I'm also thinking of doing a deep water bucket grow and dedicating a room of my house to growing. I was wondering if somebody could explain too me the flowering cycle of peppers. I have been searching but cant make sense of it. -Does it happen in waves, is it continuous is it only on new growth...

Hmmm well all I can think of is you probably want something organic. Other than that im not sure either.

I was actually just going to ask about growing peppers in DWC. Do you know what your going to use for nutrients ?
