Thanks ACS 1, I will give that a shot.  I have been spraying the plants with neem about once a week or so.  I currently have them in  5 gallon buckets.  I will try to up-pot them tomorrow.  Thanks again!!!

A few more pictures of the plants.  I am noticing some spots on some leaves.  

  I am pretty new to growing peppers so I am sure I am not using the best mix.  I am using SunGro Metro-Mix and Black Kow about a 50/50 ratio and also adding some sand an vermiculite.  I also added some Osmocote when I potted the plants.  About 2 weeks ago I started adding Alaska fish fert.  I...

Hey guys, I received some new Scotch Bonnet seeds this year and am having some plant health problems.  I planted eight seeds and only had two plants germinate.  The two plants that germinated grew fine for approximately three months.  The first thing that I noticed was the leaves turning up.  I...

I am pretty certain that the bugs are Assassin bugs, so does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do for Scale?

  I am almost certain that the bugs that I am seeing are Assassins so I am trying to keep them around.  I still need to find a solution to the Scale problem that I have.

  While I am confident that picking one up would be the most accurate way to tell an Assassin from a Leaf Footed bug, I will try that only as a last resort...... or after a few beers, Hahahaha   That is a good article.  It is amazing how similar they look!

    Oh crap, you may be on to something!  I am pretty sure that they are Assassin bugs but will do a little more research and try to get some pictures.  Do you know of a good way to ID them?

Okay, so I came home the other day and find my best looking SB is completely wilted and the tops of the leaves looked like they were sprayed with sugar water.  As I inspected the plants I noticed that the underside of the leaves were covered in small black dots.  I took my hand and rubbed the...

  Looks like I have some flicking to do!

  I definitely think that is what it is.  Thanks!

Any guess as to what kind of bug this is?  Is it friend or foe?  I have looked all over the internet and cannot identify it.  I have had something munching my peppers and upon inspection of my plants I found an Armyworm and this guy.  He is about a half inch long and has very good eyesight.  If...

  I am already hooked!  I was just trying to make good jerk sauce, now I have another hobby. SMH

  Thanks, that sounds like a plan.

  Great advice...…….. love it!  Thanks
