I think that might be the 2nd. hottest peppers in the world…don’t quote me on that…I grew it 2 yrs. ago…
I’m a pothead first and foremost!
Sometimes yes. I have 3 good plant nurseries near me and can usually find at least 30 different hot pepper varieties between them. It’s hard to say no to something you’ve never or rarely seen before.
I do that with olive oil and dried peppers.
they go into the basement to sit for min 6 months, then come upstairs and sit on a shelf waiting their turn.
My general go to oil for sauteeing stuff.
similar to the Bhut Jolokia´s,we grew beside. to hot to eat it regularly,if you ask me
Gotta prioritize, right? LOL!
I’ve rarely seen any place here with more than a dozen different peppers, and that’s rare! What are seeing as rare? I gotta get out more!
Last year I found Apocalypse Scorpions along with Butch T’s, White & Chocolate Trinidad Scorpions, White Ghosts and other peppers at Terra nurseries in Waterdown and Grobe nursery here in Guelph ON.
I haven’t seen the Apocalypse Scorpions… how are they?
They were ultra hot, may even have been hotter than my reapers last year!
a good scale
As more time passes, I care less about insane heat, and more about flavor. I know, I’m a wuss!
I have a 2 indoor tents going now and and only got 1 autoflower cinderecil rolling. The rest is all peppers and few different veg plants. Current have 4 pepper plants produce fruits and about 30 pepper more plants sprouted. I think I got about 10-12 different varieties
After I cracked 60 I had to back off the heat a little.
Habs are hot enough for me now…

Have you tried the Trinidad Perfumes, lol?
My ghost pepper plant got a little frost bitten so I brought it inside. It has about six pepper sites but they are still pretty small I hope it’s still living.
I’ve never gotten pepper fruits indoors, but I’ve brought plants in, cut them back to about 8", and they started regrowing off the bare stems. And that was usually after I’d forgotten and left them out in a frost or two. Gave a pretty big jump in the following Spring. No doubt yours will be fine
Reviving this thread to share these guys:
I’ve never grown a pepper in my life, but I read along with this thread during early 2022 and was inspired to grow some fire this year!
I traveled through Peru for a month a few years back, and everywhere I went was some version of an aji amarillo salsa, so I’m growing the aji strains as a throwback to that trip, and to replicate that delicious sauce.
I love me some spicy ass food too, and I’ll get down on some Thai hot dishes at “full flavor”, but I’ve never encountered ANYTHING as hot as the Douglah is purported to be. I just have to know.
And finally, I’ve heard that the chocolate hab has really excellent flavor, in addition to it’s relatively significant heat, so I’m going to see how I can incorporate that into some dishes.
Down to hear any tips you chili vets have to offer!
Hehe - the seed packs look like they were inspired by weed breeders
I tried this random pepper growing at my new house & it’s the hottest or next-to-hottest I’ve stupidly eaten
A contractor that came by saw them & asked for some— I said sure man but you better know what you’re doing(he’s Vietnamese)…& told him about my “experience” & didn’t know wtf they are. He said Hawaiian x Ghost
Even sounds like weed…
Ok guys…been interested in growing hot in Central America.
I just got some seeds delivered.
I’m going to grow in my greenhouse.
Or are you better growing outside…
-
Do you germ seeds similar to weed seeds ie. Paper towel soak ?
-
I’m only planing to grow three types first…one is definitely jalapeños
The others I’m open…but I do like hot.

I soak pepper seeds 12-24 hours then straight into peat pots… some varieties germinate better in a drier environment.
Direct in soil
Peppers need 25°c for germination and patience
Depend how fresh seeds are
Need water in bloom phase
Well structured ans rich soil
Humidity in the morning
Heat in the afternoon
