I agree, awesome job Scott this stuff looks like super extract … very strong upon inspection!!! If it doesn’t kill the mites, it will make a nice base for sofritio starter

hahaha

Rick you must have read thru our pm’s as that’s exactly what I said, “I’ll be da guinea pig,” lols!

Shrooms anyone

All the Jalapeño’s are full with pods, even the smallest plants under 12”s, hehe

Here’s one of the pods on the smallest plant. The stalk is strong from outdoor grow and she supports 4 this size, while many like to remove them thinking it will keep plant small, I say it didn't hurt my largest which started producing at around 8"s high and is now close to 24"s high and still growing.

Largest Jal is full up too

Chocolate hab from Chris (thegreenman)

Cayenne pepper

Jamaican Habanero pods

As always thanks for looking, have a great day and there's more pics for later ...

good luck with that Rosemary oil keeping the mites off ... will it smother the leaves?? I know Rosemary oil from the actual plants is sticky stuff so I would tread carefully with it initially especially in the heat!

Those pods are starting to look good as well ... things are starting to Ramp up over there .... keep on growing!!

Solid point and I agree, I’ll look back at the mix ratios again but off the top of my head it’s roughly 1 oz of RM oil concentrate + 1 oz of soap to one gallon of water, hopefully that will thin it out enough. That said, I don’t even spray neem in da heat of the day here. This is for an early morning or late day spraying only. I’ll have to allow the plant to take some sun or the test would be worthless, if she burns up and I can pull her in time or what ever happens I’ll be logging …

Mas JA Habs …

PIC 1 · Jun 4, 2013

Your plants are in full swing, plenty of jalapenos...whats on the menu for those ?

I'm getting pretty excited about the JA Habs, my plants are starting to shoot up, must have been all the rain and finally 2 days in a row of sun.

The soil has the "goods" going, even the schrooms look healthy !

What no Foodie pics? I got ya covered this time. Posted some of the Emapanadas I made this weekend, over in my glog.

Pods and plants looking good. Was looking at my Thai Fires yesterday and it looks like I am getting the start of my first pod on the one.

DocNrock · Jun 4, 2013

Dude, those White Bhuts are going to be awesome! White peppers are da shiznit! Everything else is looking great, as well. Love the loaded Jalapeno plants. Definitely a chilehead staple. The pods on the Chocolate Scorp and JA Hab look huge! Nice going. That rosemary oil concentrate looks, well, really concentrated! Like you said, either kill mites with it, or I could think of basting chicken and red potatoes with it.

Looking awesome, dude!

Thanks Greg, your seed has blown me away, just as prolific as the MoA seeds. The White Bhut is around 33”s tall, still growing!!! The others (Red Bhut, Trinidad Scorpion & Chocolate Scorp) are only 3”s behind her, not sure what I’ll do beyond poppers, dip and I’d like to powder some of the Jals, I should have plenty. My better half will probably make loads of tomato salad with them, she loves it and I enjoy it too. As far as the rest, the skys the limit right now, will use them in cooking & powder, I’ll probably start out with infusing some sea salt with JA Habs, one of my favs. I’m happy to read you are getting excited about your JA Habs, I can wait to see the pods you’ll be pulling ^_^ Thanks for comments and I fully agree on the rain and sun, I’ve been saving rain water for a special seaweed tea I want to make, soon come after 30 to 40 days, hehe … have a great day mi Chicago brethren!

Hors d'oeuvres just for you, Click Here and Here, I had them the day of pics and didn't post. I’m tied up right now but looking forward to seeing your foodie within the next several hours or later today, unless I get a break sooner, gotta eat first just in case, lolz.

Thanks Doc Brent, I can’t wait to try one of dem white girls and the pod too

I’ll soon have enough Jals to powder, can’t wait to make some green and red salts … The Chocolate Scorp looks scary, I’ve never tried one … if it’s anything like Jamie’s chocolate Bhut, I’ll be burning down the house ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪

(wink cause it’s bubblegum music, lol).

I’m starting to test Scott’s rosemary oil later today, I have that bushy hab that needs some spray, not many mites on her but I’ve been letting her ride waiting for this test and this should be interesting. Thanks for popping in, you dam mon!!!

MoA (STEVE954)
All three

New growth looks good and clean, the older leaves either the plant has been self pruning (one every other day) or I have been removing a few per day. In this picture you can see the far right and left leave’s have the rust color stuff from the mites, I’ll probably remove them within a few days.

The pods already on them have not ripened and a few more are setting …

BEAAAUUUUTIFUL... love it.. hope the bug problems simmer down...

Devv · Jun 4, 2013

Dang Ramon, pod crazy over there! AND They look great!

Is that the albino JA you were telling me about? Most of my pods are very light colored, while the plant next to it is darker...weird.

If I remember correctly, 1oz Rosemary, 10ml (2 tsp) liquid soap as a surfactant. Rinse in 5 mins...

I lIke the look of those MoA's, one looks like a four leaf clover on the bottom.

romy6 · Jun 4, 2013

Dem habs be looking marvelous. Mites, I don't see no stinking mites :rofl:

koskorgul · Jun 4, 2013

Thanks for the Hors d'oeuvres pics, looks tasty. I do something similar with chilli when I make it. Usually have bunch of chilli left over so they are my midnight snack along with a few beers.

Thank you Denniz, your MoAs are also looking very good from the pics I saw. This is Florida and if anyone is looking for a bug free place this is not it. While I did go several years without any major bug issues, those days are gone, it’s always one specieses or another hitting you here. A few weeks or months after you’ve finally declaired victory .... They're Back, hehehe. Currently I’m past the major issues but they are always still lurking out there :0

Pod crazy … na, just call me crazy for pods ¯\(º_o)/¯ har-har-har! Well I call her my albino girl but she’s just the same as the others when ripe, the pods are just variegated until they ripen, it's a very cool thing to see if you have the time

Thanks for the recipe, I was going to double check the video but if you are sure I’ll mix it up and spray. I have to wait till shaded but I’m allowing her 3 hours of sun tomorrow and I’ll take some pics then. Thanks for looking as always brethren & thanks again for dat awesome rosemary earl, hehe.

Your foodie was awesome brethren and great minds think alike on dat chili \o/

As always, thanks all for your advice, comments and support! See ya soon at your glogs

Devv · Jun 4, 2013

Make sure you rinse after a while, at least I thought the video stated that...

Just don't want anything hurt there in WG's jungle

Scott thank you for the disclaimer but the mix ratio appears light to me so I think that this won’t burn the plant/leaves and if it does, que sera sera, worst case I'll plant more, lolz

*Flash bulletin

… I was lucky enough to be selected by Mr. Scott (Devv) from Kill Dem Mites Industry to test their new product “Death by Rosemary.” Below are the ingredients to make numerous gallons but I only made one so far. Before we get started I must tip my hat to Mr. Scott hat’s off brethren \o_

Per Kill Industries; I mixed one ounce of rosemary concentrated oil, one ounce of dish soap with one gallon of very hot water. After mixing thoroughly I filled a spray bottle to spray the Jamaican Hab pictured below with product.

Some of my observations based on how the mix came out:

Finished mix appears watery, I don’t believe this will burn the leaves
I believe you could probably use up to 3oz. of the rosemary concentrate
When I do increase the mix ration I would go to 2oz before going to 3oz
Very nice consistency but I’m not sure it’s going to be strong enough at this ratio to kill anything but only time will tell

To my surprise the plant has 6 nice size pods and a whole bunch of little & forming ones

I thoroughly inspected the plant and believe with cheaters & mag glass I spotted a few mites but another surprise is that the rains must have washed most of them away.

Here’s how she looks after spraying, tomorrow she’ll only get 3 hours of morning sun and heavily diffused light the remainder of the day.

Since ~~Bushy~~ Rasta Hab was near my Thai hot, I picked off a few for today’s harvest, hehe

Thanks for looking *_* … BBL to read others glogs, see ya den mon!

I'm sitting on my hands waiting for the results!

Well she hasnt caught fire yet, hehe. All joking aside, I noticed right before it got dark that the stuff dried up all over her and she doesnt look shiny like leaves look once neem or mineral oil has been sprayed on them. If I was pressed I'd say it's kind of like a matte finish. I'm not sure if thats good or bad yet, guess well find out when the sun comes up tomorrow :|

sicman · Jun 4, 2013

looking real good my man!! i think those mushrooms are Gymnopilus palmicola. i need to see the gills and a spore print, regardless they are for sure in the gymnopilus family. and that is yalls mycology lesson for the day

Sanarda · Jun 4, 2013

Lemme first say, Damn you miss a lot in a day... On the rest, those MoA pods look wonderful. Some bonnet shaped, some with no bonnet and pointed, some with tails. IMO thats the way a pepper plant that is true is supposed to grow. Take seeds from the pods you like and try to replicate. True plants represent many variants.. Your on point my good man... Walk good!!!!!!!!

Unless, of course, we run into more serious problems, like the sun not coming up tomorrow.

Pd: joking aside - even you "sickest" plans look great.
