Hey,   Searching for some hydro growing info (most I've found was canna growers forums) I just stumbled upon this: http://cdn.intechopen.com/pdfs-wm/33765.pdf   It's a bit long, but very in-depth, covering a lot of stuff from nutrients, temperatures, ph and oxygen levels.   Sorry if this has...

Try building the green house and put a thermometer in it to see how the temps fluctuate (I'm thinking a chep type with "out" probe, that can also recall min/max).   If you get min. temps of under 10, I don't think you should bother. The plants will not grow (or grow really, really slow).    On...

  Get the cheaper one if they are rated as the same lumen output.

The chinense seem to benefit the most from the pruning/topping (FIM-ing, actually). The annums and pubescens not so much (I only have jalapeno for annum, but about 4 pubs)... they are growing side shots, but very slow and seem to be more keen on growing in height. Baccatums can't really tell...

  Bolivian Rainbow(s). They didn't get pruned as they are having massive side growth as they are...

I've put all my overwinters out in the last few days. They don't look too happy with the high winds I'm getting, but I think they will make it. They are getting pruned by the high winds as I type...leaves turning to green mush and branches getting cut clean off :(   Didn't get my younglings out...

Got some nice weather outside today, so I felt in a trimming mood... These are the results:     Even done the hydro reaper this time.     Hopefuly the weather will be nice in April, as I don't think they can last any longer in the small cups they are in now.   Cheers!

I had the same happen to some of my peppers, but never chinense (don't know why). Only annum, baccatum and pubescens.   Does any one know when it's too late to bury the stem deeper?  How "woody" can it get?

One weeks growth... Looking good.   Sometime the next week I think they will get pruned again. I wil be topping everything I didn't the first time because, as you can see, that's were the biggest new growth took place and they are starting to shade each other too much again. I want a bunch of...

done... now we'll see how it goes     Didn't cut the 4 bolivian rainbows and also kept one black scorpion's tongue which I have promised to someone...

Looks good... Now cut the top off for bigger yields :)

Hi   This year I'm trying my hand at a hydro grow (just to see how it goes). The "victim" is a hp22b in a dwc bucket.   My question for you guys wold be what temperature should I keep my reservoir at? More likely, what temperatures should I keep it within for optimal/acceptable growth? (I will...

Looking forward to seeing how your topping and stripping goes. I'm doing the same to mine this year, for lack of space - but will do it in a few days, so I will go by how you did it last season.   All the best!

Hi all   Hope everyone's season started well this year!   I have started a few varieties myself in mid january and they seem to be asking for a pot up really soon. The thing is I don't really want to do it for lack of space and not wanting to use more pot sizes.   A couple of days ago I stumbled...

I had something like this happen to some roccotos. I had more, so just got rid of the sad ones...

I'm thinking a 250W will run cooler than a 400W HPS... The space is not very small (it's an unused bathroom/toilet), but there isn't much ventilation. Night and day temps will be about the same, so that won't make any difference - there are no windows and the climate will be close to the hose...

  Why do you cut the roots?

  I don't want to grow plants indoors. I don't have the space for it... MAYBE I'll use it to keep some overwinters alive and kicking if the hydro doesn't succeed (although I don't really like keeping any plants indoors, even OW for the same reason stated above)   Thanks all for your answers...

  Nice looking plants!   What size are those airpots, 10l?

  The plants I'm talking about were started in some kind of peat pellets (as seeds), then moved to cups with cheap potting soil if I remember correctly. After they outgrew those I put them in these...
