fertilizer-nutrients Greetings fellow

Greetings fellow hot heads. I've decided to do some NFT chilli's this year. Got some reapers in coco pods about to pop. I used to grow some other stuff 🤨 so I'm asuming it's just some nutes I need. Should be able to figure the rest out myself.

Google isn't very helpful though. Couldnt find anything useful on the best hydro nutes for chilli plants. 🤷
Could somebody point me in the right direction please.
I understand how nutes work, ec/ph and all that jazz. Just can't figure out which ones I'm meant to give them?
Any advice troops? TIA. 🤙✌️
 
Should be plenty of information in the forum, just do a search for nutrients or NPK.
I keep forgetting the best NPK ratio, so I won't even guess.

I'm doing a very small kratky hydro grow this year and it's my first time growing in hydro but seem to be doing pretty ok.
I use Terra Aquatica Micro, Grow & Bloom and follow the dosage on the bottles. It could probably be a little bit better but it's working. I also add some Cal+Mag since it's usually left out of the other nutrients and chilis like the Cal+Mag.
Oh, and pH is a thing when growing in hydro, which I'm sure you know if you've done it before. I think the span is between 5.5 and 6.9 for chilis, but I could remember wrong. My mix is at 6.7, which seems to work okay.

You could also look at Khang Starrs hydro videos on Youtube, they will give you some basic info about nutrients, NPK and pH and so on.

I'm gonna do a few hydro methods mate. Some in coco, some in coco with 3 inches of perilite worth of reservoir at the bottom and an air stone. (that's kinda similar to kratky right?)
And some in my trusted Gt205 nft tables.
I've been looking about and it sounds like I can just feed them 'canola' nutes so I'm just gonna treat them how I usually would and hope for the best.
(I wonder how they handle growth hormones? 🤨)

My coco seedlings are 3 or 4 weeks behind the soil ones and just over took them. I'm taking that as a sign that I'm just not destined to be a soil grower and sticking to what i know lol.

I've had a hunt about mate. It sounds like I can get away with using hydro 'canoly' nutes. I know what I'm doing with those so I should be alright.
It's gonna be a wee hydro extravaganza haha. Indoors and out. 😁

I’ve had the same question about nutrient levels and hydro. I’m doing peppers in 5 gallon buckets, DWC ( Deep Water Culture). I ended up using chat gpt to get my numbers. 7 Pot Douglah, Scotch Bonnets, Anaheim, and Serrano. Went EC 2.1 to 2.2 - PH is 6. I flushed the buckets yesterday so we’ll see. They’re starting to flower and I was getting some leaf curl so I changed water.
How are your pepper doing?
