They're going apeshit for my pepper plant. It's like a biblical plague or something. Any ideas on how to get rid of them? Vinegar in a cup next to the plant is doing about nothing.
They're doing excellent. It's doubled in size since I posted this thread originally. Many more leaves. Thicker stem.
Nutrients was definitely the problem.
I'm afraid to take out the plant because the plants that died recently had the root system of a clover. I'm certain it would die. The roots were only spread out like 3 inches and there were 2 or 3 major roots about a millimeter in diameter with a few tiny ones growing out.
Somehow I got water...
They were dying because my father kept drowning them every 4 hours and they all got damping off while I was on vacation. This is all that's left once I got them away from him.
Yeah, it's definitely just the right amount of water. I can set them right next to the north side of my house and they'd only get an hour or two of direct sun all day.
It's way bigger than even a fully grown plant would need, trust me. The roots probably aren't even 1/3 of the way across it yet.

I planted my scorpions back in February I think. The only one that's still alive is 4 or 5 inches high and doesn't have a ton of leaves. I used 1:1:1 perilite, peat moss, and potting soil. Otherwise a while ago I put a little bit of blood meal in their diet once or twice but haven't done that...
We're all here to learn I guess. Hopefully the rest of the plants (at least) turn out okay.
I got a reply fast and that should help me keep from killing the rest of my plants for another few days.
So just to get this out of the way. There is a fan blowing on them with a good bit of force. There is absolutely no drainage restriction in any way on either the trays or the pots. I peroxided the soil around all of the plants, including the dead/dying one, and put soil up to the bottom leaves...
