Dutch bucket greenhouse project

Firstly I would like to introduce myself. My name is Tom and I live in the Netherlands. Last year I have grown several vegetables hydroponically.

This year I decided to grow some peppers in a dutch bucket setup. Not in an indoor grow room with sophisticated led lights, but just in a simple greenhouse.

The pictures below show how the system is built-up. I decided to use Perlite as medium, since it has remarkable drainage properties.

A few weeks later. I wrapped them with aluminium foil to keep the nutrient solution cool.

Thank you for all the positive comments. I appreciate it.
 
Does anyone know how I can edit the thread? I want to add some more information and photos.

Impressive growth. What is the time frame of those pictures?
 
I planted the seedlings somewhere at the end of April. At the beginning I was forced to heat the greenhouse at night. It is here in April sometimes quite cold at night.
