    Yes, clearly not pure Ghosts...but they do have some blistery skin, so I'll hazard a guess and say a cross.

    Devils Tongue or Dorset Naga?

    Neither of those from what I've seen.
    But that most recent pod certainly looks like a Hab of some sort.

    I agree with Josh. Look "kinda" like a Habanero but there are some signs of a Super Hot also...ghost or other. Habs don't have the blistery skin. They are nice and smooth. The color also has the makings of a Hab.

    Well, are you familiar with the difference in flavor between a Habanero and a Scorpion pepper? If yes, give that ripe one a try!

    Perhaps I need to get new glasses, but I don't see any "blistery skin".

    WHat Josh just said... If all you need is one one glass of milk, then it's a hab. If you need milk, ice cream and cheese, then it's a scorpion. LMAO

    Btw, I think hab also, but I'm not the greatest at pod I.D.

    The original poster's first pic almost looks like they have blistery skin, but the follow-up pics look like standard Hab with little chance of a cross imho.

    Here are two different F1 Hab / Ghost crosses i grew out back in 2011:

    The pod on the top was a cross from one plant and typical, the pod on the bottom was a cross from the other plant, also typical. The two middle pods are standard Ghost peppers thrown in for comparison. Heat & taste was somewhere between a Ghost and Habanero, and def hotter than a Carribean Red and Yellow Fatalli.

    I think I'm happy either way. The plant is doing really good. lots of new flowers started coming out. I'll let you guys know when I get the courage to try them out.

    Now there is a second batch growing on the plant and they look different.

    Here is how the plant looks

    The second batch look like Trinidad Scorpion peppers. Though may not be as defined of a tail as the one in my pic it may be because of yours being a cross of some sort.

    That new green pod, indeed, screams Scorpion! ;-)

    Now don't get me wrong here, I have a Naga Viper plant, actually 4 of them and they look identical to that bushy plant you just posted. Whats even funnier, I posted in a different thread that the first peppers im picking are "true" Naga Vipers, they look amazing, but the ones ontop are TOTALLY DIFFERENT! They look somewhat like yours, its insane ive never seen anything like this before.

    Check this out. Here is a Naga Viper on my plant

  • PepperGuy222

    Same plant. Check this bad boy out!

    And here is the best picture, is is absolutely insane. On the same plant as the others. Maybe this is why the Naga Viper is very inconsistent...
