Pepper (Hot) - Ghost Chili/Bhut Jolokia 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥵
Description
Description
The Ghost Chili Pepper (Bhut Jolokia) may look like a little wrinkled whoopee cushion, but this pepper is no joke. Native to India, it’s one of the hottest peppers in the world. This 2"-3" conical fruit ripens from green to orange to red, with a sweet, fruity flavor that you’ll be able to taste for about 30-45 seconds until the heat creeps in and lights your mouth on fire. And then it gets really hot for 10-15 minutes, finally subsiding after 30-40 minutes. Take care when handling, as the thin skin tears easily.

Great so far- planted 12 and all have sprouted
Not happy 0/5 seeds sprouted while nearly all my other Indian pepper seeds germinated.
I've used three different hydroponics systems and none of them germinated these ghost peppers for me, waited 2 months approximately. My other pepper seeds have germinated except for these ones. The packet only contains about 6 seeds. Therefore, it is a bummer when none of them germinates.
Half of the seeds didn’t germinate.
I planted this batch of seeds in my hydroponic unit and 11 days later I have sprouts. The seedlings are all about 2 inches tall now at the 15 day mark. They are doing really well so far. Will be planting them in the garden when it is time.
2 weeks. No germination. (Yet)
Planted the seeds a few weeks ago and just about all seeds have popped up, but still a long ways to go. As long as I don’t screw things up I should have peppers in about 3 months!
didn't grow
I ordered ghost pepper last year. Only got one to germinate (got TONS of ghost peppers, too many I knew what to do with!) this time I got just about all of them to germinate! Fantastic company, won’t order from anywhere else. Bad seeds? Contact costumer support, they’ll fix everything 😄
Very fast shipping and the seeds look great, can't wait to eat the first one.
