Looking very good spongey! How u like hydro compared to soil?
well i will really have to wait till the weather warms up, they definatly grow faster in Hydro. the douglah and brain strain are the same age! they were planted in the DWC in Aug as a week old seedlings. but now that its cooler the growth has slowed. as i live on the 2nd floor its easier to change the nutes on the DWC that watering the soil plants i have a 5 gallon bucket i put my pots in so the runoff does not run off the edge to my neighbors below.
 
They all look real happy!!
How much direct sun light do they receive during the day?

they get sun from about 11-12 till sunset( we have a west south west facing balcony
haha I like the vitamin C sticker on the Devils tongue red. Is that where my seeds came from? How much Vit C does a pepper have?

yes, that is the mother plant! and there was an orange tree in that pot at one time! so not really sure of the Vit C content.
 
Thanks guys, here is a pic of how bad off that Choc Bhutan I posted above was back on 8/14/11

It spent a month in dwc them back in soil
 
well here is an update pics taken about 20 min ago. they are slowly growing as i dont have an indoor grow set up so they have to deal with mid 40's at night and mid60-mid 70's and been getting sun from 10am-sunset
DWC brain strain is putting out flowers
IMG_3084.jpg

DWC douglah its not very tall but it is bushy! i think once it warms up it will take off
IMG_3083.jpg

choc bhut, lots of buds coming in
IMG_3082.jpg

Brain strain root bound in a little pot need to pot it up soon
IMG_3081.jpg

mystery pepper, thinking of cutting it back but it has 30+ little ball pods on it thinking the cooler weather is the cause of smaller pods

Looking good. One of these days I will have to do a DWC plant

if you look at both brain strains i am growing and the douglah all sprouted at the same time and were put into the current homes back in August crazy to see just how much bigger the DWC is but it was expected. we will see once i pot it up if it grows out some more
 
WOO-HOO, hope i am not jinxing it or jumping the gun but the brain strain in the DWC i think has set its first 3 pods! i will wait a few more days to make sure they stick but if thy do hopefully its a sing of lots of pods to come! feels like a summer day! its mid 70's and sunny
