Haven't grown that particular pepper, but if they are anything like jalapeno,cayenne,or banana peppers, they are easy to grow and make like crazy in a good raised bed. The main problem I have is figuring out what to do with all the peppers.

I had no trouble growing ghost peppers. Eating them was a different story!

I have always bought transplants when growing peppers. I have started most everything else from seed at one time or another.
What does the peroxide do to aid in the process of getting seed up warrior? First I have heard of it. I have had issues with tomato seed in the past. Would it be beneficial with those?

All I can say is WHY!!
Why do you want to grow them?
Looking for that napalm feeling in the morning after you ate them?
WISH I HAD MORE TIME TO TRAP!

haven't grown that pepper but most peppers are very hardy and hot ones generally drought tolerant
if you want more or the fruit starts to collapse and get black from the blossom end use Yield boost or stop rot they are both calcium supplements and give greater fruit and growth.
if the peppers crack they got dry and then got moisture again and split , try and keep more regular moisture.

Easy to grow here. If they are watered often they do not mature out as hot as if grown in dry conditions. That's been my experience.
I prefer Hungarian wax hot over the scoble (spelling) scale busters.
Last year Rural King had best plants around.

Last year Rural King had best plants around. Beaver Dam as in Beaver Dam Wisconsin is one of my favorite varieties of Hungarian wax peppers mild to medium it is all the heat I need there are also a few varieties of sweet Italian frying peppers that are very good and mild enough for me

Canvasback2; Yes, those are the reapers. My wife has grown them the last couple years. They are pretty tasty for the first 5-10 seconds. Then it is beer chugging time for the next half hour.
The only problem I have had with not wearing gloves when cutting them has been when I went to the bathroom. Doesn't matter how many times you washed your hands, IT'S GONNA BURN!

EDIT; To be clear I wasn't talking about your hands burning.
