The ghost pepper is hotter than the previous 3 but not alot hotter. The burn lasts about 25 mins and you will need a bit of milk. I used these in salsa with the scotch bonnets and fatali peppers and it was just right. The salsa was hot but still edible lol.

Now the hottest pepper I ever ate was the brain strain pepper. All I can say is holy sh@t. If you think a ghost pepper is hot then this thing will kill you! Ghost peppers are hot to me but I like them and eat them regularly. The brain strain pepper I tried it once and probably never will again. It was that hot! I really wanted to try the butch t but like I said my plant never produced.

When I tried the peppers for the first time I ate them raw and whole. Not just a little sliver. I wanted to get a true sense of what each pepper was about.

Good luck with your pepper growing!

Well if your interested provided I get a good yield id be happy to mail you a couple butch t or moruga if you wanted. My trinidads are just starting to bud so I expect fruit for the end of summer. Never mailed peppers though lol so it could be interesting.

Wtf! You are a pepper eating monster! I picture Godzilla! Wow.

I grow sweet peppers atm indoors via hydroponics. Keep in mind as I understand it peppers easily cross pollinate. So if you grow sweet peppers next to spicy varieties then your spicy peppers won't be nearly as spicy. And your sweets may be spicier. I grow one variety at a time and many greenhouse farmers will grow one variety per greenhouse. And peppers love heat, they will grow great indoors under mh and one pepper plant will produce many peppers for a year or more!
