I just completed the Death Nut v2 challenge last week and ordered the v3. Trying to convince a friend of mine to do the v3 with me. He’s a little scared. Trying to get him a frame of reference on heat level against something he knows. He has both Last Dab and Da Bomb hot sauces. Has anyone...

Wandering around a local West Indian market in Queens, NY, I stumbled on some gorgeous frozen rocotos. First time ever seeing them sold in any form so I decided to buy 2 pounds worth.   I've read all about them but have had 0 experience with them. Would love some recommendations on how best to...

Hey All, As a gag, a friend of mine got me a gram of pure 16M SHU capsaicin crystals and told me to snort it. Obviously not going to do that! I normally would never have considered using or purchasing something like this but figure if I have it I might as well use it. Thinking about using it...

Really like his cookware. He uses like the same 5 ingredients for everything. After the first 5 minutes i was thinking well that's 5 minutes of my life i'll never get back, proceeded to watch the whole thing twice. lol  ...

Currently have some plants under 1000W LED that has a spectrum of 380nm to 780nm. Is that little bit of UV 380-400nm enough to not need to harden off the plants when moving outside?  

My new favorite recipe and method to make hot sauce. Super easy, shelf stable, easy to make small batches and fine tune adjustments to heat level and flavor profile. 1.5 oz water (thickened with xanthan gum, 1/4 tsp to 8oz water) 1 oz white vinegar .5 oz apple cider vinegar 1 tsp onion powder 1...

The leaves on my peach Bhut seemed to be growing slowly and with an odd shape. Took a look at the underside of the leaves and this is what I found. Initial reaction was aphids! But thankfully that wasn't it. They are not alive and does not wipe off. The little white bumps are part of the leaves...

First joined back in 2008, learned a lot and shared what I could. With a new kid, work, moving etc it's been years since I've been here.   Hoping to find enough time to stick around permanently this time!

Any reason why this would be ineffective? I had an airlock on it but the lid starting doming up and it looked like it was a bout to blow. so i pulled the airlock out and put a sanitized bowl over the hole. Once crap stopped foaming out i wiped down the lid with star san, put the little plastic...

Is anyone familiar with this product? Do you think it would work well at making yeast starters? They're on woot.com today, 2 for $20 shipped. Worth a shot??

At my local hydroponics store (homebrew too), they had kit with 6.5 gal plastic fermenter, 6.5 gal spigoted bottling bucket, airlock, rack and fill kit, hydrometer, thermometer and capper + your choice of extract recipe kit for $100. I've been thinking about this for a while and have been...

Lust Review A little thinner than expected considering the amount of pods in the bottle. Very nice to smell; chinense dominates but the vinegar, honey, lime and fruitiness of the strawberry comes through very clearly. Spoon test: Sweet lime flavor right off the bat, then a sharp chinense...

Found this at my local supermarket. Any idea what these yellow guys are? Tastes like a yellow bell pepper but with the heat of a hot jalapeno. The red ones are called Ancient Sweets, very very sweet, very big as well. First time i've seen these. This is what i found about them...

Anyone else see this yet? What are your thoughts? I watched it last night and I've got to say i thoroughly enjoyed it. Is it unrealistic and over the top? Absolutely. But that's the way it's supposed to be! It stuck pretty in line with the premise from the comics and cartoons. One interesting...

So back in January i planted 10 cumari seeds, 4 sprouted, 1 was destroyed in a drunken watering accident, 1 got burned in a dog knocked over the light while i was at work accident, 1 just yellowed and died for unknown reasons. The lone survivor finally has a few ripe pods. These things grow...

So i have these dried bhuts i got off the internet a while back. They were flame dried and have a very smoky taste, not pleasant like a chipotle but not quite unpleasant. I finally decided to do something with them. I thought rehydrating with red wine might taste good so i did that with 4 of...

I'm getting algae on most of my seedlings in rockwool. Is this harmful? Will this subside as the plants get bigger and block the light getting to the cubes? What can i do to get rid of and prevent this? Thanks

it had to happen eventually; Any how, the purpose of this wasn't share my inebriaton but show an awesome find at Fairway Market by my office. Stopped by on my way to happy hour to see if they had anything cool and lo and behold. Some sort of chinense, they're big, they're yellow, the HOT and...

Hint: Heat level: Comparable to O habs.
