looking good... my reapers are at a similar stage... i'm figuring another 7/10days they will be red- i like to pick em on a hot/hot day after not watering the plants for a bit... just when they start to wilt just a bit... supposely that's when they are the hottest....
 
Thank you I'll keep that in mind. I've also got chocolate primotali, 7 pot primo, and brain strain. I'll post some pics of those when they get bigger.

well its the last day of july, and on my '3' reapers they are dozens and dozens of peppers, and a hundred flowers- its interesting that my plants are probably 5-6 years old, and taken in every fall to overwinter, taken out in mid may, yet they fruit not much earlier then seeds that i sprout in feb - i would think that mature plants would start giving us peppers way earlier, but the reapers from seeds are probably 7-10days behind my mature ladies - no one has turned color yet-

I am about to buy a CR plant here in Australia, can't wait to try it, I haven't had a chili or curry that has been too hot for me and I have had some seriously hot ones.

It's interesting how some people can hack the Chili's and some can't.

In Mexico it is common for Candy to have chili. :pet the cat:

Been ordering boxes of superhots this year. Slowly building the tolerance. Those primos will go toe to toe with those reapers!
Lemon yellow brains are my favorite so far. Death spiral or Cali reaper has been the hottest so far. Have a bunch of peppers pickled and some frozen. Made some paste too.
