@sundevilaz78 Hi, I got the seeds about 4 yrs ago.I think I paid about $10 for the seeds.It was money well spent.I'm growing mine in pots in a good quality potting mix.I'm sure they'd do well in your part of the world.My pots are in the shade at the moment,producing quite a few pods.Good luck, if you acquire some seeds or seedlings.take care,I hope I'll ttyl. cheers
Great story. I grew the bhut's and the nagas a couple of years ago. Last year I grew the nagas alone - they just seem to do better for me. I always dehydrate my peppers and we have the same experience, with the fumes and having to vacate the premises. The wife and kids are never quite as happy with the whole deal as I am. Nice looking peppers you have there. Thanks for posting.
Your Bhut Jolokias look marvelous! I live in North Florida and tried raising Naga Moriches on the perimeter of my vegetable garden to help ward off furry little poachers. I read somewhere that this technique is used in India with success. Well, I didn't have good results, so I now grow them in pots on the back porch. This spring, I want to try my hand at raising some Trinidad Scorpion Butch T's. - Cheers -
@iStreetglide WOW, thanks for that, I read that also,apparently they use chilis to keep the elephants out.It might all be an urban myth.Good luck with those butch T's.lol.I haven't bothered acquiring those seeds.I know I should....anyway take care, cheers4now
Nice video! They look healthy! I'm also inspired to grow these wonderful plants. And sure try them! I have only one question about it.. Does it die after 1 year, or does it stay alive for a long time. Thank you!
@McgregorKLB Thank YOU, yes, they'll stay alive for a few years. Just prune them back in the cold weather after it finishes fruiting, I have mine in pots, just put a good amount of organic extra on & some extra mulch in the spring & keep them watered & watch them grow. It doesn't hurt to raise a few more young ones in case you want to share some young plants with other "chili heads".Plus to keep your own plant young.You'll get more fruit then you'll ever need.Thanks again.cheers
@Mirewood Hello there, I think you might have them in the best spot. We're in a sub-tropical area here, so I'm not sure about severe winters. I think if you can stop them from freezing, you should be right. I just harvested my first pods since our short winter & the first ones since this video. Well, good luck with yours. keep in touch. cheers
@nephildevil IC, Mother Nature wants the seeds to be distributed by birds, not mammals, birds have no heat receptors. When mammals pass the seeds, they wont germinate. The colder rated chilis seem to have a lot more seeds so the plant can sacrifice a lot of its fruit to us mammals. The chilis with only a few seeds need more heat so us mammals wont eat as many, leaving more of the fruit for the birds to eat & distribute the seeds far & wide so the species survives. That's amazing.
@nephildevil Thank you, it took me ages to type that so it made some kind of sense. But it's amazing when you study nature how everything has some kind of strategy to ensure the species survives. Thanks again, bye
@mugsyjeff Yeah they get you thinking in directions never imagined possible, a while ago I was pondering wether the Datura had carnivorous ancestors that maybe ate mosquitos. The thornapple grows in sandy soil and blooms at night, and if you touch the flowers they close, so maybe they could trap a bug. the thornapple of course isnt a carnivore plant, but a few millions yrs ago in evolution ..who knows. You just can't find that kind of info of plant prehistory online anywhere, too bad.
Great video,It does make you wonder though what insects are brave enough to pollinate those and I hope it's not your bees!!!Honey with a bite is not what you'd want lol.
@tappakeggaday1 Thanks for that, There's no problems for the insects, it's only mammals including us that can feel the heat because we have heat receptors.Sometimes these chillies get riddled with grubs, i used to wonder how they did it until i read that part about only mammals being able to feel the heat.anyway good to hear from you. i'll catch ya later, bye for now.
@stepheninva Wow, you must admit, they have a fantastic flavor if used sparingly.One thing about them, you don't need many to keep yourself in chili for any dish you want to add the flavor of chili to.I found your channel & see you keep bees, fantastic, anyway i'll catch ya later, bye
@mugsyjeff They do that. A very little goes a very long way. Yes I do. I believe I was searching for beekeeping when I first came across your channel.
@baconsoda Hi there Brendan, people put themselves through much pain, actually excruciating pain eating these chillies, but not me. i've had thin strips with a cracker & cheese, that gives you an idea how hot they are, i forgot to mention that i had enough of this sauce in the freezer to last more than a lifetime.If you saw my sweet chili sauce video, 4 of these chillies would make that sauce quite hot. to say the least. anyway i'll catch ya later Brendan, cheers...
You are so lucky to be able to grow chilis outside. I have to put them in a small lean-too green house. I put in a hot chili mix so I don't know what types I will get.
@OldGardenerGuy Fantastic, good to hear from you, well you should get a good variety of attractive plants.Any habanero types will have a nice flavor, anyway take care old garden guy, cheers for now.... one old garden guy to another. lol
how much do they cost?
do they grew in any kinda of soil or alternatively green houses?

@SAK59 Thanks for that :), it's all good fun. I can't believe I'm still growing these, considering how many I have in the freezer.

G'day Jeff...I think your your theory on the seed numbers v heat ratio makes perfect sense! Talk to you soon, Jay

Nice video Jeff. I grew 4 plants of ghost chilis last year to put in fresh salsa. Never ever again. I like heat but these were way too much for me.
