RE: Bhut Jolokia - Last Update Until Next Year

in #esteem4 years ago

haha you got a million peppers! Good luck with overwintering your plant.
I had a gnat problem on plants once, and I put small dishes (metal jar lids really) with apple cider vinegar on each post near the stem. The gnats drown themselves in it.

Hi @owasco,
The overwintering is proving to be a rather painless process. Luckily this plant was not near the others and didn't get infected. It needs just a light watering here and there, but it's plenty comfortable right now, I'm sure :)

I found the main infestation, (which was just one plant really, and unfortunately they killed the mother plant, which I did save some clippings from and am in cloning process currently.) and with the others, sprinkled a small bit of cinnamon atop the soil. I'm seeing zero adult gnats currently. I also upgraded my lighting system to LED full spectrum red/blue (which I read gnats don't like too much as well) and everything is going great.

I am going to be making a post within the next day or two updating the status of my little garden.

I needed to take a bit of a break from Steem and tend to some real life things for the past couple of days lol.

I really appreciate the advice, and might need to utilize it soon, as I'm planning to grow some vegetables as well. It's nice to have this here as a resource. Your kind words and advice are very much appreciated, thank you so much! :)
