    spirits Pepper Vodka?

    I did the same thing with bhut jolokias and vodka last fall, and i still have a 5 oz bottle of that stuff with my name on it in my fridge. The liquid has taken an orange hue...not sure what that would mean for my insides if I decided to take a shot, but probably nothing pleasant. Did some with...

    Peter Pepper

    I guess I am one of the rare few who actually likes the taste of Peter Peppers regardless of whether they grow true to form or not. I will say that most were eaten months later from jars of pickled okra...but out of all the peppers we stuffed in the jars, the PP's had the best flavor with a...

    hot-sauce Melinda's sauces

    Remembered reading this interview with Marie Sharp a while back, and thought it would be relevant to post here given the Marie's vs. Melinda's debate: http://www.hotsauceblog.com/hotsaucearchives/twenty-questions-with-marie-sharp/ Sounds like she got screwed over by a business partner, but...

    condiment I hate sweet BBQ sauces

    Ha, I should have clarified that I meant Lexington, North Carolina and not Kentucky! I get the Kentucky thing all the time when I tell people where my hometown is. The Lexington, NC sauce is definitely more on the vinegar side though, and if you ever happen to be in NC in late October, we have...

    condiment I hate sweet BBQ sauces

    I am partial to Lexington style barbecue sauce, since it is my hometown and all. Here is a link to a basic version of it that seems pretty accurate: http://www.pepperfool.com/recipes/bbq/lexington_sauce.html Notice that it says the sauce is thin...about as far away from KC Masterpiece as you...

    lighting Lights

    matt50680 has pretty much the exact same setup as i do...two shop light fixtures for $10 a piece, a timer for about $5 (WELL worth it for forgetful people like me), and 4 cool white bulbs set 1" to 2" above the seedlings. i am no expert by any stretch, but from all that i have read, the total...

    Does Fish / Seaweed Emulsion Go Bad?

    i opened up the bottle, and it didn't smell any worse than i remember, but it did have a crust of dried emulsion at the rim. i was leaning with everyone else on this one, but if you have been using the same brand and bottle for 3 years Pepp3rFreak....what the hell. year old fish guts it is. that...

    seeds Seedling Grow Lights

    ditto on not making growing peppers too hard...it may have even been AJ on another thread that said peppers seem to benefit from a certain amount of neglect. case in point, my buddy and i obsessed over our best seedlings in the ground and in pots last season, and we chucked the leftovers in the...

    Does Fish / Seaweed Emulsion Go Bad?

    Quick question for anyone in the know...I have a bottle of Neptune's Harvest Fish & Seaweed emulsion from last year, and it doesn't seem to have an expiration date. The only warning on the bottle says not to store diluted fertilizer. The bottle itself is opaque white, so degradation from light...

I am in my third season of growing, and I finally broke down and bought some shop lights to get a head start this...
