    ID different seeds from China - Thread finished

    Tried to get a Chinese person to translate it but she wasn't able too. Said the names were not written clearly on the packages. I'm not expecting to identify all but more is better so I can learn what they are and how to grow them the best way. These are the ones I know what are: Row 1: Done...

    Was labeled pinocchio's nose but looks like Jalapeno?

    This plant came from a seed company claiming it was pinocchio's nose pepper. All other came true without this one plant. Sure looks like a Jalapeno but I've never seen those brown walls inside a Jalapeno before. The heat was a real surprise too, gave me stomach pain. Felt more spicy than many...

    water Water chiller for reservoir?

    Hi guys! Are there anybody out there using water chiller for keeping a stable and good temperature in the reservoir? These devices seem pretty expensive! Any suggestions about other methods to decrease reservoir temperatures? Would it be possible to put an ice bottle into the reservoir as a...

    Neem oil giving leaf drop

    I guess the damage done is done. Yesterday at night right when grow lights turn off I sprayed my plants with neem oil because I've seen thrips. The need oil was 8ML into 1L of water. This morning I woke up and there is flowers and leaves everywhere that has fallen off. Some of the pods seem...

    indoor Thrips in indoor hydro system!

    Here I was thinking that my indoor plants were doing good then I noticed a small sucker. When I tried to kill it, it jumped away. Should I go crazy and spray everything down or give it some time and see how things play out? I've only noticed one thrip so far and no effect on leaf foliage. I...

    Hydroponics category under Growing Hot Peppers

    This might have been suggested elsewhere, tried a search in this part of the forum but no results. I think it would be really nice to have our own category for people growing in hydroponics. Would be more convenient when looking for specific information related to what type of growing a person...

    Yet another leaf question!

    I'm thinking this could be nutrient burn. Honestly that's what I think it is but nutes burn normally appear more in the edges than the middle. Mine are showing more symptoms in the middle than edges. Can anybody confirm if I'm right or wrong? For sure I know it's not cal/mag deficiency. They...

    How strong air pump is needed?

    By using one Hailea High Pressure Air Compressor 20w Aco308 which have 4 outlets. The pump gives out 45 Liter per minute divided by 4 outlets. Which is 11.25 Liter per 2.6 gallon tank that I plan to use. Then by curiosity I checked out what General Hydroponics WaterFarm uses for air...

    Round Polo Ceramic Airstone, bad or good?

    I'm looking for opinions about this type of airstones for a 10 pot homemade DWC system. Will they start floating by themselves? This is what they look like: I'm already using some of these. Very handy because it keeps itself sunk and doesn't float up.

    What story is this leaf telling?

    This was one of the worst leaves on the Manzano/Rocoto plant I have in hydroponics food and drain system. This leaf were on the bottom part of the plant, receiving very little light. Outer edges getting yellow/browning is normally sigh of over fertilizing? Don't see that as a valid reason...

    overwintering Two sick overwintered plants, give them up?

    So here's the story to both of them. Help appreciated! When bringing this plant back to warmth and light it produced pale green leaves. In a month it had barely done anything when it comes to growth. Then I decided to pot it up and add a bit of nutrients, which clearly gave it a bit of...

    Smallest ornamental pepper plant?

    What do you guys think is the smallest ornamental pepper plant? For me it seems to be my Prairie Fire plant, only about 2 inches tall and first flower ready to open soon! It's in a DWC system by the way, plant seems healthy enough :) Couple of pictures, tablespoon for comparison.

    So many problems diseases going on..

    The strangest thing is that none of the superhots are affected, only other species. They were all potted up in same mix at same time. Even using milliliter measurement to water them all the same. Makes no sense to me that all superhots are very healthy and all others have different types of...

    Sodium carbonate aka washing soda & soda ash for pH up

    I tried to search on google for a while to find out if there are any answers to my question, didn't find anything specific. Question is: Can washing soda be bad for the plants when used as pH up? What if you end up adding a lot of it, damaging? It sure has worked good at bringing the pH up.

    fertilizer Liquid soil fertilizer in hydro? 7-1-5

    There is a local farmers store that sells pretty affordable liquid soil fertilizer but it's missing calcium, magnesium and sulfur. Reason for this must be that it's meant for soil? Are there any ways to add these specific nutrients to the mix so it's usable for hydro or is this a stupid...
