thanks will do!

It was designed for direct application, but this is indoor and under a t5... assuming that was my issue? Can the plants be saved? They have already been through so much i'm really worried about them.

I don't know what I did wrong besides follow the instructions... My peppers were showing signs of calcium deficiency so I decided to go ahead and apply a calcium foliar spray to treat leaf deformity and blossom drop, both of which I was experiencing. Upon applying the spray, about 30 minutes...

Hey all, so it turns out the aphids HAD spread. I found several of my plants lightly infested... At this point I knew what I had to do. I made a soap solution as suggested and drenched every one of them in and out. I think the aphids are gone/dead but now I have a new concern. My 2 jalapeno...

Thank you everyone, this has been extremely helpful... So from what i'm hearing 1. Hit them hard the first time and aim for full resolution. Follow with 2-3 more treatments albeit lighter, to make sure if any smaller aphids, or those in hiding/hatch-lings re-surge, they are eradicated as well...

What is a good treatment schedule to prevent a "relapse" and re-population of the aphids that is not too severe on the plant? I will say that my initial solution was, quite potent, and I intended it that way. I let that soak for an hour or so, and then just rinsed it all off, alas it did go into...

Alright, rinsed very thoroughly, noticed all the run off was very cloudy.... Very glad I rinsed. Made sure all the drip off was clear when I finished and that none remained. At this time I see no aphids, and if there is any i'd confidently say they are dead. A small concern of mine is the run...

How important is the rinse solution? I have not rinsed yet... might need to do that asap considering how much I hit the hab and just let it soak multiple times. I can tell you what aphids were on the plant are dead! No movement at all... 

Question, was my overzealous treatment of dish soap mixed with antiseptic mouthwash and water, sprayed on very generously something that made a mark? My goal was complete obliteration on the first round of treatment so the plant can just recover and hopefully will not need further removal of...

I posted a picture of all the plants on my original welcome thread, and just put one up of the Hab on this thread.. They will all remain indoors due to the fact I live on a 3rd floor apartment and it's much too windy and not enough sunlight on the balcony despite being in Texas. 

So, the Habanero, which is my favorite type of pepper, turns out to be one of the trickiest for me to grow. I had bought 1 originally from HD, very healthy and large, and within 3 days all of the leaves had shriveled up and fallen off, I assume this is due to transplant shock. I found it very...

Hello everyone my name is Adam, a.k.a superhotshot. I just recently got back into gardening after a long hiatus, and found a new love specifically for peppers. The wide array of flavors and warmth they bring to dishes I find to be truly amazing. I have had gardens previously of all different...
