Just wondering any one else grow them?

I've had it as another hobby for years.

Grown most of the super hots and when I've made stuff with them burned a few mouths!

Grown a few plants. Quite often they do ok outside (though I was growing them in Cheshire)........ Never managed realy hot chillies, but the fruits grew huge!

Yer well most are, a few of the super hots are harder as they can be fickle with temperatures.

"I've grown jalepenos and savina habeneros(these are really hot) my next project is Trinidad Scorpions they are the current worlds hottest peppers."

I've got 8 in a hydro system to support them over winter.

There not the hottest chillies but there not far off.... If I'm chopping them I have to wear gives cos it gives as my skin has a reaction to oils.

Bloody tasty tho!

(oh and if you indulge in your other hobby soon after... Make sure you clean the oils off your hand... Ouch!)

Grow them every year along with bell peppers, tomatoes, herbs and cucumbers.

Grow them in large pots outside but usually start them off in a tent.

Hits can be harder to grow. On the tricks I use to germinat them is to put the seeds in a small bag with some wet toilet roll in. This should be put in a warm (constantly) place. Tho this way can still take time. Up to 4 weeks!

One way of acheiving this is to dry them after you pick them.
