Last year was fun, I had finally gotten the hang of indoor growing! They got massive, then I got orders to leave. I believe it was 110+ pods on the four hydro plants alone. Only a few for ripe then I packed everything and left haha sucked

I feel your pain brother!! Nothing worse than all that hard work to leave it behind!! I'm going crazy my plants are loaded with peppers and cold weather for our area is coming hope I can get them harvested before it's too late!! There like my plant children!!

One of my best friends was stationed in Germany he was 101 and 82 airborne division. He was stationed at the wall back then used to freeze his ass off!! Hahaha

Love your hydro grow! Will definitely follow this log It's incredible! I am just getting my feet wet in dwc hydro (and growing peppers altogether) are you using the 3 stage flora trio? And have you added any calMag along the way? Also are you using your hps throughout your entire grow? And just supplementing with floresents?

Kyle Reese Contreras · Nov 18, 2015

Hey buddy, sorry about that. This was last years glog, it just got commented ad brought back to the top of the list! Haha
I did not use any Calmag but in hindsight I could have saved money on micros by doing so haha I wasn't sure how bad I needed it in hydro at the time and I ended up sawing screw it and not buying if after I realized it was going to take a lot of micros to make up!
I was using General Hydro 3 part and it was definitely enough for all I needed. Like I said though, you don't need Calmag, but if you decide not to buy it... Boost your micros by at least 3x

And yeah, strictly HPS and CFL

it worked wonders!
I actually stopped updating, let me see if I can find a photo of later that season, also, if you want to follow, I have a new glog started for this year already up

Bad ass! BEAUTIFUL plants. I'll follow your new log forsure. I got floro 6500k bulbs but want to switch over to hps/mh. The kit I am looking at online comes with a mh at 6500k. What's the spectrum on your hps your using? And are you using the cfl for the light spectrum or simply just more light?

I'm not actually sure on the spectrum, but the CFL were just to get more light on leaf coverage
