Hot Pepper 'Carolina Reaper'

Wish I could write a positive review of these, but of the 10 seeds I planted the first time I tried growing them only 2 seeds (from pucke...Read Morerbutt) germinated and both died very soon after. Other seeds from them were fine. Next year, same thing. A couple more germinated but they all died right after. Other peppers including trinidad moruga scorpion were doing fine right next to them so I don't know if it was a bad batch of seeds or they need some stranger growing conditions than what's normal for every other hot pepper or what. Seeds were left in the soil until the other plants were ready to transplant 2 months after they had all germinated so I doubt there were any late-comers.

Anyway, the bad rating is for these seeds. If they germinate that slowly / poorly they should be sending a lot more per packet than they do. If it was a fluke sorry about that but I'm not taking up more of the limited space trying again.

I got some of these seeds from pepper joes I'll be giving them a try here soon, will update as I have the info.

I heard about this plant one year ago on another forum regarding it was supposed to be the new world record scoville unit holder.At that ...Read Moretime it was reported by Pepper Joe and a man Ed Curry that reportedly were waiting for confirmation from the Guiness World Record authoritys.This was one year ago and now I see on the Pepper Joe site that it is the worlds record holder and on a Puckerbutt(Ed Curry).A lot of buzz regarding it.Does anyone know about this claim?I know people are buying it up at $9.99 per 10 seeds.The last I looked at the Guiness site for 2012 there is no information or mention of this pepper.Please correct me if I am wrong.
