peppers done for the year (frozen out)... time to focus on the biz! <a href="https://mycostpro.com" rel='nofollow external' class="su_links">https://mycostpro.com</a>

Wait... can you explain that one?

  I thought that sounded interesting so I went to their website and checked the FloraSeries MSDS labels... Phosphoric acid, ammonium salt Ammonium nitrate Nitric acid, ammonium calcium salt...   Do they have a different line that is organic?  Maybe I went to the wrong product...   UPDATE! I...

  $116 combined cost worth of masterblend, calcium nitrate, and magnesium sulfate will make 9,449 gallons of nutrient solution... so... masterblend wins  :)

Valid point about the space juanitos, I like using the buckets because I can swap to a single cup lid and keep growing the plant for as long as I want with no overcrowding or stunting.  But to start many seeds out quickly, you could even just use the cups and put them in a shallow dish of...

Oh, lol.  Just because its an earlier season crop, and I could get the video out there without waiting another month... I posted it here because the system is excellent for starting out HOT PEPPER :dance:  PLANTS with large healthy roots.

Hey thanks for the feedback on the project :) Let me elaborate a bit on why they are in the buckets:   Initially, putting this exact same solo cup full of mix and seeds could just be placed in a shallow dish and do the exact same thing.  Where this bucket comes in, is that it allows for room for...

Hey guys, hope everyone is excited about the new season!   Check out my new video for seed starting system; this is great to start seeds for a hydro grow box style system, for direct planting in the garden, or for a kratky style grow (if you want to set it up with a trellis or cage for support)...

Good idea playing it safe with a few plants first... dont let the others get too far behind on hardening though or it may backfire!

Im thinking of putting up a live stream of paint drying... in the mean-time you can pass the time by staring at the blank tope-colored area under this text.                                               ... :)

My 2 cents:  I dont think nurseries start their seeds indoors under artificial lights, so the hardening process isnt really an issue (they are born straight into the harsh reality of nature).  I could be wrong, this is just an assumption. As far as the plastic, it may not be enough depending on...

  Fill the bucket all the way to the top.  I recommend covering the top with plastic (with a slit cut out for the plant to poke through), so will want to mound the soil even higher than the top of the bucket (when the plastic covers it, it causes rain water to run off of it, not into the...

The seedlings are looking good!  Nice roots, nice leaves.  I think you're doing fine, but I'll try to answer a few of your questions from my opinion/experience:   I'd like to know what you think of my growbox and plants so far. Pretty neat.  With the growbox just be aware of the temprature, it...

Maybe in one of the smaller models (?) but not in the normal aerogardens. The solution circulates by pump up to the top and drips down the roots, creating aeration from the water circulation and increased surface area exposure to the atmosphere.  The same way a sufficiently flowing fish tank...

I feed with nutrients with 100% of waterings... which is every day in the peak heat of summer...   I can say that they do thrive in the reservoir, unfortunately I dont have any pictures to show as an example right now though.

Well... i dont know what to say... that concentration has never caused problems for me  (indoors or outdoors)...   :(

What concentration did you use?

  Hey awesome!  The bucket design will make slightly smaller plants, but the footprint and amount of soil are much smaller relatively;  If you want a large variety of plants (with excellent production) I highly recommend the bucket design, if you want absolute maximum plant size and production...

If you are using hydroponic nutrients you will want to cover the top with a plastic sheet to prevent rain water.  It is not required though, the pepper plant in the video was not covered. I think for support you could build in support poles along the sides and zip tie them in place (similar to...

  Actually this is desirable!  Roots are fine directly in water (or directly in hydroponic nutrient solution) as long as a sufficient portion of the roots are outside of the water and have access to oxygen.   This was "discovered" (or at least popularized) by Dr. Bernard Kratky at the University...
