The Ghost Chili has been knocked down to 2nd place with this new hot pepper from Australia. One of there secrets was using 'Worm Juice' from a local farm to help enhance there soil substrate. P.S. I want some seeds if anyone knows where to get them. Here's the link to the article.

Do they judge the pepper as a whole by multiple trials to judge hottest or is it THE hottest found.
The only reason I ask is that heat can be manipulated in pepper plants. I've made jalapenos hotter than habaneros by simply letting the plants dry out right before fruit maturation & then flooding the plant. This will increase the scvl. unit greatly.

Just saw it on yahoo the other day. Its the hottest pepper ever recorded in scholeville units. Unfortunately for me last year we had very little sun up here. I had peppers with no heat. I enjoy growing jalepeno's, they can get down right hot if grown in the right conditions like you said Huff. We had an awefull tomato year last year also. I have used Worm juice on jalepenos before and they love it.

Hot enough curt. I grew them in the style I stated above last year & put a whole one in a tunafish sandwich. Needless to say after 45 minutes of hell I was almost ready to call it & ask to be hit in the head so I couldn't feel it.

Everyone, beware...these thing are way HOT!!! First story I heard about Ghost Chili's went something like this...native folks used "one" in a 300 gallon pot of chicken soup, for a festival in their home town!!! Most people could/would not eat it!!!! Wear gloves!!! LOL Peace, Wayne
