Ok, so Im late for the last check in but early for the next :lol: Anyway, I am about to repot the bigger ones but not until I clean up the plants around them. I have almost taken care of all the aphids but to be sure, I am going to change the soil and wash the pants down. I even went so far as...

I made up a garlic, oil, soap spray that seemed to work a bit. Apparently aphids don't like garlic, so I planted a bulb in with my Japlenos. It grew like a weed.. no aphids on that plant. I still have some on the others though but they seem to be more controlled now. I'm going to swap out the...

I too bought seeds from ebay and although they grew well, did not grow into what I had bought. However after an email to the vendor, he sent whole pods, seeds intact with little question (bhut jolokia, naga morich, devil's tongue). All he asked was that I send him a picture of what grew from the...

If you buy from ebay (and i speak from experience) do research on the seller and ask him questions. See if he has any pics and how long he has been growing and selling. Most sellers only sell you about 10 seeds, not the total amount they get from one pepper, so if they sent you the pepper, they...

Man, S.S. yours are looking fantastic! I wish mine looked like that. Well, after a busy weekend with friends and family, fighting aphids and finishing a knife for an auction, I finally got a picture taken. The aphids had managed to infest my challenge seedlings but I took them to my laundry room...

I will post some pics as soon as I get a minute, had some friends over and am cleaning up.. however, when showing off the challenge plants, I saw a bunch of aphids. I guess the transferred over when I had them open. I have to find some stuff that wont kill the plant but will get the aphids. sigh..

I googled aphid infestation.... That pic looks remarkably similar. Ugh.. creeps me out just looking at it. I get mad when I have 5 or 6 on a leaf.

Well, after much waiting (and not much hope), I received a nice fat envelope today containing 3 peppers with seeds. As soon as I opened the envelope, the smell jumped right out at me hehe. Even in baggies, you could smell the heat. I have another jiffy pellet container that I will plant some of...

I have fruit trees outside my house and I had my peppers nearby and think I picked up aphids and white flies from them. I never thought of sticky tape... just a vacuum hehe

nitwit, that was funny. I actually do plant stuff as "an experiment" I have planted peppers at various times throughout the year in homemade greenhouse like things (2L pop bottles, upside down jars etc) and leave them in a window that gets a lot of light. I am currently in the grow challenge and...

Nope, you can't back out, isn't that the whole idea- to see what happens? Im sure they will pop soon ad catch up within a week or so.

Have the day off, so I am updating my pics now hehe. Everyone is up and looking good, I take the lid off in the afternoons and put it back on in the evening and occasionally put it on the radiator to keep the heat up inside. Well, here they are. How is everyone else doing?

I had to do something, I was mad :hell: I got a fair amount and cleaned off he dead leaves hehe. Im not saying I would do it all the time but you never know, I might do it again later.

The plants I am overwintering have flowers and pods now and they have been inside since the start of October.

Ok, I'm going to have to find some. I came home today and they were all over my plants. I am tired of playing nice, I took the vacuum to the plants and then covered them in spray... I doubt that will do it but it should at least hold them back until I can get this miracle stuff. jerks...

I was just trying to find out if anyone had heard of this. I couldn't find anything on any of the websites and i haven't been able to get hold of the proper department on the phone. Yes, it is irrelevant but I am curious. He sounded like a blow hard when I first started talking to him but if he...

I haven't ad an issue yet with the peat pellets, once I pot up, use a vegetable mix with higher nitro and when put them in ground, I mixed sheep compost with black earth (about 1 for 2). When I repotted the couple for overwinter, I went back to the veg mix with some worm castings. Of course...

I found a bunch of aphids on my plants the other day and bought some spray at the hardware store. It barely bothered them at all, so after reading about using soap spray and other remedies, I took some vinegar water that my wife uses for cleaning, mixed in some dish soap and some hot chili oil...

I was on the border services and Food regulations sites already trying to find some information and there wasnt anything directly relating to ghost peppers. Of course you may have to call and find out but thats neither here nor there. I was asking because the guy that mentioned it just moved...

Fred? He looks like a Fred. Or maybe a Harry.
