    Got my plants from chileplants.com

    As always, they look fantastic.  This is the 4th or 5th year I've purchased from them.  Great variety to choose from.  I live in North Carolina so I'll be putting these out soon in fabric pots, last year I got a really good crop from 12 plants.  Anyone else use these folks for their pepper...

    hydroponic Hydroponic Issue Need Help

    I didn't cheat, I filled it up to the very top and then put the nutes in one at a time and used the airstone to help mix the solution, then grow, then bloom.  The root had a right angle which is why I decided to put in so much solution, I wanted the roots to be touching the solution/air mix...

    hydroponic DIY guide: how to make off grid hydroponic self watering container

    My plant is getting bigger quickly with this system, I used the costco black container, pvc snorkel, 5 upside down solo cups to hold the top with the holes drilled in it, and holes drilled in the cups , two wicking solo cups with holes drilled, a carefully measured side hole for overflow, and...

    hydroponic DIY guide: how to make off grid hydroponic self watering container

    Google+ won't let me post my picture, but I have created the pepper machine in a black tote with a single Bonda Ma Jacques plant, I can't wait to see what it does!   This is almost exactly what mine looks like minus the corner squares cut out.   How long should it take for the wicking to reach...

    hydroponic DIY guide: how to make off grid hydroponic self watering container

    I can't answer from experience but if the solo cups reach the bottom of the container with the edges of the cup cut off, and or holes in the bottom of the cups, that would allow for maximum wicking of the solution into the dirt.  I would also imagine that once the roots reach down through the...

    It is a gorgeous view! I also got my masterblend/calcium/mag in the mail, can't wait to start using it. You ever get the urge to climb those mountains back there?

    hydroponic DIY guide: how to make off grid hydroponic self watering container

    Looks like Hydro-gardens has it for $51.50 for the 25 lb tomato formula, as opposed to 25lb Masterblend for $40 + $12 in shipping, guess it depends on whether or not hydro-gardens ships for free which I doubt.

    I can get the Calcium and Epsom, just need the Masterblend.  Am I better off getting it directly from them so you don't have to worry about the hassle?

    hydroponic DIY guide: how to make off grid hydroponic self watering container

    I picked those Flora products up at the same store I got the BX at, it's really the only place around Charlotte I know of that sells that stuff so I'm kinda stuck.  Agreed, obviously $.01 is much better than $.14, and if it works, then that's definitely the route I'll take in the future.  I was...

    hydroponic DIY guide: how to make off grid hydroponic self watering container

    Per Quart concentrated Flora Gro/Bloom is $12.50, Flora Micro is $16.00, all cheaper than Amazon had them for.  Amazon had 3.8 cu ft of BX for $75, that is to ship it to Saturn probably, seems like a reasonable price for that trip.

    hydroponic DIY guide: how to make off grid hydroponic self watering container

    I bought the 3 part system of Flora Gro, started feeding my potted plants some and hopefully the will respond well with it.  I plan on building an earth box clone like the ones you have this week, I'll see if I can get some pics up.  I was able to get some Pro-Mix BX for $39 at the local...
