So that's what you use. I'm transferring my seedlings out of the rockwool soon, so this is incredibly helpful. Thank you.

I have seeds from some fairly mild plants but I dunno if you want those.

I planted five of my new pepper seeds expecting a high germination rate, and ten of my really old ones expecting a lower rate. Guess which one came up more?

Pics if you want help.

Jaltomata procumbens cuttings are done.

Vacuum cleaners work on spider mites as long as you keep the leaves from tearing. Unfortunately my test subject was made of knives and now my hands hurt.

Welcome to THP!   Although of all the places in the US, why did you pick New Haven?

What's the minimum temperature peppers can take?

Solanum quitoense and Solanum pyracanthum just flat out stopped doing much. Pyracanthum has been growing smaller, notably less prickly leaves for the last month before it stopped. They don't seem to be starved of water or nutrients, but I figure I should ask you guys before I change anything...

Yeah, it was definitely a too much water issue and not a fertilizer one. Pictured: Fucked roots. Plant almost completely wilted but it's a pepper so it might recover. Roots cut until no more black was visible, then dunked in peroxide, then rinsed thoroughly.   

The sulfur was put on this plant only to deter spider mites from walking. It was added after it started wilting though and none got in the reservoir.

Nope. This one is handmade for larger plants. The bok choy it's growing might clog the pipes, but this particular pepper has the roots in the same chamber as the fog generator so it can't physically clog it.

It looks like when I set the timer high water condensed on the roots and got rid of most of the ultra fine root hairs. This probably caused the plant to not get enough water until it grows everything back. I'll update in a week or so.     I missed the question when you posted it. I'm winging it...

I seem to have found it. Most of the roots are brown as opposed to their healthy white color. It is growing white roots again and it hasn't shed any peppers, so the plant seems to think it can survive at any rate. The other pepper in with it is doing fine.

Temp has been fairly constant, roots are in water but this has also been constant for several months without incident. I did water it with 2.5 gallons colder water rather than 1 though, so that might have been it.

Yes. It's been down for three days and condition is still worse.

Aeroponics pepper that I solved the problem on was doing well and full of peppers, then I adjusted the timer to more mist and it started wilting a few days later. I don't think the roots are rotten since most of them are still white to light brown so I'm not sure. Any chance of recovery, or...

Happy birthday.

Starting research work at CCSU on J. procumbens tomorrow. These things have great flowers so I'll have to grow my own if I get the opportunity.
