hot peppers?????

[scifreak69]

so i have these hot peppers plant that never get eaten by bugs but everything else gets eaten
so i started using hot peppers and water to cure all my outside bugs on my veggies and it works
so the question is will it work of our ladies or will it do something bad

You could always try by spraying one fan leave of your plant to find out
There is a protein the plant produces to help keep pests away..... Nice idea you have there; will defiantly keep an eye on this thread!

i am wondering if it will ruin the bud
it works on bell pepers tomatoes herbs lettuce spinch cucumbers anything i grow in the garden
i was wondering if anyone else has tried this
i dont want to ruin a crop i have no pest in my room yet... i was looking ahead just incase i found them eating my stash
thanks for your time stitch

NOrmally you don't want to spray anything on the buds at all....... just the leaves themself......... most pests eat the leaves not the buds.

They definately make a hot pepper based pesticide. In fact one product is called hot pepper wax. Also many passed down homemade pesticides come from good ol tobasco sauce or hot sauce derivitive.
it also acts a an outdoor guard against deer and such chewin up your grow.

so basically i have an all organic spray given to us by the gods
we dont really know what it does to our ladies
i guess i will test it and see what happen
worse case senerio is i lose a crop best case i get a new organic pesticide
i wonder if it will burn leafs it dosent on the veggies
if i could show you pics of these broccolli plants all the leafs on the bottom are eaten
and you can see where i started use the peppers and the leafs are huge and no hole or bites
i guess we will see
all i need are the bugs in the cabinet instead of outside
i am not wishing bugs upon me but i cant try something if i dont have the product to get rid of

a member by the name of "HOG" used to dip his vegging plants in a pepper/water mix for spider mites i don't think he ever did it for budding plants

I thin jorge servantes mentions this for caterpillars if i not mistaken, garlic too, damn I lent the book out..... only concern Id have is the that pepper is sometimes hard to wash off i.e. u get it on ya hands, wash um, then rub your eyes, your eyes are gonna burn nomatter how hard u scrubbed ya hands. If I was growin some herb just for edible I would do it though.... spicy butter noodles......mmmmmmm...... My girls cookin again.....
