chlorinated water = good? That is your attempt at wit? I love it :)

Potawie I'm sorry for getting off topic. The health of your peppers is my main concern. I'll send them positive vibes...

Convince? Chlorine is beneficial because it is a poison. Including it in your water is keeping you safe. Chlorine in public water supply is safe and valuable. Introducing chlorine into your plants is wrong. Because you have noticed nothing, does that prove your pro-chlorine ways? Or prove...

chlorinated water Well, I have beat my kids for years and they grew up just fine. Is that your argument? Pour poison on your plants, they will still grow. So poison is good?

:) Group delet3d.

My point exactly... http://cgi.ebay.com/TDS-METER-HM-Digital-TDS3-PPM-Tester_W0QQitemZ170226957481QQihZ007QQcategoryZ26230QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Serch Ebay for PPM meters. You will find many sold for cheap.

tap water 'The water filter thing???' You have to be making a joke. What do plants need? Water and Photons. Your dismissal reeks of poor science. Poor growing ability. Poor understanding of your plants. Why filter tap water when it raised your 19 children just fine? Ha!

I started a Yahoo Group for this package. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/2008SeedExchange/ AJ contact me if you want to be moderator. I would prefer you to host the group, since you started the trade idea.

Lettuce I agree. I eat fresh salad daily from my garden. Such a kick to eat something that is still alive. :)

PPM meter PPM is your measure of how many nutrients are available to your roots. Very important. Barbie? do you talk to dolls? :) Seriously, get a cheap PPM meter and you can tell how fast your plants are using the nutrients. That is the best way to tell if they need the food or not.

Filters Try a hose filter, you will notice a big difference. http://www.pwgazette.com/gardenhosefilters.htm

unfiltered tap water??? You grow hydroponically and use unfiltered tap water??? That's like building a race car and using discount tires from costco.

chlorine The chlorine and/or chloramine evaporates over time. Easier is using a carbon filter. They are very cheap and make a world of difference.

what I need My specialty. Tap water is safer than bottled, but needs to be filtered for happiness. A hose filter is easy, cheap, and once installed will provide your plants with pure goodness. Good luck :)

Looks like you flooded the soil and let it dry when they were started. This compacted the soil. The peppers are using most of their energy to grow roots instead of make peppers like you want. They look strong and healthy, but you were not planning on waiting three years for a mighty plant. Dig...

If there is no light getting to the water, algae should be no problem. By the way, what are you using for lighting? Don't buy an expensive meter or clean the pots every two weeks. Grow the first cycle and see what you get. Remember, everything in the water goes into your body. Don't add...

What to do? Grow indoors, silly :)

I hate to see peppers in pain. Have you tried using a filter on your water? http://www.pwgazette.com/gardenhosefilters.htm I had a huge outdoor garden once and the plants loved it. There was a noticeable difference in growth and health between filtered and tap water.

Nice pepper Pics. http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg216/Q8q8q8q8/IMG_06571.jpg Are you aware that publicly displaying pictures of Drivers licenses and Social Security cards on your Photobucket account is not a good idea? Phyllis and James Hale...

Organic Back from Vacation :) I'm offering seeds grown organic from my own pods. I only grow one type at a time with a HEPA filter intake fan. That being said... I am not selling for profit, only trying to spread the best seeds I can. I grow the cleanest way possible. Seed dispersal is my...
