Sort of a funny question, but if I continue to do this through harvest, am I going to have "spicy" hops??
Background: As of last week, I had several known problems with my hop plants: slugs, whiteflies, and aphids. I read about and made a solution out of one chopped jalepeno soaked in warm water for a few hours, and a few drops of dish soap. I started spraying it and the pests appear to be gone and the plants doing great now.
I've seen a lot of going back and forth on here between organic vs conventional sprays, but so far this seemingly harmless stuff is doing the trick for me.
