That's....a really good thing to know!

  Okay...I'll bite.  How come?

If only I had the room ;). Hard enough starting them early when they're still in solo cups.

I'll definitely keep that in mind. My first build is going to be like the one Khang Starr posted in one of his videos - oddly enough what I had in mind to begin with. I'll try sticking with the CNS17 and we'll see how that goes. Then again, experimenting is half the fun. Wish I had a longer...

I'll keep the flush idea in mind!

*snorts coffee*. "Out the pee hole" lol. I think I'll try the top watering until the roots get long enough. I also think I probably won't nail the two buckets together. That way once a week I can dump and rinse the bottom bucket, top feed pH adjusted water, dump that the next day and refill...

Yeah, you were one of several that steered me towards CNS17. I'd been using GH....Floranova? I think? The two parter, in DWC buckets with decent results, but the Kratky and soil plants didn't like it at all this year. The CNS17 was cheaper, and everything took right off, so thanks for the...

I was afraid you were going to say that. I've had great success bottom watering with the CNS17 in promix with smaller containers, but figured it wasn't going to scale up to to 5 gallons. I'm half tempted to pick two identical plants and do one with SIP and one in a regular bucket with drain...

Hey all,   I'm thinking about moving all my soil living plants into 5 gallon self watering buckets.  They currently live in Promix and are bottom fed alternately CNS17 nutes or pH adjusted water every other day.  I'm concerned that if I move the same setup into a SWB, the pH is going to get...

Interesting....I didn't think of that because the rest of the peppers on each plant seem fine.

Glad to hear they're making a comeback. Colony Collapse is concerning the heck out of me. Seen mud wasps and yellow jackets this year, and a ton of paper wasps. If love to raise a hive of honey bees, but I think the reason I don't see any is because the wasps eat them *shrugs*.

I've noticed a rotted spot on a couple of my Cayenne peppers, one on each plant. One is in promix, other is in Kratky. Both seem to get plenty of calcium (Switched to CNS 17 after advice from users on the forum), and there are other pods on the plant that all look fine. I really have losing that...

Yeah, I've been dealing with the wasps for forever. I'm not allergic at all, so they're welcome (although I've noted a pointed absence of honey bees over the years), but we occasionally get yellow jackets, and those guys are assholes with wings.

  Nice!  The more bug-eaters, the happier I become!

  That's a relief.  I had no idea what the green guy was, but the wasps I haven't been able to get rid of over the last thirty years.  I gave up when I realized they were pollinating and protecting my plants.  There's actually a unused balcony directly above the plants that they've been putting...

Thanks for the info.

Ran across this little fella and wondered what he was doing on my plants, or what he is. I knew what the second one does - he was none too impressed with me when I shook the branch to pollinate it before I realized he was there.

Morning y'all. Finally got some ripe pods of my Peach Scotch Bonnet plants. The top one is what I think of when I say Bonnet. The bottom two are off another plant, and they're anyone's guess. So, Anyone, what's your guess?

Some nice lookin' plants there, Bhuter.  Wish mine would get that big!

Those hobo spiders are buggers..
