They are all huge thats why the vendors just refer to all as Congo Peppers... They dont know the correct names... But they be specific for the 7 pots & Scorpions cause they know they are super hot and dangerous...

The Douglah is 1Mil SHU... My Plant is flowering... I hope to get some seeds soon so I can share with pepper peeps... I only have one Douglah Seed left... it is very hard to get...

Hi TriniHottie, they look fantastic. How much do you pay for the chillis at the market?

Sorry Omri! I like you and appreciate your posts. I just thought that you were a little harsh on a new member, questioning her word on first one, and then another thread.

But hey, I respect your quest for accuracy, and I agree that claims should be backed up with hard data.

I wish we had an ongoing pepper rating thread that would include only verified pepper data, and would rank peppers in order.

AJ - I wasnt thinking clearly, if I spent all that money to go to trinidad 2 grocery bags is not enough, I'd want to fill up a couple BIG duffelbags :hell::lol:

IMO thats a good price for the size & them being hot & tasty chiles (I'm assuming they taste like the congo trinidads which were great tasting)

I wonder how you'd get some bags of them back through customs ?

My problem is that if they ask me if I have any agricultural products to declare, I would probably fall down on my knees begging forgiveness, and tell them, "You Caught Me". I have to be honest when anyone asks me a question. Just my nature.

I had really rather just get the seeds and try and grow them myself.

I am trying to develop a year round "tropical" climate in my grow boxes by looking at all the environmental information available on T&T and trying to duplicate it.

TriniHottie is a key to this setup since I can pick her brain on soil types, nutrients, humidity, temperatures, etc.

lol, you and I are nothing alike.
But yeah, getting the seeds is a lot easier, but then, why would you go all the way just to get something can also get to your home?
Going all the way to Trinidad is for the fresh peppers. ;)

BTW you totally inspired me with your "grow box".
I having certain "difficulties" (My plants are dying from a disease), so maybe I'll start fresh by building one myself. :lol:
God knows I'm bored, and I need something fun to do as well. :P

01-23-2008, 10:13 AM

Lol, If I went all the way to trinidad, I don't think it would be just for peppers!

If Trini is any example, the people are wonderful there, not to mention the beaches!!!

I think I would just have to consume lots of peppers and take the seeds back here to share.

Omri, you should consider brewing beer. I love it! And I use my beer to cook with peppers. Too cool. I have some wings that NO ONE can replicate. Why? because no one else has my Habanero Ale that I use as a base for the sauce.

I agree, you can get seeds mailed to your house. I'd be shipping some pods in different packages, for just incase customs keeps one or 2, some of the packages gotta get through customs :lol: & I'd still try to smuggle pods on the plain :hell:
I wouldnt leave there with just a pack of seeds. but thats just me.

Some countries have very strict penalties if you get caught smuggling seeds, pods etc. I think you'd be better off just mailing them.

I hear enough about it on the news & in the papers that are F'ed up judicial system (theres more reason why I say its messed up besides this example) is going after anyone that supplies alcohol to minors & slap you with a fine or jail time & if that minor does something bad while under the influence from the alcohol you supplied, well you better have a good lawyer!

any place that serves or sells alcohol does not take this lightly & will do their best to prevent it. parents on the other hand walk that fineline when allowing your kid to drink or allow your kids & their friends to drink on your property.

shit you as a parent could get sued for your kid throwing a party while you were out of town & alcohol was at your house & a minor did something after leaving your house drunk. even though your out of town & didnt take part in or ok having a party there, they'll still go after you.

I started eating chilli sauce at the age of seven and ate chillis as a teenager. I think if you weren't serious about chillis you wouldn't have joined here. I was certainly mature enough at thirteen not to mess about with hot peppers as I'm sure you are- please just don't let me see you on youtube anytime trying to show off to your mates with 'How hot you can eat' and tears running down your face. Some girls prefer the blokes that can put their hands up and say 'That's too hot for me', I certainly do. Anyway, you like chillis, you eat them, thirteen or not :)

Eat all the peppers you want Cap lover, just don't say we didn't try to warn you first. Just no pranks on your unwilling friends.:mouthonfire: I'm sort of proud of the fact we have a thirteen year old among us.

I agree with PRF eat all you can handle but no PRANKS on friend's or family.I started at 7or8 years of age. My grandmother grew her own that she brought from Italy. I too think it is great to have a young man with us.
