The pods are bigger, longer and thicker than the Red Trinidad Scorpion at 4” dia. Plants are 36” tall.

Capsicum chinense strains require a great deal of attention during the germination process. Moisture and a constant and consistent heat range must be maintained. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, bright light and keep moist at all times. Seeds will germinate in 7 - 21 days.

Nuclear hot!!

Don't cut these up without some eye protection and gloves, woo boy! Makes a bomb hot sauce!
Thanks for the great seeds, I had good germination with the heat mat. (7 out of 10 sprouted, which for super hots, was pretty good).
