Bought the seeds as such. I guess I'll know soon enough.
Plant has 4 nice pods so far :-)

Don't appear to be man, too smooth and the shape is off.

Here's one of the scorpions I have going ...

Where'd you get them from?

Time to buy from Jim Duffy. Never let me down.
You really want to know Jay?

Mistake #1...fleabay.

I am curious to see what color they turn into. I bought them as the original strain scorpion.

1) white fuzz etc is indication of fungal infection , damping off, etc not good... indicates death of plant soon, because to wet,,,,, 2) seed MUST be RIPE allow pepper pod to mature then do as intended 3) potting soil MUST be well drained ... initial wetting of soil must be all the waw through 5 seconds may to much or to little. check soil ... seed must be covered but not to deep coler seed to less than the thickness of the seed. there is another forum for peppers check there for mor help in growing these plants

John, I have harvested 4 peppers from one of my smaller Trinidad Scorpion-FG plants. All of them have had a non-distinct stinger and have ripened to a yellow-orange color. The plant that these peppers have come off of has suffered very heavily this year from aphids and a small whitefly. The robust, healthy plants that I have (2) have peppers on them that have a more prominent stinger, but none of them have ripened yet. I had intended to take pictures, but got too excited about the peppers ripening and I picked them and ate them. :) They were pretty hot, but not as hot as I expected. I know that every plant is different, but this plant has been the epitome of "stressed" throughout the whole growing season so I would think the peppers would be scorchers. The plant has done so poorly that I have considered pulling it a couple of times. I will provide you updates on the other 2 plants as the peppers ripen. All of the peppers from you that I have grown are now producing peppers, but it's so hot here that there haven't been any huge harvests. I'm pretty excited that I now have peppers on the Jamaican Scotch Bonnets, 7-pot and Bhut Jolokias. Scott

Seems like a nursery should get these things right, but I guess there are lot of opportunities for mix-ups along the way, especially for young plants with no pods or flowers.

There are so many Scorpion variants, who can really say....

But eBay....that puts a ding in the chances of an accurate or pure strain.

Actually, chocolate hab would be cool!
When they start turning color, I'll post again.

Awesome. Yeah I have heard that chocolate habs have a very good taste to them!

Don't feel bad, I've bought some seeds on amazon before - got kinda lucky though with mine. Some of the plants were scorpions (the one pic above), most ended up being red savina though - not disappointed, sort of enjoyed the unknown grab bag.

And Josh is absolutely correct, most scorpions anyone will ever buy now are likely to be some form of blend...I've seen lots of variation from other sites.

Yeah, I'm not bummed out. I grew this plant from seed, hardened it off, and here he is in all his glory! I'm happy :-)

Can't wait to try it whatever it is. I will be doing a video update pretty soon..once my plants all have pods.

My Jimmy Nardello is going crazy with pods and it's only about a foot and a half tall! Tabasco is also filling up with pods but none of my pods have changed color yet.

Ha, I'm playing the Amazon Trifecta Roulette right now. Red and Yellow Bhuts, plus Trinidad Scorpions (30+ seeds). The plants are a month old now and are in the process of hardening off. No matter what transpires, I figure I've already gotten my $3.05 worth. They definitely are different than anything else I'm growing.:)

Whatever you end up with Stoney, I hope they're tasty.
