As a suggestion. Just stick a cut of the chilli in a glass of water on your kitchen windowsill and it will root eventually (providing it doesnt run out of water). I don't know any plant that doesn't root like that. It takes a while but it will root. If you have any problems with rooting clones try using willowtree bark tea for the clones Seep te bark in hot water to make a tea. Contains indolebutyric acid IBA and Salicylic acid SA....works wonders. Check it on Google. Good luck with the clones.

Mohican and I are having a discussion on my thread about my aphid problems. Those dudes have full cycle changes, larvae to winged, to a-sexual producing mofos....and then they have the ants to protect them and herd them for their honeydew. Do you have an ant problem @Joe Blows Trees trees? My ant problem is creating the aphid problem. I have 2 little boys and I am very reluctant to put down ant powders etc, incase the wee dudes start thinking it's candy or something (pretty much everything goes into their gobs, lol).

EDIT: Oh, and with me they start off with the white fly and then they get to adult green stage. I can see you also have them at the white stage too.

I thankfully don't have ants @DST but I did put it outside a few weeks ago and had to save it from the squirrels so they may have already been on it when I brought it back inside. I just killed a few stragglers from my treatment last night. Atleast I'm aware they're around my house and I'm researching what plants attract ladybugs to help me naturally win this battle.

Maybe the plants are giving out signals. All my plants are in pots of some form as I am growing on a rooftop. I've seen them on my lettuces but checking my lettuce, no aphids. Fukkin ants, grrrr! I just got these organic capsules that you put in the soil, they are supposed to keep them away. Lets see.http://www.bioservice.be/nl-nl/search.htm?query=bladinsecten (sorry, it's in Dutch, but there is English on the site if anyone wants to read it.)

Good idea. Are they climate sensitive? I think hyroot posted a vid on a thread awhile ago and a grower in Jamaica I believe used the leaves from the tree around his plants.

Im not sure about climate sensitive but ive found a place that sells them in another state and they emailed me to let me know they can freight live plants to me along with other neem plants
I aim on getting 2 one i can grow in the enclosure with the mj and one i can put in my newly built chilli greenhouse

Sorry 4 the bad news Ruby.
Big hugs brother (not the pecker toughing type of hug, but the "I feel for you" type of hug).
1/2 of us will die from cancer. Sad to say, but your partner was part of the majority. The food they feed us, the water we drink, the air we breath all polluted and slowly killing us. And for what? The all mighty dollar (well dollar here in the states). Such bull shit! The sad thing is that we're all hooked, and it's heavily grooved into our everyday life style. We wait in lines for it. Life has become an "instant" micro-waveable world we live in. WE want what we want, and we want it now!!!
Guess todays lifestyle comes at a cost!
Hang in there buddy, we all go away sooner or later, death WILL catch us all!
