An update: looks like the nitrogen shot I gave the plants last week helped with new growth! Thanks for helping

Thanks everyone. I will give the plants MaxiGrow for a while. Compared to MaxiBloom, it is richier on nitrogen. Hope it helps.

I fill the reservoir with plain water. Ocasionally I top feed with maxibloom/calmag.

Very ocasionally I give them CalMag and MaxiBloom

Hi everyone.   It's been almost a year since I planted these 2 ghost pepper plants. One of them only started producing fruit recently. The other ones gave like 8 pods a few months ago and is producing more at the moment too.   My concerns: 1) both plants seem to have a very slow growing pace and...

  Wow, General Hydroponics liquid pH down is exactly what I'm using :( The nutes I'm using are Canna's Aqua Vega A and B parts.

  I'll take more shots later without the HID lighting.

The picture is too poor in terms of what? Quality? I believe the brown spots I referred are quite noticeable.

I'm getting worried with the appearance of my seedling. Look at these brown spots, on the new leaves: https://b.joaoubaldo.com/wp-content/uploads/img_583c8b041cdc9.png   What do you guys think?

Thanks for the help guys!

Wow. You didn't have pH fluctuations in the reservoir?

I've been trying to stabilize clay pebbles, that I pretend to use in a DWC setup and Autopots, for quite some time now and it's giving me A LOT of unexpected work. Let me explain why.   I picked 2 batches of clay pebbles and I'm trying to stabilize them like this:   1st batch - I rinsed them A...

  Jeshwa, if I fill the DWC net pot with clay balls (to prevent light from reaching the reservoir too), the seedling's roots stay far from the water. How are you doing it? My net pot is quite big.

I'm using this 50-50 mix with additional nutes in order to move the seedling to a DWC system as soon as the roots are long enough. Not a good idea?      

I'm using a 50-50  mixture of perlite and vermuculite but started the seed in jiffy. 'm not overwatering the seedling but try to keep the mixture moist. I suspected of excess light and moved the seedling far from a 250W HPS (before it was ~30cm far from the lamp).
