Big Red Mama - 15 seeds

15 seeds from our plants in Berlin. Big, wrinkled red peppers with thick walls and plenty of heat.

Origin and breeding

The Big Red Mama is a superhot hybrid of Naga Morich and 7 Pot Douglah, created by renowned pepper grower Judy from PepperLover. This variety is known for producing large, deeply wrinkled red pods that are both visually striking and intensely hot. It was selectively bred to combine massive pod size with the ferocity of its parent strains.

Growing in our Berlin setup

• We start these indoors from November to January in Berlin, using grow lights and a heating mat. Adjust the timing to your climate and setup. We use nursery trays or 5×5×5 cm pots.
• Use light, well-draining seed-starting soil.
• Soil temp: 26 to 30 °C, Air temp: 22 to 28 °C, Humidity: >60%.
• Use a humidity dome + heating mat.
• Provide 12 to 16 hours of light daily.
• Add airflow with a fan after germination.

Flavour and heat

Fruity and slightly floral, with a burn that gets going quickly.

Estimated heat: 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 SHU.

Our peppers haven’t been lab-tested for Scoville heat.

We grow each variety ourselves before offering the seeds, and save seeds from peppers that best match the variety. Our plants are open-pollinated, so you may still see some variation in the peppers you grow.
