I'll have to take another look at my spectrum and make sure it lines up with what the peppers need.     I used epsom off and on in my outdoor peppers, but never really saw a difference.  I use GH MaxiGrow and switch to a 1/2 MaxiGrow 1/2 MaxiBloom mixture when the fruits arrive.  I would assume...

  I'm also in Florida, having the same white fly problems. Thank you for telling us about your Imidacloprid use!

  Solid7, which LED panels do you use?  I used MH/HPS many years ago, but only have recent experience with the new LEDs from China (Love the fact that I don't need a cooling system or the need to buy those expensive bulbs).  I have no reason to believe these don't do well, and 600w seems like...

Pretty stable, pretty much a 75-76 when lights are on, 72-73 when lights are off.   I try to lower the PPM by diluting with daily top-offs of very low PPM tap water+nutrient+hydroguard (yeah it's a slow drop)   pH swing is worst when I change the reservoirs, which I immediately go from 7 to 6...

Hi everyone!     Just found The Hot Pepper when I was looking for a place to bounce around ideas about my peppers.    I grow peppers of all kinds, tomatoes, and a few herbs in a simple indoor DWC hydroponic setup with 3 45w LED slim panels.     I'm looking to bounce ideas about fine-tuning my...
