Ghost Pepper Seeds- 25+"Bhut Jolokia by Ohio Heirloom Seeds

I germinated the seeds for 3 days before planting in a seedling mix. I have a grow box and put them in there. It took a bit over a week (even 2 weeks) for sprouts to appear and I got about an 85% return on sprouts to seeds planted. Our soil in this part of Florida is loaded with nematodes and I learned the hard way not to plant peppers in the ground. I did two batches of seedings and transplanted the first batch into small containers before they go into the larger pots tha will be their home. The seedlings look pretty healthy but I won't know what the yield is for at least a month or two. The seedlings are all flowering as of late April. Late July: One plant is fruiting. It's late July and one of the plants is fruiting after several months of dropping flowers. Several of my larger plants were attacked by hornworm caterpillars and nearly stripped. They'll survive but are slowed drastically. As for the fruit: I like heat but this blew my mind. I'll turn these into chili powder. I put part of one in my chili and it lit me up. I've never had a fresh ghost pepper. It is super-hot. Wow. After the hornworms came the whiteflies. They demolished everything. Finally got them under control with soapy water. The 2 largest plants are finally yielding a decent number of peppers. My tabasco pepper is fully recovered from the whiteflies. The cayenne isn't far behind. It's almost winter here in central Florida and if we don't get a freeze, I should have a pretty good crop in spring.

I planted these on the 7th of October. I placed them on a heating pad set to 85. Kept consistently moist but not too soggy and saw no germination after a month and a half. Yes, I understand this is winter; however, some of my more mature pepper seedlings are thriving indoors and I planted several other pepper cultivars at the same time, which sprouted and are growing. Most people would automatically go and leave a bad review, instead, I visited their website https://ohioheirloomseeds.com/p/about-ohs and learned about their unconditional seed guarantee. I called the owner, Mike Dehlendorf at (Six One Four) 554-4657 and told him what I had done while planting and what results it had yielded. He is professional, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, stands behind his product. He told me that 1.5 months to germinate is way too long and he would send me some replacement seeds today. I am giving a 5-star review due to his customer service. I am excited to put these in my AeroGarden Farm 24XL and see if I have better results. I can't wait to put these in some salsa with my homegrown tomatoes next year!

planted in mid may zone 7 east coast , now is July 5th , not even one seed germinated, not even one plant made it . so what happened ? I was looking forward to it. I am just not happy I spent money on these seeds and now I can not even get my money back and I can't even enjoy the peppers. Some solution from the seller would be helpful. 1 star is very generous. reconsider before buying.

Good germination rates.easy to grow

I wanted to try growing a Ghost pepper plant but have heard over and over again how difficult they are to actually get going. So I decided to give it a try, bought they, and stuck them in my fridge where I forgot about them for about 2 weeks. I pulled them out, threw them directly into a seed sponge for my iDoo hydroponic garden (I put 3 seeds in each pod because of the stories or horrible germination). Took about 10 days and guess what? 3 sprouts from each of my seed pods! Crap. 100% germination and how I have to try and separate them. Separating didn't work well because of the nature of the seed pods and rooting that happened so I trimmed two out and left just one. Little buggers took a bit to really get going but they are on a roll and look beautiful! I'll be picking up more of these for sure. Don't hesitate on these things, just get some if you're into hot peppers.

I had 100% germination rate on the seedlings I planted. They do take some time to germinate unlike other seeds to patience is key - first picture was taken 3 weeks after initially planting. The second picture was taken from last year's "tree." This is the 3rd time I have purchased from this seller and first time I have reviewed.

Terrible packaging leads to damaged seeds. The pack looked like it was run over by a truck. Most if not all seeds were damaged. Not a single one germinated. Edit: Finally two sprouts two weeks later. Fingers crossed.
