I Successfully Grew The Hottest Peppers In The World

[@davidzhang8764]

One of us! Peppers are amazing as container plants, a 5 gal bucket is almost no different than planting in the ground.

[@growithjessie]

AGREED!!!

[@pokemonfan706]

I'm still pretty young and can't grow these myself but when i am older you've inspired me to grow special fruits and vegetables too!

A spicy child for a spicy mother

exactly

[@DigitallyRemasteredMusic]

I feel like your my sister from another mister! :D Because for as long as I can remember I have always kept seeds from my fruit. Still to this day I germinate anything I can. My window has 2 lemon trees, and orange tree, 3 pineapples, many cactus, avocados. And in my very small patio garden I have garlic, onions and potato's growing (though I literally just keep them there as a plant because the pollinators love the flower). I also have a blackcurrent tree which gives lots of juicy blackcurrents and a couple of apple trees which are about 4 years old and are still quite small, they are so slow! All my plants are grown from supermarket bought fruit and veggies.

[@Dannycooper-t4f]

you are so good at groing plants

[@growithjessie]

Thank youuuuu

[@mikki_s1100]

Pepper X was super recently certified by Guinness as the new hottest pepper! Great video, I’m hoping to grow some peppers soon

[@koyakream]

pepper x sounds so intimidating😭

[@JNouveau]

Did Elon musk come up with that name?

[@mikki_s1100]

@@JNouveau nope, the creator of the pepper Ed Currie named it. He also made the Carolina reaper. It took 10 years of pepper breeding to make pepper X as it is now, it’s 2.69million scoville! For comparison a scotch bonnet is between 100,000-350,000 scoville

[@growithjessie]

OMG. I need to get one

[@growithjessie]

hahahahha good one!

[@destineemead8604]

Yayy! So neat! I wish my family liked peppers so I could grow them. The only time they'll even eyeball a pepper is on a pizza and that's Only banana peppers

[@growithjessie]

GROW THEMM

[@acgray1972]

Habanero is my favorite

[@cindyroy8872]

In Quebec, we have snow today, so I don't think you will have any bell peppers... But if you want to try, it is possible to overwinter your peppers since they are perennial! You just have to cut the branches at 2 inches of the node of the principal stem and bring them inside!

[@growithjessie]

THAT IS AWESOME! i did that this year for the winter

[@NASA_BOY1234]

Pepper X is the true spiciest pepper

[@walterl322]

Last year I grew some habaneros, got one tiny little pepper that never ripened and just fell off... gonna try this year again, the plan is to grow habaneros and jalapeños (cuz they're my favorite peppers) together in a big box, also to plant them in february, I've also set up a compost bin, so, wish me luck I may also plant beans or lentils in the box before february to improve soil conditions Also, a fun fact, apparently most of the capsaicin is concentrated in the white bits inside of the pepper, not the seeds as I used to think

[@eshontii]

this is soooo cool!!! bow i wanna tryyy lol

[@growithjessie]

thank you so much! try it! update me??

[@XinnaBun]

I absolutely love pickled peppers❤ My grandpa's recipe was the reason I started eating spicy food✨

[@PorkMcBeans]

Ghost peppers are used to line perimeters of yards and neighborhoods to keep elephants out

[@growithjessie]

OMG i love that. where?!

[@vancetillum3246]

There is now a new hottest pepper in the world - Pepper X. I can't wait to watch you grow those!

[@growithjessie]

OMG actually?

[@jorgecintron481]

I just subscribed 🎉

[@growithjessie]

Aww thank you so much

[@DH-iv1ut]

You should pluck off the flowers when the plants are small. The plants can get bigger that way and you have a bigger and better harvest. But I´m happy that you found the wonderful pepper world. There are many peppers that are spicier than the reaper because nobady should consider Guiness as granted (you need to pay thousands of dollars to be in this book). I started not that long ago and now have over 100 varieties.

[@growithjessie]

Thank you so much for this advice! I will definitely do this! I just brought my peppers inside to see if i can grow them indoors, so I will try this

[@DH-iv1ut]

Nice, I set up a hydroponic system for my peppers and they are doing great and over the winter time they will produce some fruits @@growithjessie

[@RayrayMCrews]

Those peppers aren't food they're weapons! 🥵🔥

[@growithjessie]

quite literally!!

[@ahmadfaezuddin177]

We used to grow scotch bonnet for fun in our yard . Its more like a decoration than for consumtion . We never even tasted it . Why ? Because our chicken just take one peck on it and dont bother it anymore . Our chicken ate our bird eyes chillies like snacks but totally avoid the scotch bonnet . That when we know its not a chilli for normal people (us) to eat.

[@growithjessie]

Hahaha next time try it and lmk how it makes the chicken taste

[@acgray1972]

Hot wax? We call um banana peppers. I buy them at the store and buy a jar if them. Then eat them. Save the liquid!! Then put fresh sliced in the jar with the liquid!! The best!

[@amandapittar9398]

Did you know that there is a chilli based ointment which is form of anti inflammatory? You have to use gloves to apply it, but it can be very effective for some people. Chilli can also widely vary depending on the growing conditions. My SIL sprinkled slices of what she thought were red capsicum from the garden over a salad. I popped a nice big piece in my mouth and crunched down. I thought I was going to die. I don’t mind spicy food, but this was debilitating, I could hardly breathe. I ate about 500mls of ice cream and threw it up trying to come right. I was still feeling ill 24hrs later. She tried a tiny bit of the capsicum and was appalled. It was just the one fruit. Off one bush. All the rest were fine. Bizarre. 😮😮

[@growithjessie]

that is amazing, thank you so much for letting me know

[@Slider93]

That's certainly one way to make girl say "oh yes"

[@growithjessie]

hahahha

[@katamine11]

Girl take the stems off before crushing them 😭

[@Gamerizez]

The ghost pepper is not very hot it’s really like the 10th hottest pepper from many many years ago.

[@1ntwndrboy198]

The guy that came up with reaper and x has 9 other hotter ones 😮

[@swapnasaradhirayala222]

I’m an Indian

[@Blushberryofficial]

👹SpIcY👹

[@growithjessie]

SPICY

[@acgray1972]

U should be wearing gloves when handling peppers. Maybe remove stems.

[@Temmie321]

Carolina reapers are not even the hottest peppers anymore, and that is scary!

[@marcussmith6507]

Not the hottest in the world but still hot

[@growithjessie]

hehehehehe
