That's odd. IMO looks like some form of bacterial wilt 

  yep was referring to the soapy water :) home remedies I think are ok if that's all you have access to, or as an immediate countermeasure. Don't get me wrong I know it works to an extent, and I know it has a place for people who are not into using "real" insecticides, but science will have...

I would spray them with some real insecticide, not a home remedy, if I was serious about solving the problem and not intent on dealing with continued issues.

  any / all of the above. most would disolve a teaspoon or so per 1L of water and water it in. many will also apply the same mixture with foliar spray. im quite lazy and would usually just sprinkle a little on the soil.

Looks healthy enough. would not think too much into that. leaves cupping upwards is generally a sign of magnesium deficiency, or can even just happen when the leaves are growing quickly. IMO do nothing and just keep an eye on it. there are no signs of the other sign to mag deficiency which is...

  Im sure it will help. I know you understand but just to throw another random example out there as I think the bottom fertilising is really silly.    If our goal was to water log a loaf of bread using liquid fertilisier.    Method 1 = pour the liquid fert straight over the top of it. Douse the...

Logic would suggest that you should do it from the top. That way nutrients will pass down and be spread through the entire soil column.   Im not sure how well nutrients travel upwards..logic would suggest not as well as downwards anyway. Some of the heavier minerals are not going to want to...

Microwaving your soil wont help in this case as they are not in the soil.   The eggs are not in the soil, nymphs are not in the soil, and neither are the flies. Psyllids do not persist in soil and spend no part of their lives or reproduction cycle in the soil.   OP how are you plants going? I...

without knowing anything, i would say it looks wet and cold. whats the temp there? problems caused by over watering will be compounded in cooler temps as the roots have even more tendency to rot as they stay wet and cold/waterlogged.  

would be interested to hear more about the potential benefits of the clover.. I often have it growing in my pots. I usually leave it for quite awhile till I get the willpower to pull it all out. If its beneficial in some way i could be even lazier and not pull it out. Im all for doing less.

  oh yes ill have plenty of pods. I don't really do much with the supers. I just like to grow them. I could send you some pods if your'e short :)

The nights are getting cold here now so things are really slowing down. I moved most of the potted plants under a tree where they will stay and we will see which are hardy enough to survive the winter.   the weird hybrid plants are coming along and most have flowers but im not sure we will see...

yea you dont want it underneath..that would hinder the roots growing down and into the earth below (if the plants ever got large enough)

  Intruder from outside. The flies that lay the eggs are very mobile. The eggs need to be laid on good fresh growth as they hatch into the scale insects directly on the plant, and are not very mobile, and need to feed on the plant sap to continue life. If it managed to hatch in the soil it would...

  Neem oil may help a little but I dont think it will have a major impact.  Reasons being neem works via contact only, so you need to be very vigilant and ensure you hit all the bugs with it, which is generally close to impossible with a few plants. Secondly, neem may have minimal effect on them...

No.   I have dealt with hundreds of plants with them by now. It sucks but take note of what I wrote above.   Im not familiar with Azamax but I hear good things about it. It may work. I have first hand experience with what I suggested though on the pest you have, with about a hundred examples...

    Psyllids!!!!  I know them well...very well actually.  They are one of the worst pests to deal with. IMO rivaled only by broad mites.    if you look closley at the edges of leaves & undersides you will see little yellow/orange spots almost attached by little strings. Those are the eggs. The...

  Well then its too quick for either excess nutes or over watering to do that anyway. (Neither of which will  actually do that anyway) All I see in your image is, a leaf with some dirt on it, that has probably been nibbled by a caterpiller or something.  Maybe slight shock from transplant but...

id say that just looks like outdoor wear n tear

Common knowledge around here says that you need to top it, and pluck the flowers if you are to get any pods...looks like you have some work to do :)
