Hot pepper selection

[TheOtherOne]

Ok, so like many of you, this time of year is my seed hoarding time. I use a lot of my plants for medicinal reasons, and this one is no exception. My significant other makes a tincture of these peppers to help with back pain, Chile habanero seems to have been the most successful for us in the past. This year I was looking to cultivate about 5 hot pepper plants for the tincture (possibly more, we do love that mexican food!) Other traits I need to have is Heirloom status, and a rating of 300,000 scoville or higher. We're in a near desert climate during the main growing season.
Is it possible anyone could point me toward such a strain? I was looking into carolina reaper, and maruga scorpion, but both are hybrids.
I haven't figured out if the devil's tongue is or not. it seems like if it where stable it would fit the ticket nicely.

I'm growing a few bih jolokia and butch Taylor Trinidad's as well as a few baccums and other every day eaters. The chinensis vars are very hot and need a hot dry summer to fruit well. They are hybrids but breed true.

Check on dry summer. I've read that the chin's are pretty hot, I think the carolina reaper I was originally eyeballing is one... will it breed true as well? In the presence of sweet peppers like hungarian wax ?

As I read from the Wikipedia, the 2013 Guinness Record is Carolina Reaper's with average of 1,569,300 SHU (Scoville Heat Units) and the hottest second is Trinidad Moruga Scorpion with more than 1.2 Million SHU (average). But individual scores are different.

Here's the chart of Scoville ratings of peppers : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoville_scale#Scoville_ratings_of_peppers

Thanks for the link! I've been scanning over this site and amazon looking for the best strain this morning. I think the climate here is perfect for them, a lot of mexicans I know have grown some pretty evil peppers here in the valley. I'm going to have to settle on one type to fit my 2014 seed budget.

Do not know if they have any that you can use but all Heirloom seeds.

Some of those peppers are very beautiful. Ornamental even in my mind. Nice find ishi, and thanks.

Really any of the peppers from Trinidad will do the trick. 7 pod red/yellow, the scorpions. They are landrace varieties.

I like it hot. Four years ago I have acquired Red Savina (habenero) pepper. I grow it since than from my collected seed and is so far the best hot pepper I have tested.
Every year I have around 20 plants and I left them open pollinated. It is not so scary hot like it was first year but still hot, hot, hot...

I make my sauce every year and friends ask me for some "tobasco". I also have some yellow habanero which is only hot, without any taste and aroma.

Red Savina:



I can trade some seeds if you like.

Maks,
What a pretty sight your pepper plant is! You have my taste buds practically salivating right now!

Here's an excellent pepper seed company and pepper pods.
