One last shot at it... DeNNiZ 2015 glog

I hope your successful in killing those mites. The plants you do have look healthy, so does the siling labuyo, I grew it abut 3 years ago, very productive.

Spicytigger · Jan 15, 2015

Good to see you back King

Pulpiteer · Jan 16, 2015

I'll chime in - glad you're back on, and I hope you take it to those mites! Did you find anything in your classes to combat them (apart from Jamie's suggestion that is)? Do they have natural predators?

Great luck this season!

ronniedeb · Jan 18, 2015

Best of luck for 2015 Denniz. Hope you succeed in eradicating the mites.

Nice to see you giving it another shot. Hope everything works out for you this year man. Some nice green healthy plants you've got going. Hope the pink tigers grow out proper for you, some cool looking pods.

This will truly be my final year st this level.. it's disheartening all the time and effort spent ..all to feed the bugs

As for the pink tigers. I'm hopeful as the seeds I have are 3rd generation at least

The variety is unstable

Thanks for dropping by.

Good luck controlling the pests this time!

How did your miracle fruit plants do? They seem to be some fragile organisms!

I hope so... now that I know what I'm dealing with. Should be better...

As for the miracle fruit I had maybe 20 fruits from plants. Prolly didn't give them optimal conditions

Good luck, and I hope you whip those nasty little bugs.

thanks John... hope to keep them out.. now with my new found knowledge... hope to have a monster year like ya'll do

Jeff H said:
Dennis, good luck this year bud.

I hear you on the damn mites. They haven't devastated my whole crop like they have at your place, but all of my pubes seem to get repeatedly infested every year and the destruction really hurts fruit production. I'll be following your grow again this year to see if your sulfur works.

I do have the same microscope as you, bought it last year so I wouldn't just be guessing at what was killing my monzanos. It is handy. Those mites look really creepy at 60X. (mine are broad mites as far as I can tell)

yawpp... not only do i have my tiny mites.. but also the red ones that kill my maters and other veggies.. this year.. predatory mites!!!

Don't give up is right, keep at it! Looks to be an already excellent start to this growing season... will certainly keep an eye on any updates. Can't wait to get those Red MOA Scotch Bonnets started I got from you! Best of luck- show those buggers whose boss!

im trying not to give up.. but one can only be heart broken this much... good luck with them red scotch bonnets mon

Yes sir, glad to see your back in the game. I had followed some of your misfortunes, as two seasons ago I seemed to be attacked by something very similar, if not identical. For some odd reason last year I was left alone for most the season, until about October where I started loosing some plants in my raised beds, which for the most part I was ready to pull anyways. But I think what if I get hit earlier in the season what would I do, so I will be watching as to what success you will be having with the sulfur. Best of luck to you my friend.

get yourself a loupe 60x.. $5 on ebay and can help confirm..unlike mine.. took it to a lab that cost me $150!!

Looking like a great start. Best of luck this year.

thanks sic.. hope you have a bumper year like you normally do.. good luck with your new greenhouse OP

Hey Denniz, Sorry to hear about your microscopic bug problem you have had the last couple years and hope you can arrest that this season. My first thought from looking at all your plants inside now may be that they are over fertilized. The plants are a very dark green with lot of soft green vegetative material for the mites to suck and live on. I know you want your plants to have the very best, but overdoing the ferts can be detrimental to your bug problem. Good luck in 2015!

thanks for the heads up... i dont do much ferts other than whats on the aerogarden nutes

Devv said:
Glad to see such nice looking plant Denniz!

And yes, never give up!

This is my third season here, and I saw the sulfur tip on Jamie's glog the first year. It works really well and does kill aphids. If you add 1% pyrethrum, it will get them first round in many cases.

Good luck this season, you're off to a great start!

Scott..hope i dont have to use the sulfur... but its hard not to..hope to have a bumper crop so i can repay you for your awesome packages..

KiNGDeNNiZ · Jan 23, 2015

One of the last harvest ar my sisters yard. Debating if I should pull it or let them be..
As they also succumb to the same micromites I had there

I will be bold and eat a whole pod! !

I pulled this from the aero since it was cramped up.. didn't want to raise the lights and make the others struggle

To hydro or to soil...

To sow. Or not to sow...

PaulG · Jan 23, 2015

Good to see you rollin' along, Denniz.

The plant you took from the aerogarden almost looks fake

Looks like you're rolling right along DeNNiZ... It's nice to see all that green. You must have plants in every free space around the house.

Very nice Denniz!

Glad to see the success you're having this season!

ThePepperTrent · Feb 7, 2015

Keep at it! Those plants are looking good. Hopefully you can over throw those mites. Nasty things. Nice collection, good luck in 2015.

Trying to keep them healthy... but when I'm starting to see red mites on a couple plants here and there it's no good esp when they are still indoors. Ahah

Thanks. I have an aerogarden in the garage I'm trying to grow and keep far away from the rest

Jeff H · Feb 10, 2015

Plants are looking very healthy Denniz. Keep it up.

Devv · Feb 10, 2015

I've had critters invade when the plants are in the grow shelf in the house. I can't imagine where they come from. This year it's been Aphids. Last year mites.

Don't cut them any slack!
