Ghost peppers

[Traffic_Cop]

Anyone know where i can buy fresh ghost peppers in Calgary? Aka Bhut Jolokia. I know you can get the dried ones at Sobeys, but they are nowhere near as hot as the fresh ones.

The very thought of that makes my mouth hurt haha, what do you plan to make with them?

If you rehydrate the peppers they get way hotter, also I picked up some scorpion peppers. 2 million scoville, I made a salsa and my pee hurt for 2 days, 2 days of blistering pee, but it was Amazing.

Hahaha. I ate something called the "Sicilian Scorcher" a few years back at an Italian joint. I was hug in to spice at this time and I could barely eat it. Couple hours later after getting home I went to take a piss and it burned soooo bad! I thought I had something wrong with me until I realized it was from the spice. I didn't know it made your pee spicy too. It was so bad, haha.

This I've gotta try!

[bourge73]

You guys are friggen nuts lol. Aren't Habaneros
or Scotch Bonnets hot enough ? Lol. They hurt me bad
could imagine the pain from these ...

[cancer man]

use gloves when cutting and don't touch the wife if you didn't.
never seen a woman scream and run so hard.
T and T next week sometimes but they are dehydrated .
I strongly recommend against them like i was told but had to try.
Brutal heat and you will not taste the food.
Keep yogurt on the side .
I'am a sucker for it but i will tone down the peppers significantly.
First time user cut one and take a lick. :guns: :guns:

Try this place

I only went there once but when I was there they have a great selection of hot peppers from different places. Even had a big selection of this curry pouches.

They are at the corner of Barlow and Sunridge way just besides the Tim's and Mcd

[theken]

Do tell...

[suntan]

Safeway sometimes has them.

[flipstah]

Don't they make pepper spray with these?

[Traffic_Cop]

Revive!!! Anyone tried growing these in Calgary?

[spikerS]

not ghost peppers, but a buddy of mine bought a small hydroponics kit and grew those little red chillies and dried them out. Fuck, those things were pretty hot. I would imagine you could do the same for ghost peppers.

Yup, 3 plants in my front porch, we've struggled - they're about a foot tall now starting to push flowers.

No idea if I'll get fruit this year - they were surprisingly hard to get to get started...

Hey Andy. I have one plant. It flowered then most of it flowers dropped. Now the plants turning yellow.

Are you using full sun? Or shade?

We've got one plant growing in the planter at the house. It's not going so well. Our little Thai chilis and jalapeños went great, but the ghost pepper plant just didn't really thrive. It's just flowering now but I doubt we'll get any peppers before the end of the season. Ours is in full sun in a planter where all the other plants have done well. Not sure what the deal is. :dunno:

When you read about growing them, there are so many different suggestions and practices. Ive moved my into full sun today, and into a mini green house. Im hoping the sun then the moisture should replicate its natural growing environment. I wouldnt have to grow them if i could just find some fresh ones to buy.

Full sun feet wet and not potting mix is working thus far - I'm having better luck with some sh*t quality garden soil (lots of clay) with a huge bag of vermiculite mixed in...


This time I'm using jobe plant spikes for more consistency on the ferts, they're doing OK... Read that a greenhouse scenario is likely needed for humidity and to get hot hot...

I just picked up a small one. Its a tad bigger than the plant. Was only $50. Seems to be working.

No they dont and never had. I stopped in on saturday and spoke with the manager. He wont bring them in due to the very short shelf life, and the simple fact that his staff cant touch them unless they use gloves. The hottest they carry is the Habanero and occasionally they have Scotch Bonnets.

But thanks for the lead though. Great store.

Saturday... forgot to post until now.

Looks like another location earlier in the thread has them too, so it may be a chain wide thing. I'd call your local Superstore and go from there.

Sorry bud, I wasn't able to get back to you right away. But it seems you found it! :thumbsup:

[Traffic_Cop]

R154, DENZILDON, all good boys! I got these bad boys. Thank you to you both and everyone on the thread. Gonna make some hot sauce, anyone wanna taster?

[DENZILDON]

Sure! :thumbsup:

[cancer man]

Trinidad moruga scorpion has more flavor and i think even hotter. But i'am looking for is the
Carolina reaper. Ghost peppers don't have any taste just heat..good luck to you sir.

[theken]

I'll take some hot sauce

[DENZILDON]

So I used one ghost pepper on a dish I made. Definitely one of the hottest peppers I tried. No problem eating but the aftermath lingers for a few days. Hard core toilet routines! Hahaha!

[theken]

Get into the scorpions. They are hot as fuck. I just put a 1/4 tsp in my soup. So hot, so good.
