From my somewhat limited experience, i think i'm ultimately going to be focusing on Scotch Bonnets and similar varieties.... but the super-hots just look so dang mean, and they are truly a marvel, representing the confluence of mother nature and human engineering and the incredible shit we're capable of...LordHill said:

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.
chinense Trinidad Scorpions vs 7Pots--flavor comparison??
- Thread starter Bicycle808
- Start date
There's always the new Obeah, half Scotch Bonnet, half Reaper and roughly Red Savina like in heat.
I grow a few supers just to keep people in check when they come over saying they can take hot peppers no problem. Reapers, brown moruga, primo.. I can teach them a lesson lol..
Tried for Bennetts this season, couldn't get any to germ. Only other variety I had trouble with germination was orange habs, took of 20 seeds planted (2 per tray) only 1 plant arose. It's covered in pods so I will have fresh seeds for next season to hopefully do better.

What's your germination strategy?LordHill said:
I started with paper towel nonsense. Switched to just regular seed trays. I got 100% on everything I planted. 2 seeds per tray. Some I even split the world sprouts to double some varieties. Just orange habs and Scotch bonnets that gave me trouble. I have since switched to jiffy dome for ease
Update: I took everyone's advice, and got a SFRB from a member here, complete with several varieities i'm interested in.
i ate me a yella TS CARDIs. It was very hot; a whole heap hotter than anything else i've eaten, which i was aware of academically, but i don't think i realized just how incredibly hot it was gonna be til i experienced it. But yeah, before that searing heat set in, i gotta say, it tasted rather bitter compared to other chinense i've had. I'm feeling certain i watched a review where someone said that, but i can't recall who. Not entirely convinced that it wasn't some kind of placebo effect, but it scarcely matters b/c EVERYthing faded once the fire hit.
So, yeah.... i wasn't that impressed with the flavour, but i saved seeds anyway b/c, to be honest, it's just an incredibly hott looking pod. Just a killer l'il pepper to behold. And, yeah, i got me some 7pot seeds coming, so... i'll cross that bridge when i come to it.
