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.

Seeds failed to sprout

Not happy 0/5 seeds sprouted while nearly all my other Indian pepper seeds germinated.

Didn't germinate for me with 3 different hydroponic systems waited 2 months

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.

Seeds are already sprouting in less than 2 weeks

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.

So far so good.

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!

Second time ordering

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 πŸ˜„
