Hi all

Pepper plant, fed organic nutes, 5 gal pot, poly tunnel, hot sunshine

what do you think this is?

First of all you have a significant sucking pest insect problem. Those white flecks tho hard to see are likely shed aphid skin as they grown in size.

- the black is probably black mold growing on honeydew excreted by the aphids.

What is the daytime high and overnight low temps in the polytunnel? These need to be monitored. Use analog or digital max/min temp thermometer.

Thanks

It has been very hot in tunnel, around 115f day and 75f night, so I cut the sides and opened it up so that the sides are open for better ventilation,,,,should I spray them? I just got green cleaner, is that mold and bugs harmful?
Thank you
