that's going to be a lot of peppers

If you guys were starting all this from scratch, what air stone and air pump would you buy? I read a couple pages ago that most of these systems don't result in sufficient dissolved oxygen. Does that mean I need a beastly air pump?

I doubt many people have used it. I haven't. But it looks like it could be good.

The link doesn't tell me my ppm. The website for my utility says about 300 ppm. It's not great for my plants but not much to be done about it. I'm not buying a $200 filter for peppers.

Are you adding extra peat moss to your promix for some reason? If you are not, then don't add lime.

your plants look really good - nice job

dont add lime unless youre adding more peat

did this solve your thrip problems?

what mx5inpa said

yes longer is fine

If you had a very long season, which would eventually yield more peppers: two plants each in 5 gallon pots, or one plant in a 10 gallon pot? I know more soil helps a plant, but presumably this tradeoff stops at a certain point. You'd definitely get more pods from 10 plants each in 5 gallon pots...

This made me laugh. The lengths we go to.

Truevalue.com has a $10 off $100 coupon code if you order online and have it shipped to the store. That means my big 3.8 CF bales of promix were about $39 each. That's a lot less than the in-store price. Made it easy to decide against making my own this year. They also have the big bags of...

I agree with turbo that I wouldn't plant them very deep. Plants do best when some of the roots are near the surface. If you bury the existing roots deep, they might not get as much oxygen. But healthy peppers will *eventually* grow roots along the previously exposed stem. Otherwise taking...

If all 9 of your plants are that healthy with just a single 100w hps, that's crazy! are they in a tent?

I don't know about all that. I've gotten the best results I've ever had with my most recent set of plants, where I did use fabric pots. But I changed so much I can't attribute it to anything in particular.

I add zero cups of granite dust to my mix too : )

Yes they can be trickier in that regard. I use blumats so I don't have to worry about that particular problem (just other, more serious problems, like runaway cones - which thankfully I've never experienced).

Nice work! What's the stuff in the back on the right on the ground?

Interesting approach - I hope it works for you. For what it's worth, I do use and prefer fabric pots in my all-indoor grow. Just curious - what makes you say they wouldn't work indoors?
