I've heard sulphur powder holds them at bay.   Are they in pots or ground?

Thrips cause similar damage from what I understand. Definitely get a loupe and go scouting. Had a larvae on one plant but he dead now and Spinosad is on the order list.

Looks like a bit of grey leaf spot (or a close cousin) as well as a pest chewing on leaves. I'd guess earwig given the moisture but you know what they about guesses? I completely forgot. And the water. I'd third or fourth the idea of covering the soil or plants.

  Ah shit, the sensitivity is contagious. Does it make more sense? Please to kindly unknot those knicks.

Metal. Organic is a loose term, I'm just cracking wise. If you're comfortable, use it. Certification doesn't mean much, it just changed the products used improperly and to excess.

I haven't had a problem with earwigs but they're ravaging a few plants nearby. The peppers have a strip of Tanglefoot around the base and I've been assuming it helps.   There is a method to reduce their population by using soaked rolled up newspaper, not entirely sure how effective it is.  ...

It is a rather odd symptom.   Using epsom to provide calcium is a good way to get a calcium deficiency. Note the bubbling, misshapen leaves.   I'd assume these are the first few to have worked their way through the lime the soil came with and that the others will gradually do the same...

Look for BetaTestTeam on ICmag. A few of the posters on Logical Gardener provide soil testing I believe and would be good people to track down.

Might want to check out the guaranteed analysis on the MG product you're using and compare to a more reputable one part like Foliage Pro. If I recall most MG doesn't have iron (correction, it does), calcium or magnesium. Better to find a complete fertilizer than to chase deficiencies with...

If you stay on top of things and scout frequently it's possible to live without pest infestations. That doesn't mean it isn't going to happen but with proper treatment any situation can be resolved. With good cultural practices and a controlled beneficial environment (many pests prefer hot and...

A few likes later and I'm all caught up.   Beauty plants, bit of a picture of health. Gives me something to aim for hehe.

Dun firgit the price.

If you aren't looking for many, hit me up with a PM. Haven't even opened the pack I have and won't pop that many either way.

Earwigs feed in a similar manner to some of the damage pictured. Looks to be a bit of calcium deficiency as well.

Never had a problem using soap and oil two or three times a year. Bringing them inside last year was one and done. Hard water is probably causing any burns, most insecticidal soaps have a warning on the bottle. 30ppm out of the tap hehe     Anyone try alcohol?   Not so much as a "Fucking aphids...

Dandelions? :D There are less virulent soil breakers too.

1. Day temp too high >95F 2. Night temp too low <65F 3. Too much nitrogen fertilizer 4. Too much water 5. Low light levels (reduces fertility). 6. Very low humidity (reduces fertility) 7. Poor air circulation (air circulation contributes to pollination). 8. Lack of pollinating insects. 9. Size...

I'd be leaning towards low humidity. Couldn't get pollen indoors until I went over 50%.

What does the underside look like?

Last time I did something like this, I broke cardboard boxes down into sheets and wrapped them around the rootball/pot to make a tube to fit within another box. Worked well, though they were only two days in the box.
