those were a slow grow for me. so much so that they had just started growing a little pepper when the first snow hit. i live in a state where our last freeze is in late june. all my other peppers were fine though.
My brother in law had them.He started in the house,thru into direct sun and bleached one,other not so bad both lived produced peppers in sept. I believe. He harvested the peppers and is keeping the plants indoors till next year.By the way those peppers were so hot and delicious we were roasting them and putting some on steaks.Superb!
hmmm. im in climate zone 9. my intention is to plant them outdoors. I'll probably start them inside though to ensure i get a good harvest rather than wait till april (im guessing april) and hope i can harvest before the frost.
im new to the outdoor gig so this will be interesting.
also...big billy exactly how hot was just 1 pepper? Im curious (as i eat w/ habanero sauce pretty much regularly) how it stacks up. ive read up on the scoville scale and seen the habanero chili is rated in the 100,000-350,000 bracket and the ghost chili is in the 855,000-1,463,700 range.
so on paper its obviously hotter and other than the Red savina habanero (which i didnt find out about till after i ordered these) there didnt seem to be gradual transition.
ive seen way too many man v food and travel channel food shows to know the ghost chili is legit...im just wondering how legit? legit as me taking a shot of 190proof everclear and then a shot of habanero sauce or downing a bottle of habanero sauce w/ the shot of 190? lol
I made some pepper spray I dont know what kind of chillies but it makes my mouth numb. don't touch your pecker
oh thats bad ass. how did it turn out? have you found someone willing to be the test dummy?
I personally want to make hot sauce out of it. Seems like a good way to manage the level of heat. call me chicken sh*t but until i can sample it in hot sauce form im now willing to eat a whole pepper. i like hot things as much as the next person but people have gotten second degree burns in some cases! or a blister on their tongue.
one guy my cousin works with once put a drop of it on a chip and ate it. dude couldn't breathe for like 20-30 seconds and turned red/sweating badly.
pretty intense lol.
