I just pulled some peppers off my plants last night, and thought i would post a pic.
This year i had some trouble with them because my well water went bad after the last earthquake we had.
I have Scotch Bonnet, one of my favorites, and some hot lemon.
This was the first time i grew the hot lemon and they are not bad.. not as hot as the scotch bonnet, but like the habinero family, the lemon are
citrous tasting. and go good in about anything. For the most part i dry my peppers as soon as i pick them, and make sauce from a few also.
I have 2 tabasco plants that are just now turning red for me, so i will pick them next week.
Keep up the heat!

They are both flowering nicely now so hopefully I will get some peppers soon.

That's odd finding a thread here on hot peppers here. I just went to the mailbox and found the Moruga Scorpion seeds I ordered off eBay, the fellow selling them just happens to live in the same state. I've heard the pain causes the brain to release endorphins, which means you get high while suffering

I love stuffing Anaheim peppers with exotic cheeses, battered & deep fried. There's a Thai soup known as Pho Tak/Tom Yum, it's made with the little green and red peppers, lemon grass, mushrooms, tomatoes, squid and other seafood. It's so delicious it makes you happy!

Insane selection and great customer service.
Spread the heat!

Thanks! I've found a few places that sell dried scorpions, but I always love new sources and more variety!

I much prefer taste vs. singing taste buds. Habanero did that. NMSU has grown some ghost peppers...New Mexico Chile Pepper Institute. Personally, I prefer Sandia or Anaheim chiles (green chiles)....or Barker for Xtra hot....roast and peel em, add garlic powder, then freeze. A day without chile is a day without sunshine. Red or green. Like the Thai chiles, too!

I love the taste and the heat, personally, but I also try to stick to peppers that offer both. I ended up with a big stash of Thai chilies precisely because they have a great sweet floral taste while still being hot. That's also why I'm interested in the scorpions, I've been told they have a similar sweet floral taste while offering even more heat. I already have a bunch of recipes planned to try them with, including a blended homemade sriracha sauce that has my salivary glands working overtime just thinking about it.

The endorphin rush is real, and it makes a great painkiller when it hits. I discovered that effect on accident myself, but that's one of the reasons I grew to love hot food as much as I do now. And if you drink even a little alcohol, it will hit you much faster; hot peppers have a reputation as digestive aids for a reason. I even made a batch of hash chocolates with sea salt and cayenne peppers at one point, and they really hit the spot.

I love hot peppers, but anything hotter than a red savina just seems to taste more of hot chemicals (capsaicin, maybe), instead of the fruity taste upfront that I like. I've tried three (in my life) ghost peppers... the first two were true duds, but the third one made sure I would never chew, or even put another one in my mouth.
I've been overwintering a few habanero plants in a large pot for the last three years, they give me enough hot to last more than a year every season so far. I don't have such good luck overwintering annums as I do chinensis varieties.

I've never grown hot peppers from seed, is the germination process the same as MJ? I read a post somewhere, a fellow used a medicine bottle lined with sandpaper to scuff the seeds 1st. I wanna get these babies going soon!

Peppers are just as easy as MJ. Do be aware that some varieties may need as much as 1 month to germinate.
I use rapid rooter/root riot cubes.
Get wet and place on wifi germination station.
Good luck and spread the heat.

Man, what in the world is a wifi germination station? I got a germination station for Xmas from HTG supply, it has a heat mat, and a big dome with a vent at the top. I've never used it, but I guess I will pull it out soon and give these peppers a try

I was thinking exactly the same thing mate! :

 

[seraphim19]

your wifi router generates a heat similar to a heating mat so if you put your seeds on top of your wifi router you have a germination station.

I have used cable/satellite boxes as warm germination stations for years with excellent results
