Hi friends, I'm looking for people's opinions of outdoor hydro setups. I've never done any hydro growing, but would like to get into it this year. I'm looking for simplicity. The Krakty method seems cool and easy - does anyone have any experience with that method? What size containers would be...

So I've got another issue coming up on some baccatum babes that were overwintered. These fellas have survived an incredible aphid infestation, and I'd hate to see them go down to this. Anyone recognize this?    It's cropped up in the past 2 days. Should I cut out all the effected area?     ...

Anyone recognize this issue? Looks like all the new growth is really struggling... Fungal? Didn't notice any insects; looked pretty closely.      I was gone for 4 days, fertilized everyone before I left. All the other peps look fine though, so I don't think I've burned this one.      Y'all...

What does it mean when the tips of leaves curl like this? I'm guessing too much light / Not enough water?      I recently dealt with a major aphid issue. I realized that immediate total war (and relocation of mature plants) was the only way to save the seedlings. After moving the big boys, I...

Look good to me. Maybe tie some more up higher (I'm looking at the two fat nodes); you'd get better leverage on the weight of the branch if there was a higher point of contact. Recall moment-arms!    As an aside, some plants do well when a split like this happens (not peppers lol). Hedges used...

and it will really help. Have you given the seedlings any fertilizer?  It's too early for really "any" nutes at this point, whether in the soil or with your water.   Good luck man!           Also, got another quick question about cotyledon. Before I up-potted the rockwool into soil...

  I've got an adjustable intensity LED light, so I just turned it up to ~80% from ~20%. Do you have any experience seeing the line of too much / not enough light? I'd imagine they'de be toppling over with too much light as well, wouldn't they? 

 

So I've just learned an important lesson on the heat pad; you're supposed to take them off the heat once they've sprouted.     These seem very leggy and likely to fall over. I've just transplanted from rockwool into small degradable pots with some good draining soil in them. I tried to bury the...

  I thought crisping the plant would only be an issue with HID bulbs. I've got 5W LEDs; can these still damage foliage if positioned too close? I'd think metal halides / sodium vapor would roast them, not LEDs. Is this thought incorrect? These LEDs put off negligible heat.    So for the Hab...

So I've set up a basic grow area to [hopefully] keep my peps going through winter.      I've got a few Aji Limons, a Chocolate Habanero, Fish Pepper, and a haba'nada! I recently pruned the Aji Limons fairly heavily. I've got a specific question about energy allocation. Aji Limon (baccatum) has...

Hello everyone! I've been a'lurking this forum for quite some time now... I LOVE this corner of the internet. This is my first post, and I'll have a few other questions coming soon!    I've been experimenting a bit with LST on a Chocolate Habanero.      As you can hopefully see (not sure of...

I've been a'lurkin for quite some time now. Finally ready to dive into this community. Looking forward to talking with everyone in the days/years to come!
