ID my "Ghost" please

12 years ago

Hello again folks, I waited for a few of these to ripen up. I got the seeds from a reputable dealer and they were suppose to be Ghosts. I did get the real thing in a couple of my startups from the envelope, however as all three plants fruited this was one of them. Is this a Naga strain or something else? I'm not unhappy as I viewed it as a little bonus and they are hot. Thanks.

    Those are not Bhut's
    Look much more like moruga pods

    Definitely NOT a Ghost. I don't know what it is. Looks like a cross between a pumpkin and something bumpy. Tr. Congo would preserve the shape, but they aren't very bumpy...

    What else did you get from the "reputable" vendor?

    Chocolate habs and scotch bonnets. The habs were very nice and are in a hot sauce. The bonnets were small and I traded them away. This dealer will generally give you some free seeds with an order and I must say I was given free 7pot brain stains last year and they were really nice and I made some good mango sauce with them.

    To me they resemble scotch bonnet and Habanero. But more round than hab. And the shape/form is like pumpkin
    .

    Good looking pods.

    Very appropriate for this month. I have never seen those, but there are all kinds of hot peppers around.

    Do you have any flowers left? Can you post a picture of a flower?

    No flowers left. I would say the walls are medium to thin and the green peppers are a very pale green.

    Scorpion John, I just did a search on the Jonah Bhut. I watched the Fire Breathing Idiot on one of his utube pepper eating challenges. He displayed a "Lucy Pepper" (7-Pot Jonah crossed with a Naga Viper).Very, very similar with the exception of his being more red in color. Many of my pods also had the little pointed center growing out the bottom that isn't so noticeable on the ones in the photo I submitted. I believe you're right. This is the closest ID so far.Thanks.
