I use an FPE on my peppers, have been since last year. I have a bottle fermented liquid kelp that I use regularly, and during the fall of last year I used a bottle of fermented comfrey leaves.   If you want to read more about them, google "plants to the rescue of plants".   As for the necessity...

  I have no ideas actually, sorry. It could be that there were other ingredients in the spray as PMD mentioned above. I use pure neem oil that I mix 1 teaspoon per liter (quart) of water, and I have never experienced anything like you described.

  I would love to do something to get some Aji Jobitos ... He's selling a combo of four varieties for $20 http://thehotpepper.com/index.php?/topic/44920-The-best-tasting-non-hot-C%2Echinense-ever---The-Aji-jobito/page__view__findpost__p__1145992

thanks for keeping us updated! those are BEAUTIFUL

don't forget to try mixing in honey, maple syrup, or molasses for a great wing sauce!

Can anyone provide a sample of interesting fresh pods right now, maybe some of the turkish varieties? Gonna be in the states for a week starting tomorrow and would love to try some. Don't need too many though ;-)

What's the difference from pic to pic? :party:   Seriously though, what juanitos said.

They are not known to kill ladie bugs. Neem is meant as a repellent for hard bodied insects, and a killer for soft bodied insects like aphids.

Neem + water I hope?   I used a Neem and Castile soap spray last year fairly regularly and had no issues, but I also dilute mine quite a bit. If you let the neem spray dry out first, then it shouldn't affect the ladybugs at all I would think.

  Haha, it definitely fits better with Asian cuisine where you want to add a touch of salt along with some warmth, for example with a bowl of Pho. That said, it is basically just fermented jalapenos and garlic, so technically you could make your own "sriracha".   I also use it mixed in with...

  TB, where abouts are you in Texas? I think there are quite a few authentic slurpy bowl ramen joints that have popped up around the bigger metro areas. If you haven't tried any yet, then please do so! Its waaaay different.

haha thanks! I wanted to err on the side of safe ;-)

it was a great learning experience! patience definitely paid off. I also kept half the original ferment back to experiment later.

I finished my sauce! Unfortunately, I forgot to take pics as I was making it, but here's an Instagram vid as I was finishing up! https://instagram.com/p/14V8h1RyWW/ Sauce has a wonderful taste. All I added was a 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar and a handful of frozen mango chunks which really...

You'd be surprised how resilient they are when it comes to separating them. They might flop over for a day or two, but usually will perk right back up after the initial shock.   If truly worried, the best method for separation is probably soaking the rootball int water until the dirt falls away...

here's an example. this was from a 1 gallon. first pic was right after sliding off the grow bag, second is after shake out all the dirt (though a lot of roots also came out with it). pics really don't do it justice though.
