Hey guys!
This is my first post so go easy on me. I've been growing hot peppers for about 5 months now and I've just started my first dwc system. As I don't have any gear to check the ec and ph, I went easy on the nutes. Problem is, the leaves on the plant are curling under on my Giant Jalapeno. The growth rate is awesome compared to the plants in soil, but the plant feels soft and weak. I'm keeping the water level about 3 inches below the net pot but the aliflor is constantly wet due to the water splashing. Could I be drenching the plant which is planted in a root riot cube? So far, only 1 root has reached the water below but more are coming. Also, the temp is about 21-25C.
I'm attaching a photo for you guys.
Thanks!
