nutrients Ghost peppers nutes and fruits

[Devonian92]

Good day everyone
I was wondering about Ghost pepper nutes i use GH flora series and a side of Cal mag pluse
My question is why my pepper plant is hardly producing and not in big quantities and sometimes if it does fruit you will find few big and ok sized pods and the rest tiny pods while the plant is about 24 tall and planted in aerogarden the ones with 45 watt led lights.
Have a great day ans appreciate your help

You need way more light, that the 45w led lights can ever produce. Can you put the chili next to a window or something.

I thought so too but the plant have had 10 pods at a time and all was fine.

Post a picture of the chili here, so we can take a look at it.

Lack of light is my bet when i look at that picture. Try putting the chili next to a window and dont need that led light either, if it gets some nice sunlight most of the day.

Looks like aerogarden lights are not so fancy i have a 1000w full spec grow light for another 6 pepper plants and they look great even though they are young
thanks for your replay and constant attention

That is a huge plant in that small areogarden.
 
More light and bigger root area or transplant into soil.
 
not sure you can trans that without seriously damaging it or the areogarden cover.

Im thinking of ditching the aerogarden it cant handle the plant anymore and its crazy growth and go with a bigger system homemade with more light power and root area. Any suggestion for grow light ?

The real question is how much are you willing to spent to buy the light as the newer led growing lights are pretty good now, but they are not too cheap.

I have bought a 1000w light before for like 200ish usd and i dont have any problem with that.

Perhaps you would not have any problems with this kind of newer Cree cob led growing light either:
https://www.amazon.com/CF-Grow-Dimmable-CXB3590-Spectrum/dp/B06XKW7M92/
 
It is equivalent to a 400w hps, that would make it very good for your ghost pepper to produce some nice harvest.

Looks great but would it do the tricks and its looks a bit messy setup wise compared to just plug and start. Also appreciate you help.

Could not be any easier as it is pretty much plug and play one. Install it and plug the cord in place, there nothing hard about that.
 
Look here, i just got a similar kind of one just today:

I have used much weaker led growing lights before to produce some harvest with those habanero type of chilis, this one is so much newer and better compared to my old led growing lights.

Yea all of those look great upon a closer look its a must buy ill plan for those till later.
Thanks a lot for the help all of you here its hard to find help with these topics around me i guess im gana stick around and show you all my future pepper projects.

My advise is not be fooled by the cheaper led growing lights that may look similar to those more expensive ones, they are not nearly as good and may give you subpar results.

I used to have two 600W set-ups....one burned out and i replaced it with a 1000W. so now i have one of each.
 
I use the 600 for growing, the 1000 for fruiting as needed only because I have the 1000.
 
I wish I could have gotten another 600 but they no longer made it and I couldn't get the same brand so I jumped on the 1000
 
To be honest, the saying MORE power is always attractive but in reality the cost and actual light the plants can use is better off with the 600W 
 
I have no info on LED's.  I'm happy with my set-up and been using it over 6 yrs now.

Grow tents are... IMO... a must in indoor environment.
 
You can create a micro-climate and control it perfectly at low running cost. Concentrate all the light in one space. Try that with a big open space i.e. garage.
 

 

 
 
Cost of building a fully automatic 2x4x5 tent (light, temperature, humidity, watering and h2o2 injection controlled) DTW setup like this is less than 500$ Only thing to do is refill and re-balance the reservoir every 7-10 days.
 
Running cost would be light and nutes only. Tent is self-heated by lights.
 
-10.25$ in electricity per month if running 16 hrs a day
-15$ worth of GH FloraNova Bloom per year.... 5 ml of nutes per week which is around half-quart bottle of nutes per year.
