I've got well over 100 plants going. Haven't counted in awhile. No issues lately outside of some pesky fungus gnats. Today, I noticed 3 plants of the same variety had some curling leaves and what seems to be almost a powdery substance on the underside of the leaves. My first thought was Thrips. I'll let you take a look:
Other potentially relevant info:
* Probably not my greatest idea, but along with some slower growing varieties, I planted 6 jalapenos December 2. They're getting decent sized. I put them on a shelf that has decent lighting, but not quite what they had a week ago. Hoping to slow down the growth a little. So the lighting's changed.
* To treat the fungus gnats, I treated everything yesterday with a bottom watering of a peroxide/water solution.
* Potted in 3" pots 2 weeks ago with a hint of bat guano mixed into the other growing medium (which isn't enriched with nutrients). That's all they've received as far as nutrients go.
Worried I have yet another bug problem. If so, what should I do? Ditch the plants that are showing signs immediately (they're my biggest, but pretty expendable, as they are fast growing jalapenos & can be replaced). Thanks!
