oh yeah that is the other thingI usually don't pot up until I start seeing roots on the outside of the jiffy (that is, of course, provided some patio-cleaning jackass from above me doesn't obliterate my jiffys first).

Wouldn't have a clue.Never had white flies so don't know what to use. What do they do to the plants?
Treat it the same as you would aphids I guess. Someone else today asked about whitefly, and hawiianAl just said soap and neem.Wouldn't have a clue.
Apparently just the usual like suck life out of the plant and crap.... something to do with mold or something too. One thing I do know though is that broad mites like to hitch a ride on 'em!
Biggest one out the front with flowers is a jalapeno planted April, that has just stayed outside all winter and has had nothing done with it.
Next two biggest are capsicums. The other three large ones are my own habs from my NOT naga plant. They grew really quick, and actually the first plants I potted up and left outside all the time because I wasn't worried about losing them.
Close up of one:
It does look like an Annuum. I grew seeds that were meant to produce Fatalii plants but instead produced one presumed bumpy yellow Chinense hybrid and 4 Habanero plants. I thought at the time that the 4 plants were Annuums because of the leaves resembling those of your pictured seedling.Something that has been bugging me all weekend after posting this.
That does not look chinense to me
I couldn't have mislabelled because there are 4 of them, 3 yellow/orange and a red. All from the NOT nagas, so I know they are a cross breed, but they all look like annuums?
that seedling is only about 3 weeks older than the tiny marouga chinense to the left.
Maybe there's hope for them yet then. But they sure look a lot like the jalapenos and capsicums at this stage. I was not growing any jalapenos or capsicums when I grew these NOT nagas though, so it's not a seed mix up. Edit: but nothing struck me as being not chinense before about them ; they looked 'habbish' when smaller, they've just had a massive growth spurt and changed I think.I thought at the time that the 4 plants were Annuums because of the leaves resembling those of your pictured seedling.
hmm you gotta be really careful when you misx ingredients that they dont react. Should be ok but I remember once thinking the same and mixed epsom salts with confidor and overdosed them and killed them all. So not sure if it was too much epsom salts or the reaction from mixing them, but will never do it again!Looks like the bloody things started pupaing too or something so might pick up some confidor or something and see how that goes. In the meantime, just hit 'em with some eco oil and will see if that does anything.
EDIT:
Question. I just spiked my eco oil mix with Chilli Focus to save time as plants are probably due for a good foliar feed.... should do the trick, aye?
Yeah, I used it once with pretty good results but ended up getting the eco oil last time instead to give it a shot (and save some dosh ). In all honesty, so far it seems to be working just as well! (It worked on my recent infestation of mites.... but as with neem also, only *for now*)Eco-neem is your best bet in my opinion. Already mixed with an emulsifier (vegetables oil) and is UV stable for 28 days on the leaves so it sticks around and spreads out well and is easily mixed.
I just used it for a soil soak to get rid of ants/fungus gnats and also a foliar spray to ward off some (I suspect they were whitefly eggs) whitefly and also a pesky caterpillar had a little munch over night 3 nights ago.
So far hundreds of dead fungus gnats and ants and no return of the whitfly eggs. Just make sure its nice and cool to spray it or it will burn the leaves and also make sure you get the undersides of the leaves as well.
I have used it for a few years now and don't bother with anything else. Best used though before a problem is to out of control. Expensive stuff though.
Good point.hmm you gotta be really careful when you misx ingredients that they dont react.

If they are just in jiffies atm give them some chilli focus or seasol. they need nutes to grow well.
