Glad you asked, they took an exceptionally long time to get to this stage. I would estimate that they are about three months old at this point and in the last picture.
This is my first time growing seeds from this supplier so I hope that they grow true, however I have little doubt of that as a lengthy veg time is typical of trinidad scorpions I hear.
I just began germinating two Scotch bonnets, and aji lemon, and a big bomb cherry.
I'll do a seed giveaway in the spring.

The time frame is certainly not a deal-breaker but it's only a foot tall and I see no sign of it having any interest in doing anything other than continue slow and steady growth for the forseeable future..
What kind of peppers do you have going on sham?

I will have to write my list later today, it's a considerably diverse one and not something I can replicate from memory.
None of those you listed are really in-line with any of the projects I have going on right now but I would be happy to send you a couple varieties of pepper seeds to flesh out your collection.

Good thread.
Thanks man, I forgot to mention in my earlier post that I actually got those carolina reaper plants from a large russian guy who had to stop growing them because he was developing GI problems from eating them. These seeds came from ed curry so I have every reason to believe that the fruits from these plants are not to be fucked with.
Ghost chilis are part of my daily diet, but they taste amazing and only rate 855,000shu (on average) compared to 2-3x in a scorpion or reaper (which I have not tried yet). I've heard reapers just taste like death, and scorpions have too sharp a heat to taste anything, so a lot of what I'm going to be doing will be trying to make sauces that can feature the taste of the pepper while negating some of the heat. Or even see if the taste is worth messing with. Should be interesting, at least to me.
btw ben, I'm damn sure not going to be able to use all of the peppers that I will produce in the next coming months, I would be happy to mail you some kind of hellsauce or fresh fruits so you can pull dares on your co-workers or bring them to a bbq were people are drinking or something.
Same goes for anyone else here, who might be interested in peppers or sauce. As long as you're not a well-hated member (since I pay the shipping), I have no problem clearing people's curiosity/colon.

Haha, I don't just chomp down on bhuts with breakfast or anything, my favourite sauce combo is ghost/habanero/thai chili and I just tend to use it with things often but not in an absurd quantity.
Again, their flavour is amazing, I don't eat them out of machismo. It's almost fruity. I will put some aside in a small sample vial for you, to include with any fruits I mail once they're grown out.
edit: ed curry, however, does indeed eat carolina reapers as a staple in his diet. his tolerance must be insane.

I just ordered bhut jolokia and white habanero seeds.
I learned that little jib about ed from this video on the HP48 "death strain" which is something I never want to cross paths with.

I just ordered some Chocolate Scorpions, Yellow 7-pots, Giant Red 7-Pots, and Naga Jolokias.
I think I'm set on pepper seeds for the forseeable future and ready for spring to come. I will start constructing my raised beds soon and might add a tutorial on how I do outdoor stuff.

Sham87 said: Ha nice! WHere do you order from?
The yellow ones are from Ed Currie's seed company 'puckerbutt'. He's the guy that developed the carolina reaper.
The other ones are from http://www.rareseeds.com/ - Havn't had the opportunity to explore the rest of the site but I feel like they probably have other cool shit that I'll want to order from them

No problem, if you want some White Hab seeds let me know. They sent me a lot more than I expected them to, like at least 30.
