annuum accidentally make annuum hotter

B

hi guys, a month ago, some of my annuum were attacked by white-fly, since there were only few ladybugs, the condition became uncontrollable... i red some articles suggesting that diluted soap would repelled the pest... but few days after spraying the plant, the plant condition became worst... most of the plant leafs fell off and remaining leafs turned yellow... most of the plant bear only pods without any leaf... oh my god, what happen?

few days later most of mature pods can be harvest leaving unmature pods to be develop by the plant without any leaf... kinda funny bud sad... i tough maybe most of it would die but now only 1 still in bad condition...

surprisingly, the unmature pods remain on the plant, although the pod kinda small, they mature and can be harvest... and quest what? the taste was very hot! hot like thai's bird-eye... damm!!! nice!!!
 
It was stress on the plant that made it hotter. There are a few threads on this matter in thp. :onfire:
BTW soap water does not repel insects.
 
The fatty acids in soap are good for killing most pests but you need to spray very well and often since it may not kill the tiny eggs. Just don't use soaps with acti-bacteria or added fragrance etc.
