Naga Bhut Jolokia [aka: Ghost Chilli]

A few I picked this afternoon, left to right:

Jigsaw, two Chocolate Bhutlah, two Bhut Jolokia, two Big Red Mama, Bhut Orange Copenhagen, Big Black Mama.

 

So true...

 

Also painfully true.

 

This thread makes me wish I could still eat hot stuff. Alas, I don't know if I could have handled these bad boys even in my "iron stomach" days.

 

So when are you uploading the 9 pepper challenge at once, no milk for 5 minutes, video?

They look evil hot, what's your plans for them?

 

If I did it, I would probably be in the emergency room.

Evil? Maybe, these are some of the hottest peppers in the world. I am giving them to a co-worker.

 

Yea I don't think I could do anything from ghost pepper > as a challenge, those habanero whites I'm growing at 150-300k scovilles turned me into a drooling mess for 5+ mins

 

Birds eye chillies is my limit.
You lot are bloody mad. Bloody mad I tell ya!

 

That's still very hot at 100,000–225,000 Scoville units lol

 

And boy do I feel it lol. I sometimes have a hot Chinese with them in it. It just gets to the stage where it just hurts and I can't taste anything.
My eldest son loves the heat. Quite a few years ago when he was at school, he had some Ultra Death Sauce in a pot and was eating with it. Didn't realize he had some on his hand, and then rubbed his eye. I can only imagine the pain he went through. After I stopped laughing off course. Bloody idiot. Didn't put him off it all though, which is good.

 

lol yea I've gotten habanero on my hands and then touched the inside of my nose, that brings tears too

I always make sure to wash my hands before going for to the toilet though

 

These people who enter the chillie eating contests. And you see them with their mouths bleeding. I mean what can possess these folks to do it.

 

Soon....

 

Money and fame. They want that big trophy that they can sit on their shelve. But really I think they're just crazy.

 

Looks quite rude, or is it just me lol.

 

Not as rude as these (if they are real) lol

Definitely growing some next year if they are real though

 

Just discovered that my 'Scotch Bonnets' I've been waiting so patiently for, might actually be Bishops Crown peppers, not Scotch Bonnet as they were advertised

Scotch Bonnet - 100k-350k Scovilles
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_bonnet_(pepper)

Bishops Crown - 5k-15k Scovilles
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishop's_crown

Thought they were looking a bit different to pictures I'd seen... dayum lol

Try again next year.... from a different seller

 

Oh crap. I think your right. Flaming cheek selling you the wrong ones.

 

Yep, shame, and no way to know until they flower (Yellow spots on the crowns flowers) which mine have too

Might buy a few different packets of seeds from a few different sellers, plant a couple of each

Not all is lost though, White bullet habaneros are growing in abundance, loads and loads of fruit on the plant, and they are extremely hot

 

The white bullets are estimated around 300K.

Might I suggest growing Jamaican Hot Chocolate Habaneros next season?

They are in the 400K-450K range, and have a distinctive smoky flavor. They are used in Jamaica to make the jerk sauce.

Mine always produce several hundred pods per plant.
