I dont have anything else thats why I used it, I normally use a coconut emulsifier. I can grind up some of my home made soap, thats pure. Right now no aphid problems so fingers crossed they all make it outside when the weather improves.

Yes sir, as long as it's made from an organic base (i.e. animal fat) you're good.

I know how frustrating those bastards can be. But if they bounce right back after Neem, something went wrong, or job not done. Hit them again. Make sure you get some in the container, and don't be afraid to repeat. It doesn't even hurt to use it preventatively. Like I said... every 1-2 weeks here, for me. I got through about a half gallon of Neem per season for (6) 4'X4' raised beds, and (2) 35 gallon sub irrigated planters.

Good luck to you, man. I really hope things turn around for you quickly.

Wow! Things are looking great indoors based on recent pics! Would be nice if the outside weather were cooperating too - though it looks like you're making good strides with the garden prep and hopefully you'll have peppers out soon. Do you keep all your Kratky inside or will you migrate any to outside?
Whatever you're doing with that costa rica red is dead on. Looks super happy - along with the others in those Kratky reservoirs. The CRR's can turn out looking about as good as any rocoto out there IMO when they're happy like that.

Im keeping them inside, my sriracha peppers have about four fruit on them others have a few. Gonna keep the basement grow permanent , getting great results. Its getting down to a 5 month growing season now outside.
Was outside this morning and the wind was very cold

Doing another time lapse on the Sriracha Plant.
SO the Aphids have found my Kratky and the spraying has not helped, planting them outside now, only way to save them. Three more tomorrow to plant, its raining off and on.

That's really crappy. I don't know what it is about the aphids you get, but they seem to be a lot more resilient than any I've ever had. Are you rinsing or dunking the plants before transplant to knock down the numbers some or just letting nature take its course? - which I hope is swift and merciless on those bug bastiges.
Let nature takes its course, did spray them with a hose. Thanks!
Non of the Kratky transfers have taken, all shriveling up. Should have transfered the Kratky tubs outside and continued, lesson learned. What a waste
