Its funny, never really thought of it like that, but you're most likely right.

As someone who usually sees their 7-10g top nugs go to shit because of asshole caterpillars, its turned me into a bit of a sadist. Don't ask me about my "Caterpillar coliseum". Anyone who hasn't grown weed thinks I'm an asshole for having aforementioned "coliseum". Anyone that has watched a worm munching on your most gorgeous and beautiful top nugs though?

Fuck worms man. Love watching those little asshole squirm when I spray them with the pepper spray. In the process of growing Trinidad peppers now, so that will go much longer of a ways than simple habaneros (Trinidads being 10-20x hotter than Habaneros).

@poundofyourfinest definitely put it best. In fact, you only need to cut the peppers in half to expose the "flesh" prior to boiling.

I always point out to people; consider the precautions we humans have to take when processing habenero (or hotter) peppers. We need gloves and even goggles in some cases, and have to wash our hands even with gloves.

If for some strange reason just the smell/terpenes of the pepper spray itself doesn't deter pests, those little assholes munching on your capsasin infused leaves will die before they can even finish chewing.





A bit of a tangent with a personal experience of mine concerning capsasin, to demonstrate just how powerful it is to humans, let alone pests.

I went to a local sushi bar I've been a regular of for years. (side tip: if you like sushi, go sit at a bar and ask the chef to pick your food for you. Their eyes will light up and you'll have an amazing eating experience every time).

So, I go into the same sushi place for their all you can eat special. New guy was there. I'm munching on some sushi and eventually ask the guy,

"Can you make me and my lady the spiciest sushi roll you can come up with?"
"Well, I have a bottle of pure capsasin extract. No fillers, no peppers, no nothing. It is literally pure capsasin extract"
"Awesome, can you make me a spicy tuna handroll with that shit?"
"You sure?"
"Fuck yeah, I'll sign paperwork if you need"
"Nah man, I got you."

Sushi chef makes me a spicy tuna handroll, but with the pure capsasin extract instead of the typical Sriracha. I take a bite.

Suddenly, I'm floating. It is an out of body experience. I'm literally floating in the air, and eventually I'm "at the ceiling" of the restaurant and I'm looking down at myself eating this spicy capsasin roll of death. I've messed with LSD and mushrooms in my time, but never had an out of body experience like pure capsasin caused me to have.

For a good minute, I continued to eat the capsasin roll, and was simultaneously watching myself eat the roll as well as actually experiencing it via eating it. It was like I was watching myself AND experiencing it at the same time. The absolute most surreal experience of my life, I was conscious of being at two different places at once.



I always think of those asshole caterpillars/spider mites/aphids/etc. experiencing what I did. They munch on the leaves, expecting nourishment, only to have the same experience I did at the sushi bar. Until they fucking die of shock.

You can literally see the confusion in the bugs behavior after you spray this shit on the leaves. They go apeshit. They know their food source is right in front of them, but now its poison. You can literally watch the bugs decide between death by capsasin, or death by starvation. And if you've had to suffer watching a caterpillar eat your 7-10g top nug from your outdoor plant until it becomes a moldy useless piece of shit? You tend to become a sadist watching them suffer.


Apologies for the rant/personal anecdote, it just serves to prove a point.

If a habanero/ghost pepper/capsasin/etc. extract spray doesn't deal with your plant, you're most likely fucked and there is absolutely nothing you can do at that point.

All the best.

Love the sadism! Lol.... only with the bugs though. Lol

Did the capsasin hurt the plants at all?

Only built the colosseum one time about 7-8 years ago after watching a worm eat what was one of the biggest top nugs I've seen in my life, even to this day. Weighed just shy of 59g (wet) when I cut it down and weighed it.

The worm I found on that nug went straight into an old mayo jar. Every other worm that I found went into the jar, like 4 worms in the mayo jar. I left them alone until the next morning, only one lone worm remained in the jar and it was huge. So, every day for the next week whenever I found a worm, it went into the jar which I dubbed the "Colosseum" due to the fact I was effectively pitting the worms against each other.

Rather than eating my buds, they had to eat each other for survival. The one initial worm was the "champion" and went undefeated for nearly a week, every worm I put in the jar was gone in a matter of hours with only the champion remaining. At first, the champion worm didn't outright go after the newly introduced worms. However, after only a matter of days, the champion worm would instantly pounce on any new worms introduced to the Colosseum.

Eventually, I discovered the pepper spray and soon ran out of caterpillars to feed the champion with. So, I dumped it out of the jar and set it on fire.

I still think about that worm, and wonder what would have happened if I released a cannibalistic worm back into the environment.

Am I an asshole for doing all of that? Most certainly. But I'm still not as evil as the worm that ate what would have been a top nug that weighed nearly 1/2oz dry.

Definitely only with bugs. I feel like even the most calm and mild mannered person is capable of losing their shit when they see pests devouring their hard work.

Capsasin doesn't hurt the plants, and doesn't impart any negative flavors. In fact, capsasin is effectively a terpene. That is why it needs to be re-applied every day, because it dissipates within 24 hours. It can be sprayed all the way up until harvest with zero ill effects. Do your last spray the night before, and harvest first thing in the morning. Or vice-versa.

That's awesome. You should have dried it out and mummified it, and named him Maximus.
