Hey Jamie it’s Mike in Wash.DC. I just wanted to let you know my plant is doin great!
I took some pics. One quick question. I’m noticing the plant kinda takin a purple color in the stems. Is this normal? Or indication of a problem. The plant is about 2 feet tall and very full and bushy. Just curious. Takes a look a the pics! Doin my best to make ya proud of me with a successful grow!
Take care buddy,
Mike
Dear Mike
It looks perfect and should start flowering soon. Keep me updated as it’s always good to see how other Bhut enthusiasts are doing with the seeds!

Many of you have seen Jamie’s video on youtube and the hot and fiery repercussions for eating just a piece of the Bhut Jolokia pepper. This morning on the Fox 5 Morning news with Arthel NevilleJamie ate an ENTIRE BHUT JOLOKIA! The video doesn’t get to show what happened an hour later, but let’s say it was many times worst than the original Man vs Pepper youtube video and it was an insanely painful experience. Click to view the video and once again thanks to everyone for your continued support!
