Honestly, I really dont know yet what I'm going to make. That pinapple/scorpion recipe on this forum sounds amazing. Ive got habaneros, goats, jalapenos, and Im about to harvest some jolokia white longs here soon. Ive got a few different types of bourbon and was wondering what dumping some...

Anyone ever tried to flavor a sauce with bourbon or any other alcohol? Ive never made a sauce but I have a bunch of habaneros and bahamian goats I can use; was wondering what pouring some bourbon in may do for the flavor.  Thoughts?

10/4 - Ill just keep an eye on them. Thanks all for the input.

I'm on board with being patient, thats easy; with that said, should i assume this is an orange bird? Not sure on what its final form is supposed to be is my problem.

  When do you think I should begin looking to harvest? Haven't seen any color change in the bigger peppers yet. 

So this was packaged as a Bolivian Rainbow. Some of the peppers seem to be growing straight up like Bolivians, but the majority of them are starting to look like some kind of chilli... Whats your guess?  

Im gonna have to get aggressive with these ants. Walked out and one of the strips of paper was covered with them eating the lacewing eggs; bastards. I'm going to add some cayenne powder in my garlic powder solution and hit the soil with that to see if they enjoy it. 

Holy hell, 30K. I just went out and hung about 2k worth of eggs on about 15 different plants. I put the other 8K back in the bag to see if they will continue to hatch so I can just run around sprinkling them on the leaves. I was going to wait until the evening but the little bastards started...

  Thanks for the reply. I'm in the SWFL area (Cape Coral/Fort Myers).   I'm going to do everything I can to kick their asses. Have you ever tried the vaseline trick at the base of the plant so the ants cant actually get up to the leaves to farm the aphids? I know they recommend 1k lacewing eggs...

Found something through the Google with a guy recommending putting vaseline at the base of the plant to create a barricade for the ants, preventing them from protecting the aphids. Has anyone ever tried this? Received the lacewing eggs to going to be getting them staged this evening. 

Yeah I just didnt know if the ants would try and take out my lacewings. 

This is the little sucker eating holes in the leaves. Hard to zoom in on them being so small.      Wife and I went and combed through about 25 plants. Found aphids, white flies, mealy bugs, and those little caterpillars. I also noticed that there appears to be quite a few ants hanging out with...

  Yeah thats what I thought. My lacewing eggs should be here Wednesday. I'm hoping they can wipe everything out for me. 

Might just have to set this plant on fire...         Also, what are these little white fellas? Mealy bugs?      

I've got 64 plants total, but only about 45 outside currently. I did order a handful lacewing eggs and they should be shipping tomorrow. Should I just throw those bad boys out there on Wednesday when I receive them? Ill take a photo of the caterpillar next time I find one. 

I just went and picked up some of that same Insect Killer. I'll give it a shot and report my finding. You think it will work to keep caterpillars at bay as well?

Every morning I'm finding little tiny caterpillars munching on the leaves of my peppers. They're about 1/4" in length, and usually found on the underside. Next time I find one I'll snap a picture, but is there any concoction I wan whip up to deter these little suckers?   Also, I went out this...

  Yeah, being a little stingy on the medium with those. Thats the 2nd transplant of those plants and one more to go. Trying to get them to focus on the tops a bit before they go to their 5gal homes. Also, Ocean Forest is expensive; down to 5 bags!

Finally some plants moved outside to acclimate to the SWFL heat. I currently have about 12-16 different types of peppers (jalapeno, black jalapeno, habanero, jolokia purple, jolokia white long, carolina reaper, trinidads, 3 strains of bahamian beats, bahamian goat, bolivian rainbow, naglah beast...

When it comes time, how deep up the stem/close to the first set of true leaves do you usually bury the plant?
