![]() At last, my dream has (at least in partial) come to fruition. My generous mother gave me, among other things...this small collection of pepper seeds: ![]() ...and a closer look at the three yellow packets: ![]() Bhut Jolokia, the hottest peppers in the world. 1 Million Scoville units!!! I plan on making oils and pastes with the resulting fruit--and of course giving some out to the terminally daft. The less hot habanero and New Mexican varieties will be for my mom once they germinate.Germination is very difficult with these Jolokia, glad I have all the equipment. I just need to wait until I have room in my veg chamber to start up on these babies. I'll update this thread from time to time. | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Huzzah! Many of the little ones have broken through. I thought these were gonna take a lot longer to pop. We're looking at a little better than a week here... left side ![]() right side ![]() The first 3 columns of 5 starting from the left are the NuMex mix, next 15 are Bhut Jolokia, the last 4 columns are split with 10 Red and 10 Orange habanero, respectively. | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Yeah, it was great, and kept in the fridge way longer than Habs usually do. Supersonics lasted a month I'll bet, too, must have been fresh picked that day. Haven't been back here in a while.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Yeah, I've had fresh habaneros and they pack a punch...but if the Jolokia's are like what I've been reading and hearing and seeing...your endorphins run out before the heat goes away. | ||
