Hey Scott! Things are lookin good sir! Your starting to fill up that pod pool you were hoping to swim in lol. Pods look great man! That habanada is awesome. Nice buy on the water tank! In regards to the bad spots on your latest pics, I'm not an expert but sunscald maybe? Jealous of your poddage!  :party:

thanks! im considering a transfer pump or some other way for water distribution. the free well water should be better than the city water.
 
 
they're starting to come in on most plants now.
 
 
ill have to look into sunscald.  I was thinking it might be some deficiency in the soil.
 
 
I need to get a picture of the one tekne dolmasi plant that's huge compared to all the other plants.  its bigger than the tomato's right now.
 
scored these manzano at the local flea market. excited to try them and save the seeds to try and grow them.

Filled in under an hour with well water. That should really cut down the water bill this summer.

May I make a suggestion?  Check before (filling) and after pH.  When I had my community garden plots, I'd transport water from our well to a tank I kept on the plots.  Every time....I mean EVERY time I checked the pH of the water in the tank after it had set for a couple of days, the pH had jumped like crazy.  It would come out of the tap at 6.8 and within two or three days would be reading 8.5.
 
We have a ton of iron in our water, which may explain some of it, but I checked some water I'd drawn about two weeks ago for the hydroponics plants, and it was heading toward 8.5 without sitting out in the sun.

PIcked these great looking peppers. They look awesome!

And these ungrateful ones. Can anyone tell me what Ive done wrong?
If it's not sun scald, my next guess would be BER (Blossom End Rot,
usually caused by Calcium deficiency ), I think. My last guess might be 
too much water.

That is a great idea. How long do you think it would
last with one filling. You have a lot of plants.
 
All-in-all, looking really good, Scott.
The rows of pepper plants look great!

you might be onto something, maybe a combo sunscald/ blossom end rot.  ill use some fertilizer to try and help them out.
 
 
im not sure how long it'll last between fill ups, still working out how to distribute it. lol  maybe just a transfer pump and manually water as usual.
 
my guess without using it yet would be about two weeks with no rain.
