Carolina reaper chilli

[rhyswales]

Anyone ever grown this? Supposed to be the hottest chilli in the world so bought some seeds a few months ago to try out. Finally 1 germinated yesterday after about 2 months in a heated propagator

I haven't. But they are on my list for next year

A word of advice when you harvest them use yellow washing up gloves. these peppers will eat through the standard vinyl medical gloves. You might also want to wear eye protection and where mask over mouth nose to. When you cut the peppers for use do it outside; they pack real strong aroma.

Hahaha these sound particularly dangerous.

Im growing these at the moment, I used a heated propergator set at 30 degrees and they germinated in 7-10 days. I put some in seed compost and I tried some on damp kitchen paper roll and put them in a sandwich bag. They germinated well in the sandwich bag in the heated propergator.

So to grow these killer chilli's you need -

the plants
ABC suit - military quality
250 yard exclusion zone around your prep area
a urine catheter or a very close friend

Nope don't feel the need!
