Peter S - 2017 grow

Here's my grow so far for this year. I started these early January. The large peppers in the basement are over winters. I'm trying to get my grow down, to around half (or a little more) than last year. I'm hoping this will be more manageable and less wasted peppers :) My grow methods this year will be Kratky (fill and forget and static nutrient level systems), self watering containers (diy earthboxes), and grow bags with potting mix on drip system fed with Master Blend. Also will continue to run some indoor hydro using DWC and sprayaponic methods. All my peppers will be fed with mix of MasterBlend, Magnesium Sulfate and Calcium Nitrate.
 
Here're my overwinters, hard to distinguish from this angle, but the back left is Jamaican Hot Chocolate, back right is Yellow Chiltepin, front left is Thai Dragon and right is Tien Tsin.

Peppers in AeroGarden Bounty. Back center is D3's Aji Painapple f2, front right is Yellow Dystopia, back left is Sugar Rush Peach and in front of that a 7-Pot Primo. Of all my AeroGarden peppers, the Painapple will stay in the bounty, and everything else will be transplanted to something else.

Hey, buddy, yu are going to have a full-sized grow
by the time plant-out comes!  Awesome to see some
nice pods, and your outdoor plants are money!

That painapple in the back looks great. Shouldn't be long before you have more pods than you know what to do with!

Thanks! Yeah, I hope so, going to try to get one of the clones out in real sunlight soon.
 
D3monic said:
 
how's the one that was developing pods, they putting on any size yet?

They kept falling off. Then I started screwing around with the nutrient levels and ratios and pruning a bunch. Then realized the pump had been clogged up. It's had some setbacks, but I think it will recover. I'm glad I have several clones to work with. I think they will produce fine when I put them outside in bigger systems. 
 
Superb update Peter, and you should be proud. Some of the healthiest established plants iv seen this year. You'd bossing it Peter and going to reap huge yields. Whole glog is killer buddy. Well done.

Loving all the green here, did you plant out this week and what's the giant plant with tin foil wrapped around the bucket?
Click to expand...
Probably will put out rest of plants next week, still trying to harden off. Got setback with a wave of cold and rain. Actually some of my porch plants might have gotten damaged from the cold last night. Wish I had brought then inside. The big foil wrapped bucket is my Helios Hab in a low-pressure aeroponic (aka sprayaponic or soakaponic) system I made. Here's a link to the playlist showing how I built it. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLx7XtYIVCogQDFR-aPhP2tPURBuPva7As Regarding the cold temps last night, that plant appears to have been unaffected. Some of the others have bad wilted leaves.
