Thank you for all your answers!   If I go DWC I think I will most likely go the DIY route. Just get some 20l buckets (5 gal) with lid, some net pots, clay pellets and an aquarium pump; or do I have to use something else instead of the net pots?   And one other question... if I go DWC, is it...

  Yes. I think this is the most likely reason for their behaviour.   I have given a few weeks ago pepper plants to friends/family and all of them are showing more or less the same behaviour. All after the weather suddenly changed

I sprayed all the plants with that spidermite control solution, using a pretty high water pressure - so to also wash the leaves of any critters/dirt at the same time.   Will see how it goes for the next few days. If the spider mites are gone will the leaves get back to normal, or only the new...

I got some SMC (spider mite control). I know it's oil based - can I mix it with water (that's what it says on the bottle) and use it in a plastic spray bottle with a pump? The maker of the spray bottle tells me not to use any oils in it...   Thanks!

I prefered NFT because it had no medium for me to worry about. For the others I have to get some Clay Pellets with the hydroponic setup/kit.   Never really did understand the DWC. How high does the water have to be in the reservoir? Do you have to move the plant to a bigger/deeper reservoir when...

Hi,   Was thinking of getting my feet wet on doing a hydro grow. What would be the best type for growing peppers - nft, dwc, flood & drain or drip?   I will buy a whole kit rather than try to make one myself. I am leaning towards NFT - something like a grotank from Nutriculture for 3-5 plants...

I find it unlikely the issue is spider mites, because there are no webs and the weather was really cold lately... I will buy some "spidermite control" monday, just to be sure. Is it any good?   I also noticed that the tip of the very young leaves (just the one on top, not the new growth from the...

  Usually once a week, with the nutrients. I did water them more often when they were in the smaller air-pots because with the 90-95F sunny weather they did dry up pretty quickly.   I will have to get a magnifying glass first.   If there is a mite/aphid problem, what would be the best solution...

Hi   This is my first post here on forum, but I have been reading/learning a lot in the last few months.    I hava a small issue with my peppers so I need some assistance from the more experienced growers here.    After 3 weeks of really hot weather (over 90F), in the last couple of weeks we had...
