Hi, I'm very proud of this first harvest from 3 plants. There are still quite a lot of unripe peppers left. It was my first time growing them starting from seeds, and I'm really happy with the results and everything I learned on the way.
As expected they are pretty spicy. I think they could be habaneros but I'm not sure. I'm interested if anyone has abetter guess. I already posted a picture of the plants a few weeks ago in this community.
I'd strongly wager those are Caribbean Red Habaneros. I'm growing them as one of my first plants from seed as well! They are 2-3x hotter than normal habaneros with a slightly thicker flesh.
I read about scotch bonnets & habanero, both have sub varieties and some of them seem very similar. I still don't know for sure which one it is. Do you have pictures you could share ?
I actually do! Funny enough, the photo I took was a mixture of scotch bonnets and caribbean red habaneros. I was making a combo sauce with them. I harvested the seeds from the reds in this photo, and that's what I'm growing now. The yellows are obviously the scotches.

Such gorgeous colors and pod shapes!
Unfortunately I can take no credit - these were from the local farmers market, but saving the seeds is allowing me to try at home now. A few months away from any type of pepper yield. These were delicious, though.
I just happened to pick up a fresh batch today. This pic is just Caribbean Reds, for comparison. Probably left on the vine a little longer judging by how dry the stems are.
