Ok ive done hydroponics before with mixed succes so far. Hey you live you learn. I decided to start again this year. DWC indoors, and kratky out doors. I'm using the Masteblend 3 part. I germinated Blake Krim heirloom tomato and heirloom Bhut Jolokia and they are still seedlings. I'm running nutes at half strength Ph around 6.4 I watered in about a quarter of a cup a of cold brewed kelp tea per plant so the ph came up some. 2 tbls tea extract to 1 gallon water.
Next I have JalapeΓ±o, Habenero, and Serano. Those are Lowe's specials bonnie 3 for 12.
All transplanted into net cups and temporary dwc. I made a gallon of the kelp tea and washed the potting mixout as best I could. That kelp has some good stuff to help with transplant shock. All bought and transplanted within 36 hours.
I soaked root riot cubes in a 1/4 teaspoon of kelp tea (KT) in 16oz of water. I kept them about 75Β° under blurple lights now a sunny window with a par 38 over it.
