New hottest pepper

jamserg · July 4, 2012

I just found out that it's not ghost pepper anymore. It's Trinidad moruga scorpion. I've been groing ghost pepper for a few years now and pretty happy with it. But now I MUST

grow the new pepper and really need info on reliable seed sources . If you know please post. Thanks

well, from what I understand a lot of new records set buy unsustainable strains, moruga scorpion looks like the real deal (though a lot of people argue that butch T is hotter) So I'll pobably grow both next year if I find reliable source of seeds. It took me a while to find bhut jolokia seeds that I'm confident about. Now I have my own seeds to grow.

biscgolf · July 4, 2012

but is it really hotter from one pod to the next than the douglah???

try pepperlover.com.

Tapout · July 4, 2012

the HP22B B3 strain is 8th generation

jamserg · July 4, 2012

ok, so I'll grow 3 new peppers next season to compare

Yep, I love spicy food but at this level of heat I can't see enjoying it. That being said, in college I used to make a spaghetti dish called "the sizzle" that all of my friend would request. It would make sweat pour off your forehead but you couldn't stop eating it because it tasted so good.

it has been replaced for a while actually it was on yahoo news while back.

question, what is the diff between trinidad moruga scorpion and trinidad scorpion butch t?

Boutique Tomatoes · July 10, 2012

The Morouga has a pebbled surface, more irregular fruit form and more placental material.

Boutique Tomatoes · July 10, 2012

No, butch T is just a particular strain of the scorpion, the TS morouga is a different pepper.
