Hi, I love growing chillies for my own culinary purposes, anything from capsicums to naga's and habinero's. Last year I was lucky enough to procure some very rare Amarillo Bombilla chillies from a friend in Madrid. These are round, yellow "cherry" chillies, piquant rather than blazing hot, but with a great flavour that lends itself to the moorish north african and southern spanish regional dishes in which they are predominantly used. I had only ten seeds, but the plants yielded well, despite the piss poor english weather and my very basic window-ledge growing techniques and as a result i have a couple of hundred seeds. As I say these are quite rare, hard to find much of a mention of them even on the interwebs; So if anyone is interested in helping the strain survive I am happy to chuck a few seeds in the post to people who are really comitted to growing them and passing them on to friends. Just let me know.

Whats your favourite HOT HOT sauce ?? -

MINE Is Naga Snake Bite




Masochists and chile-heads have a British stockbroker to thank for unleashing Naga Snake Bite Sauce on the world. The fiery brew is made from what some claim is the world's hottest pepper. According to the sauce's creator, Mark McMullan, the naga morich chili clocks in at a breathtaking 1,598,227 Scoville Heat Units, beating out the bhut jolokia chili. In any case the dorset naga hasn't been certified by Guinness, while the bhut jolokia has.

The finer points of world records aside, one thing's for sure McMullan has created one blisteringly hot sauce. To give an idea, the dorset naga is 300 times hotter than a jalapeno. The pepper's name derives from the naga, a snakelike creature from Indian mythology. This may explain why the label claims the sauce is "Like drinking cobra venom." I don't think cobra venom is spicy, but it's certainly deadly.

Apparently McMullan thinks the sauce is potentially dangerous since he asks that folks ordering the sauce paste a disclaimer into their e-mails. Among other things it states: "I, the prospective purchaser of Naga Snakebite 'Private Reserve', hereby release thechileman from all liability with respect to damage or claims of injury resulting from the misuse or over consumption of this product."
It would seem that British newspaperman Owen Amos did not read the disclaimer. He downed a teaspoonful of it in a taste test and likened it to chewing hot coals. Although he did say that before the Scoville assault hit, he detected a fruitiness. I can't even begin to imagine the endorphin rush he must have got from downing that amount

update ----

THINGS GOING GREAT ! Starting to get busy ! Germinating The Bhut Jolokia, Dorset Naga, Chocolate Habonero, and chiltipin. Finshed germinating the Scotch Bonnett red and have transplanted to seedling cups ... Trinadad scorpion will be on next list !

How is this..... i think that CHILLI could be as profitible to me as MJ, If every plant i grows average 3ft in hieght and produces an average of 100 pods per season, 24-50 seeds per pod so lets average at 35 seeds per pod.. 3500 seeds sold in bundles of 15 = 233 packets @ $8ea = $1866 per 3 ft plant per season................. be f@#ked if I can get over 1/2 pound off one 3ft MJ plant !
Yes you have a few other costs but that equates to about $300 in the end to sell and it takes alittle longer !

exactly why i said your prices seem kinda excessive... there ARE better deals out there... i would rethink my prices/quantities if i was doing this.... many seed companies sell pepper seeds by weight.... thats how i buy them... 3-4$ for 1-200 seeds.... muuch better than $8 for 15...

I agree.. In the US and UK markets these types of chilli are MASS produced.... It is illegal to import chilli seed into Australia so market here has remained WIDE open... the average pricing here is around $8 ($3.50 US app)... so at the moment thats what I will sell at till i have a mass of stock.
4 days - 10 orders .... one of which was w`sale for 2000 seeds. (which i am sneaking through registered post..lol )
I wish we had access to those prices.... for my pupose...BUT if that was the case I could make the dollars !

Though - I have had a order from the US.........??????:blsmoke: - for 4 packets of different types!
