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.

So far I've had 100% germination on any of these seeds I've planted. Extremely satisfied with my purchase and will be returning when I need more. I've always had a hard time with growing ghost peppers but had absolutely no issues with these.

I’ve successfully grown over 30 pepper plants from seed across about half a dozen different varieties, and every single one has set fruit -- except these. Not only was the germination rate poor (around 25%, which I’ve occasionally seen with rarer varieties), but the plants I did manage to raise for over a year turned out to be completely sterile.What makes this so disappointing is that I invested a lot of effort into adjusting their environment in hopes of triggering fruit production: more light, less light, higher and lower temperatures, different fertilizing schedules, drier and wetter soil -- nothing worked. The flowers never developed receptive stigmas, which means pollination is impossible and fruit will never set.After all that time and care, it’s frustrating to end up with plants that are essentially useless for growing peppers.

Good germination rates.easy to grow

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!

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.

Nice thanks

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.
