Trinidad Scorpion Brainstrain Yellow Chili Seeds
Information: The Trinidad Scorpion Brainstrain Yellow Chili is a variant of the Trinidad Scorpion Moruga, which won the title of the world`s hottest chili in 2012 with top scores in excess of 2 million Scoville. The Trinidad Scorpion Brainstrain Yellow was bred in the USA and has an inverted tip, an uneven surface and therefore reminds a little of a brain. They have a tropical-fruity taste and a hellish heat. Due to the thin walls of the fruit, the pods are easy to dry and can be ground into powder.
Please wear gloves when processing the pods.
Care: Germination temperature is between 24°C and 30°C (germination period: 10-20 days); it is therefore recommended to use greenhouse and a heating mat. The plants need fresh, well-fertilised, permeable soil, and do not tolerate waterlogging. They should be planted in a sunny, protected place with at least 6 hours of sunlight - preferably more. As the plants have a particularly long maturation period, it is recommended to grow them in a pot, so that you can easily bring the plant inside when the temperature falls below 12°C during the day, allowing all the fruits to ripen. To keep the plant over the winter, cut it back by 20cm after harvesting and place in a light place where it is at least 15°C.
You can find plenty of useful tips for successfully growing chili plants in our Chili Cultivation Instructions and in the Chili Diary.
