Wow these were hot. They were amazing in our homemade hot sauce and also in salsa. Lots of pods, we grew them in pots and they did very well.

I always have good luck growing these. The plants are healthy, loaded with peppers, and produce peppers that are consistent in size and heat!

Mediocre germination rate but top drawer fruits

I started experimenting with ghost peppers last year as a way to supplement my Hatch chili pepper fetish. I had about a 75% germination rate but of the plants that did produce I was treated with wonderful spoils. But we won't talk about the next day, will we. ;-) The germination rate may or may not be my soil conditions but I did compost my garden first.

Glad you liked these peppers! Super hots like Ghosts are a little more fickle when it comes to germination, and 75% is not bad at all. Warmth and consistent moisture helps improve germination of the super hot peppers, we like to use a seedling heat mat to keep them around 80-90˚ F for best sprouting conditions. Happy growing!

Best Ghost Peppers

These seeds nearly all germinated with a heat mat, and grew into healthy ghost pepper plants that had lots of ghosts for picking! They were great in salsa and I made a batch of hot sauce from them, too.

Ghost Peppers are my new favorite!

These ghost are wicked hot and super tasty. Great productive plant, wish my season was a little longer or I'd started earlier as they weren't all ripe when we got our first snow, so I picked them. Made them into delicious hot sauce.

Best Ghost Pepper Seeds!

Thank you for the great seeds, we had great germination, healthy plants and a great harvest for our hot sauce!

TASTY

GREAT SEEDS, GREW INTO LARGE PLANTS LOADED WITH GHOST PEPPERS. THANK YOU!

Best Bhut Jolokia Seeds

We grew three of these Bhut Jolokia plants last year, the plants were nice and bushy and had lots of pods. We used them to make fermented hot sauce. We've grown these before from other sources, but didn't have as good of germination as these Bhut Jolokia seeds. I plan to grow these every year from here on out.

Best Ghost Pepper Seeds

I had great success growing these Ghost Pepper seeds - almost every seed sprouted. Next year, I'll just use one seed per starter pod. These have great heat and great flavor, perfect for making my fermented hot sauces. Very productive.

100% Germination!

I had to write in, as I've been growing super hot peppers for years, and I only heard of Sandia Seed last season so this summer was the first season I tried your seeds. Sure glad I did! Nearly every seed I planted sprouted, I usually put two seeds per pod, so I carefully pulled the extra seedling in each pod and put it it's own pod. So instead of having 4-5 plants, I had 9! I shared a few with some fellow chileheads and planted the rest in my garden. I am surprised, as hot pepper seeds don't usually have such good germination.

These Ghost pepper seeds also grew into nice sized plants with a great harvest of peppers, the pods were beautifully red and HOT! I dry them each year to store, and then crush into salsas (in moderation) for a great flavor and spicy kick. I will be growing these every year, thanks for the super viable seeds.
