I may have missed it but do you shake your plants? Yeah I know it sounds stupid but this was happening to me as well. Since peppers are like tomatoes, and I shake the hell out of my tomatoes to help them pollinate, I started doing the same for the peppers. It worked like a charm and now I have...

Hog - I got myself from DE but didn't need it.    My update is I found the little SOBs nest and got rid of it last night! Yay!! I'm spreading the DE around to help prevent any other infestations but this morning was the first morning I woke up and the ants weren't crawling or hiding on my plant...

CM,    I'm not sure why you're getting testy. All I said was I was not worried about the air in the ferments. As for my experience, I'm Korean and have been doing it since I was a small child and my mother has been doing it since she was a small child. She passed the skill and recipes along to...

  The lids are re-caps that are air tight. You can buy them online from the mason jar company or amazon etc. I use a #6 bung and an airlock in the top. Pretty cheap overall. I wasn't going to use an airlock at all but I figured why not. :)        I'm not worried about the air space to be honest...

  Yes, that's why I need something else to kill them. The little guys are protecting the aphids. It's really a PITA. lol       Please let me know how it goes. IF it works I'll put sugar and borax all around lol. 

How long are you going to keep them outside Kevin? I didn't think you were going to put them outside actually. I just went and picked up big bloom and tiger bloom. I really do like the ferts and was extremely happy with the outcome of my one angry manganese deficient plant. :) 

Here are some ferments I have.    Yes I know they're not full to the top but that's OK I like giving them some room. Also, these are early photos now it's been about a week and a half and they're doing great. Yes I know I need new photos. :)     So what happened was this. Someone processed a...

I will say I use grow big and that stuff has worked great. I had a maganese deficiency and my plant is perfect again. 

Oh hell no, no fungus nats. That's all I need fungus nats and aphid farmer ants and whatever other crazy bugs Florida can throw at me. No thanks. lol    Do you mix your promix BX or use as is? 

  Mallory,    I'm thinking of putting my seedlings in this. You have no issue with it being hot at all? I'm solarizing my other dirt at the moment but need to transfer some seedlings around. I don't want to screw up and burn them lol. 

Here is a quick update to y grow long.    My seeds are doing pretty well and are getting big. I"m so proud of them! lol        These are Bhut jolokia's off of a plant that has a manganese deficiency. FF grow big is slowly knocking it out! I have another bhut plant that is throwing a huge...

I made some sauce from reapers and I because I like to cook, I obviously have to taste it before I mix it with things. So I take a bite of the pepper. Yeah, I should have just taken a LITTLE bit but nooooo I think I'll be fine and a bad ass.Pain, and a half gallon of milk later, more pain. I'm...

I do use gloves. I think these SOBs are cheap because it seems to leach through the glove. I even washed my hands well afterwords and I still harmed myself lol. Ya know...these are the gloves they used to change a tube that went straight into my heart when I was going through chemo... I feel...

I went potty after playing with reapers the other day. That was also a bad idea lol. Worse then touching my face (which I seem to do). MUCH worse.    SO maybe eating it and burning my tongue off wasn't the worst thing I've done...

I'm a little worried that the ants will kill the ladybugs because these guys are protecting their farms. I even saw one running away with an aphid. It would be funny if it wasn't on my plant lol. Maybe mantis? What could eat the ants instead of getting killed by them?    I'd love to do the sugar...

I have a problem with aphid farmer ants. I'm too keen on using pesticides (health reasons) so I'm using my own soap and garlic mixture and just spraying the little jerky aphids off my plants. This seems to work for a few days then the little SOBS are back.    Does anyone have any suggestions? 

Thank you for the info guys!      I saw Judy's and I asked to be notified when they're back in stock lol. I also had not thought of seed savers even though I've bought from them before. Thanks for reminding me lol.    Thanks King! Can't wait. 

I can;'t sleep tonight after another errant frog decided to make my living room it's home (Notice I say another). After my catch and release maneuvers I decided to munch on something.    What someone should not eat at 6am is a morova because I felt like it. Yeah that was a mistake. I wasn't...

Hey guys,    I have a thing for cayenne's. Not sure why but I love them. Only recently has it come to my attention that there are different types of cayenne (Who knew? - Probably lots of you but I didn't - :D). Does anyone know of a good source to get the varieties from? Thanks a bunch!    G  

Yes I was your Dr. How did you find me on a pepper forum?  Slizarus how are you getting your information? lol I'll post some pictures of the ferments and hot sauce and reapers. :)
