    I've order from them twice now, and only for Peters since they are hard to find elsewhere. I have about 10 Peter seeds germinating as we speak. I won't have information on germ rates or trueness for a while, but as far as their service:

    They sent me a labeled EMPTY bag this time by mistake. I contacted them via email (since a phone number isn't available) it took a couple days but they sent me a new bag no problem. So, since they corrected the mistake, no complaint there. As far as quality, again, time will tell.

    Although, I am VERY interested in grabbing some of the California Reaper seeds. I just may wait a bit longer So they can be (hopefully) a little more stable. I asked them about the stability of the Cali Reaper and this was the convo:

    And secondly, also in my shopping bag, are the California Reaper seeds. They are extremely aesthetically beautiful pods and the cross sounds like it is delicious. My question though, is how stable is this hybrid at this point? With the Carolina Reaper making its way in 2012 (as well as Jay's PGS I believe), that doesn't leave a whole lot of growing seasons to produce a super stable strain. I am nowhere near knowledgeable in hybridization but it was explained to me that it should be F7+ before being confident in the stability of the cross.


    Thank you so much for your time!

    Hi Randy,


    Steve Bender, who developed the California Reaper, worked on the project year round as he used hydroponics to expedite the process. Although he is still working on the complete stabilization, most of the peppers will resemble peach colored Carolina Reapers, but some may still take on the look of the Peach Ghost Scorpions. We decided to release the seeds to the public after high demand from our customers.


    So, there's my experience with them. I mainly chose them because of the Peters, and that they are located in Southern California, as am I.
