Waterfarm Hydroponics Update Pictures
New pics from 6/12/2008
I can't believe the growth after the roots busted out of the rockwool. I upped the nutes to 500 ppm and the leaves seem a little darker green and the growth seems to have improved. What is the highest ppm people run for pepper...
The foil is a temporary barrier (nothing else) to prevent the nutrient solution from splashing on the leaves. I think that is part of the reason why the habs are growing slower than the jalapeno. The nutes burned parts of the leaves, slowing growth. A permanent barrier of coco fiber mat will...

Same way with me. Whatever you want to do behind closed doors or closets is up to you. I love my peppers though. I hate it when people think the worst when you grow ponics.

I'll post some pics later on. I have been lurking for awhile and soaking up knowledge everywhere I can find it, including "cash crop" websites. The only real differences are peppers aren't photosensitive and don't need as much nutrient. I am still in the seedling stage and running around 400...
