  It yielded around 5 cups in the blender.

  No. I leave it all intact.

Let me add a little more detail: In my last batch, I used 7 Reapers and about 20 Thai dragons. In another batch I used about 20 orange habaneros and about 15 Cayennes. Both batches I used around a cup of sugar (as the recipe I found had called for) Again, just enough vinegar to almost cover the...

Is anyone familiar with Zaxby's Insane Sauce? I've been trying to come up with something that's similar to that but of course, they won't divulge their copyrighted sauce ingredients. It seems doubtful (being a commercial restaurant) that they would use anything hotter than Habaneros, but I...

I've made a few different hot sauces with Reapers, orange Habs and Thai dragons and every recipe I've followed calls for sugar so I added it. However, it never seems to come out very hot - not even really as hot as store bought Tabasco sauce sometimes. Does adding a cup of sugar (brown or white)...

The only sweet pepper I've tried are the bells. The rest of them are hot. Jalapenos, Cayenne, orange and red habaneros, Thai dragon, ghost, scorpion and Carolina Reaper.

Thanks for the info. Do you know if they affect Bell Peppers also? I've been having some issues with a bunch of rotten bell peppers as well.   Thanks!

Can anyone help me identify these bugs/insects? They are all over a couple of my habanero peppers. Not the leaves, not the stems, but the actual fruit.   Thanks!   Nick

I have about 80 different pepper plants from Japs, to Habs, to Bell, Thai, Cayenne, etc.    Right now, there are about 5 total peppers spread out between all 80 plants that have ripened to the point of being red. However, there are still many more on each plant that are still green or just...

Thank you for your insight! That sounds like exactly what happened because I did in fact spray the soapy water on them during the day. And yes, some of them ended up losing all of their leaves and just leaving the bare stem and the fruit. Thus far, it doesn't look like anything was affected...

Also to add to the soapy water theory; although I sprayed every plant with the soapy water, only one rack was affected with the leave dropping issue.

Wind is a possible factor because I wasn't here the whole time so I'm not sure about the wind conditions (although there was nothing worth mentioning any other time I was outside nearby), however, all of the leaves fell straight down into their respective pots as opposed to all over the racks...

Had anyone else experienced this? Is it normal? Yesterday, all my plants were looking great. Today I go out there and they're still looking great except a whole bunch of green leaves just fell off of several of the plants. I checked the water and it's still very moist. Do they just do that...

Thanks for your insight Chorizo! I haven't checked to see how packed the soil was but I will. I was told that you shouldn't use too big of a pot and that one is a gallon. What size do you use (or think I should go up to)? Thanks!

Thanks. I just ordered a 16 oz. bottle of it. How much should I apply and how often? I imagine the directions are on it but they didn't show that picture so I don't even know if 16 oz. is enough. Thanks again!

I have this Carolina Reaper plant that I got back in December and when I received it, there were already fruits on it and it continued producing a few more fruits until it got too cold. I overwintered the plant and it appeared to work well because the plant itself looks really good right now but...

Thanks for all the replies! Just to add to the post:   They currently have 4 2ft T5 fluorescent tube lights shining on them (plus the light from the window)   Nick

I have a number of peppers growing that look like they're doing really well, but I'm curious as to why they look so leggy. I'm not sure if they are supposed to look this way or not. All of these peppers are either Grand Bell, Jalapeno or Cayenne.   Do these look good at this stage? Also, do they...

Okay. I will try that. Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply! I'm not sure if this picture will accurately display the difference, but I'll give it a shot. I'm looking for the dark red color. I'm not sure if your ideal of "bright" red is the same as my idea of "dark" red but this is a picture of Zaxby's Insane Sauce vs my Reaper sauce...
