I do not. These are all hot peppers. I had just read something about a 12/12 cycle even for hot peppers.

About 70F. The A/C manages to keep up pretty well.

I have 12 indoor plants. All are about 3-4 months old and at least 1' and some change tall. I have a 400W HPS hanging about a foot over the canopy level. All are aerated as well with 70L/min split between them evenly through a 12 port manifold. For the last 3 months they have been in Sensi Grow...

Update: been growing and all my peppers appear to be growing great under just the HPS.

No idea.

Just bought a pH tester and TDS meter.   Houston - TDS: 180, pH: ~8.4

What are your habits for full reservoir changes vs. just topping off with a pH controlled nute (i.e. Sensi Grow A+B Perfect pH) in my case? I worry about keeping the right pH and ppm by just topping off. For reference I am using one small soup cup stacked inside a large soup cup...

Khang Starr (the guy I watch the most youtube videos from) uses a few pellets of Osmocote in his soil grows and it has boosted his growth greatly.

I mean it led to a week later having a very bushy and full and well shaped plant for me.

If you continue to see the problem or it gets worse look into throwing a little bit of epsom salt into some water and spraying the leaves down.

I agree, most of my leaves look wrinkly until they grow out fully. I don't see any curling which is usually a bigger sign of some sort of cal/mag deficiency or over watering.

Everything I have read so far has led me to believe aquaponics is more of a cool way to keep your aquarium running with the added benefit of having the peppers do okay rather than the other way around. Most accounts I see seem to have issues with fruiting and yield using aquaponics.

Not idiotic at all. I don't know much about the FDA and interstate shipping but something you might look into for getting started is selling dehydrated peppers via Cottage Food Laws. We have one in TX that basically says as long as you have a food handler's permit, only sell from your house or...
