PS - I am being 100% sincere, welcome you to THP, and am glad to see another member from Kentucky. I am also very sincere when saying I made a complete and total ass of myself when I joined. Compared to me, what you just did is only a single butt cheek if that much. Moved on and now have some really great online friendships.

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue?
Then ask in Identification.
What are these on my Reapers and Chocolate Bhutlah's

I would say yes AJ, but I'd also say that even then it was clear to me back then that you were genuine and your heart was in the right place. Your attempt here is evidence of that.
Mr Brown - I think/thought your thread was funny - including the part in your sig about being a master gardener but not knowing about the aphids. We're a joking/sarcastic bunch around here (as I'm sure you've discovered) but it is all in good fun and not meant to offend. Remember it's the internet so don't go allowing some typed words on a screen get you upset ok?
And I really would like to see you save those plants with some organic means if possible - I'm always intrigued about stuff like this and I lost all four of my overwinters last year to spider mites.
So you washed them with neem oil and what else? They seem to have recovered quite nicely.

I coated the entire plant 100% top and bottom with neem oil, surfactant 820 and spinosad on Saturday 12/2/2017. I came back 4 hours later and washed the plants down with water that day. I then made a mixture of malathion and surfactant 820 and sprayed the entire plant down 100%. I came back today 12/4/17 and sprayed the plants down again with water only. After this I sprayed the plants down 100% with the mixture of neem oil, surfactant 820 and spinosad and let the plants set for about an hour or so. After this I sprayed the plants down with water only again. I also pulled the liner out of my grow tent and hosed it down with water.
What were your methods for measuring intracellular [Na+] and/or electrical potential? Did they organic-treated levels differ from your controls?
Them's alot of aphids. Dawn soap. rinse, repeat as necessary....ew

I am sure you could find this program in Jefferson County if you were interested AJ. When I took it years ago it was two nights a week 2-4 hours depending on material and this does not include all the field trips. It may say 24 core hours but trust me, you will have many more hours involved than 24. This program in no way makes you an expert but it teaches you some of the basics.

That was sweet, thank you. It was a messed up and scary time in my life. During my exile, a couple people found me on facebook and told me much what I said to the new guy. Figured I would do the same, bu I dont think I have the tact.
I would take it if i could. Hell, i would go for a degree in botany if I could. Also, I forget which university is but one of the ones in Kentucky is now offering a degree in sustainability. I drooled when i heard about that one. My wife and I have two kids, have two loaner kids from our extended family, and I do not drive anymore. Not really possible to do much away from the farm.browndd1 said:
Years ago, I did take the micro processing / home processing classes. So far, all things extension office seem great.
