Default New hottest pepper

I just found out that it's not ghost pepper anymore. It's Trinidad moruga scorpion. I've been groing ghost pepper for a few years now and pretty happy with it. But now I MUST grow the new pepper and really need info on reliable seed sources . If you know please post. Thanks

Actually records are ment to be broken and there are peppers that are being grown that are reportedly hotter then the Moruga scorpion such as HP22B B3 strain from ed curry heres a link to a testing that made the well known chillie heads puke after eating a pod enjoy.

well, from what I understand a lot of new records set buy unsustainable strains, moruga scorpion looks like the real deal (though a lot of people argue that butch T is hotter) So I'll pobably grow both next year if I find reliable source of seeds. It took me a while to find bhut jolokia seeds that I'm confident about. Now I have my own seeds to grow.

I would say no. The 7 Pot Douglah is king in my book. I think it's just a matter of time until the Douglah takes the record.

Yep, I love spicy food but at this level of heat I can't see enjoying it. That being said, in college I used to make a spaghetti dish called "the sizzle" that all of my friend would request. It would make sweat pour off your forehead but you couldn't stop eating it because it tasted so good.
