Yeah sadly im about to get rid of them, i have planted new seedlings. even after pruning they came back with a bigger force, before it was just a small amount now all 6 entire pepper plants is kind of covered in aphids and showering it doesn't do much, 2 days later theyre back with 5 times the...

i ended up trimming the chillies back a pretty big bit at least for the oldest chili that i have just let grow for many years, i guess it have helped so far. the aphids probably will find their way back eventually but much easier to keep the chili free of aphids or at least at low rate that it...

Ofcourse id rather have them survive but it feels like getting rid of them is impossible as i fought them for like 6 months with the shower during last years winter as well and now it will be the same thing again for like 6 months, the plants i have is not so very tall or big other then the...

Im closing in to my second winter now where my 7 chilli plants that i have is getting aphids in the end of summer, the chillies stay outside in a greenhouse during summer time, but inside during after summer time because its like 5c outside now, i didn't take the chili plants in before it was...

ah i see, so removing the petals is kind of important then if i want to be sure its cross pollinated, i guess il have to start doing that thanks.

Thanks, how do i know if the plant is a father or mother plant tho? i only have 1 carolina and the rest is weaker form of chili plants from 10.000-100.000 scoville

i use like a small cup and shake the pollen from carolina into the cup and then manually pollinate the other chillies using the pollen in the cup with a qtip, i guess its not 100% like others do with cutting of the flowers petals before pollinating, but most of the pollen i use to pollinate is...

How do i know if my pepper have turned T1-T5? i have been cross pollinating my peppers for about 3 years now mostly using carolina reaper pollen on weaker chilies but i dont really see much difference other then this big red pepper that is supposed to be green unless the seed vendor in instanbul...

ah sorry, tough it would be a place to ask since were kind of both doing the same just you have more knowledge about it i guess, cross breeding is mainly what interests me in the pepper growing part.

What can the issue be for the deforming of the leaves and the brownish colors on the berry plants i bough about 5 months ago? i had a bit of aphids issue in the start which seems to be gone now, but the leaves keep deforming and the brownish color worries me a bit, what could it be and how do i...

How do i know if my pepper have turned T1-T5? i have been cross pollinating my peppers for about 3 years now but i dont really see much difference other then this big red pepper that is supposed to be green unless the vendor i bough it of when i was traveling to Istanbul told me wrong, could it...

that would be fun to watch to be honest, but i live in norway. so the ladybuys probably wont survive that long travel, and i rarely see ladybugs here i live, but once i toke the plants outside in greenhouse a month ago the aphids started to slow down, i can still see a few of them but i think...

Had this issue with my seedlings a while ago, just do what said above or if you really want to remove the seed coat, drop a bit of water on helmet and wait few min and then slowly try to pull it of. but dont use to much force, be gentle.

i bough Lavender flowers from a gardenstore, when i got it alot of white looking dust fell down into my greenhouse which now later ive found out was the egg of the aphids which i had no clue of back then and ignored it, so even stuff you buy in a store that are supposed to be professional it can...

i have struggled this winter with aphids indoors, no matter what i do they keep coming back and spreading to all other plants but in very small numbers. The best method ive found so far is taking the plant to the shower and wrap the soil bucket into plastic so it doesnt get filled with water...

i gave up on this project a week ago, nothing had changed on the stump other then some white looking substances on the tip of the stump, kinda looked like bubbly soap in small scale, no clue what it was, i didnt touch it or such. just yeeted it out and have a new plant of same type that is...

the potatoes grew pretty good indoors, but it attracted a lot of aphids so i removed the entire plant, but when i ripped the potato plant outoff dirt before i threw it out i could see smaller potatoes being made so its defiantly something that would be cool to do in a bigger scale as it was cool...

@CaneDog i'm still struggling with the aphids, I'm not sure how they keep coming back. i found the shower method best for my mature grown plant and dip into bucket of water while rubbing the leaves with hand for the smaller plants/seedlings. but even if i do this everyday, the aphids keep...

is there any pepper plant that are either natural or human breeded that can handle cold climates? if not is it possible to cross breed my own chili to be able to handle colder temperatures or is this impossible? if possible, how would i go forward into doing this?

when i had issues with my pepper to give fruit, it keept giving flowers that eventually dropped instead. my solution was to change the temperature during night a to about 60-65F and it started to get fruit
