Fun fact: This is the hottest commercially grown pepper in the world! Most ghost peppers run around the 900,000 SHU (Scoville Heat Unit) mark, but they have been recorded at over 1,000,000 SHUs! These original heirloom seeds are out of India and are the finest available.
Can you die from eating a ghost pepper? Yes, you could die from ingesting ghost peppers, but you'd need to eat a lot of them at once. Researchers have determined a 150-pound (68-kilogram) person would need to eat 3 pounds (1.3 kilograms) of ghost peppers to die.
host pepper seeds can take three weeks or longer to germinate. Before planting, soak seeds in hydrogen peroxide for a minute to increase germination success. Then, plant them in moist seed-starting mix that is between 80 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. It's critical to keep the temperature and moisture level consistent.
Most of us must start our own plants indoors about 8-10 weeks before transplanting, which should be done 2-3 weeks after the expected last frost. Most pepper seeds sprout in about a week at a temperature of 70-80 degrees F., but germination can be spotty depending on variety. Hot peppers can be very finicky.. . . . .364011234033!]0000000000000009783314147217!]
