So today I am making a curry, and I have some dried ghost peppers that I want to add to it.
Recipe will be roughly a gallon in volume and will be a yellow curry with beef, with no cream.
How many dried ghost should I add to the recipe? Just one? Crush it or leave whole?
The idea is that it...
Looking forward to the Death Spiral the most. Out of multiple plants, only one seems healthy... I should have known, these new strains are not very hardy at all...
I'll probably taste each and every one of them, try to breed them into OK-tasting peppers.
Those that don't taste great will be powdered and used in part as a spicing-up agent in sauces... :)
I got in touch with the guy in the video, he says it was definitely hotter than a Reaper. Like, insanely, ridiculously, off-the-chart, mind-erasingly, hot.
There's a pod tasting video here, only other info I could scrounge up, for those of you who are willing to risk FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/UrbanHydr0/videos/560060897708326/
Word from the very very few who have tasted it is that it's not big on taste but about equal to a Carolina Reaper in heat... Or more.
I, for one, can definitely use a pepper like that, if perhaps only to add to tasty sauces, without changing the taste much and adding tons of heat!
Yeah! It's a really mean-looking pod! When I got the seeds from a trade, I didn't know what they were and I assumed they might be something ordinary... Maybe a Cayenne-Jalapeno cross or somesuch... NOPE! :D
I'm pretty excited to be growing them!
Well I do, and I'm growing them... About 6 of them ATM... Will report once I have pods! :D
I have about a dozen more seeds just in case these don't do well, but so far the 6 plants are looking very healthy... :D
I have quick-root, how do I use it?
I imagine, I should wet the bottom part where it's cut, and then... Put in damp soil? In a glass of water?
Anything else I should do?
I think you are on the right track. Depending how they do, how leggy they are once they have, say 8 true leaves, you can look at pruning (or topping, as in removing just the top of the plant).
It's what I do and it works very well.
