Hot pepper seeds commonly germinate in approximately 7–21 days under suitable warm and moist conditions, although some varieties take longer. Use a well-drained seed-starting mix, maintain suitable warmth, and follow the supplier's instructions for the specific cultivar.
The exact Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) rating depends on the pepper cultivar sold under the Bahamian name. Different pepper varieties can have different heat levels, so verify the botanical identity and reliable cultivar-specific information before advertising a numerical Scoville rating.
Harvest peppers when the fruits reach the expected mature size and color for the identified cultivar. Some peppers can be harvested while green, while others develop their characteristic mature color later. Use gloves when handling very hot fruits and avoid touching your eyes or face.
