I love the hottest peppers!

[hippie_lettuce]

I planted Chocolate Hab, Trinidad Scorpion Butch T, bhut jolokia, jawala, Amish bush, and Fatali a couple of months ago. Vegging away indoors. They are all still less than 6" tall but once they are put outside they will bush out. Did them earlier this year (planted around early May, I think) than last year and hoping the Trinidads and bhuts will produce more.

Hey folks. Been a while since I stepped in this thread after I was disappointed to be told the pepper plants I'm growing (from seeds) were NOT Ghost Pepper plants...

Here's the pic I'd posted in May of 2012...

I contacted the producer of those seeds and told him that I was informed that the pepper plants from his seeds were not bhut jolokia, so he sent me a couple of new packs. Very good of him.

However, due to lack of space and those 3 plants being healthy, I continued growing out the first 3 plants instead of starting any new pepper plants.

Those 3 plants have heavily fruited over the past few months and here are some pics I took today of their fruits. Obviously, they have matured or something and are now more closely identifiable to the ghost peppers that I bought seeds for. At least I think they look like them.

I'm still no pepper expert but I'm thinking these plants are actually Bhut Jolokia after all, but the first fruits were stunted by my inexperience or whatever.

Could these actually be ghost peppers after all?

Thanks.

The last picture is closest to the Bhut but the skin looks a bit too smooth, how's the heat level on those?

I love the hottest peppers!

Thanks for the input KGB47.
I hear ya on the smooth skin factor.
I only tried the smallest pepper of the first harvest. It was about 3mm long x 2mm wide but it was ripe.
I had chewed it up completely without swallowing it because I would rather not be in pain long term if it turned out to be deadly hot.
Good thing too because by chewing it for approximately 30 seconds & spitting it out I still spent the better part of the next hour dripping in perspiration & snot.
I can chow down on habaneros with a good 15 minutes of meltdown effects but this tiny particular dried fruit took me to a much more intense (numbing) degree of pain & kept me in that state for nearly an hour. Thankfully it was isolated to my lips & mouth. I made sure not to swallow much of its oils but my throat felt scorched anyways.
Whatever these chilis are, they are definitely very hot.

Those are cm, and not mm, right?

And I would never sample a whole hot pepper without testing a small bit on the center of my tongue. You had lots of courage and you got a a hot kick for that.
Nagas are extremely hot, i use 1/16 of one pepper to spice a dish (per 1 good size portion) to a level that most peple would not want to eat. I never ate more than a quater of a very small pepper, and it was very painful when I did that.

No.. I'm not that crazy. I did mean millimeters, not centimeters.

It was my first (only) sample of anything hotter than a habanero, so I went cautiously.

The small one pictured here is about the same size as what I sampled. It might not be big or even as hot as a larger one but it definitely kicked ass. The larger ones would likely have landed me in the ER. LOL!

In any case, I'm keeping these plants as house plants and they keep producing more and more... whatever they might be.

just pruned back my ghosts,trinidad scorp's,hab's, etc brought into our greenhouse room last fall... lots of flowers already on the trin's and a couple of smallish peppers... my ass can't wait for the summer....

I have some nice Tabia Bali seedlings outside at the minute. They have been thriving and are outstripping all the other chillies in the garden. The only thing is I have found a heap of white stuff under the leaves all along the central veins. Not sure if they are aphid eggs or something else. Been washing them off so hopefully that will do the trick and soon will have some gnarly fat peppers on the things for autumn.

[audioaddict]

Getting back into chilli mode now.

Still have a couple of plants left from last year, though I have been a bit slack this winter and lost quite a few plants.

I still have a couple of Scotch Bonnets, Fresno, Jalapeno and Tabasco.
Trying to revive my Alma plant that took the knock recently due to an accident and also have three new Pusa Jwala babies.

Going to start some new seeds soon, including Lemon Aji as I can't do without them anymore and probably some Orange Habs as I haven't had any for a while and miss 'em.

i used to work in this little cafe that had a habenero based sauce,once a year we would get a couple of cases and fill a pot with oil and cook them down....it was so toxic you had to wear a painters suit and a full mask respirator..then we would have to rent a steam cleaner and clean the whole kitchen,top to bottom,even the residue would make your eyes water...at any rate,we would end up with a super hot chili paste that just got frozen...while it was cooking the fumes would literally send people to the hospital....

Had my first taste of fatalis yesterday. Packed them into some inner beauty sauce. Delightful!
