hydroponic What should I try? Opinions welcome, even bad ones

Hi all - So, we're getting settled after the overseas move, and the house we'll move into in three weeks has a great spot for a small indoor, overwinter growing space.

I have lights and equipment sufficient to grow one 5-gallon Kratky bucket and 3 very small Khang Starr-style mini-Kratky plants. It is wild to me how much easier and more cost-effective some of this stuff is here in the US than it was in southern Spain. (I suppose if I'm losing a year-round growing season, at least there's some benefit for the wallet.)

I think I know what I want to grow in the mini-Kratky cups, but what would you choose for a single, larger Kratky grow over the cold PA winter?

Scotch Bonnet it is

For the small Kratky bottles, I'm thinking Peruvian White Habaneros, Er Jing Tao, and Sugar Rush Peach Stripey.

can't go wrong with a Scotch Bonnet. For indoor year round my staples are Scotch Brains, Chocolate Ghost, and a good ole Bhut Jolokia. My theory for my indoor peepers is to grow all-around peppers with good heat and flavor that i can eat with whatever meal.

You're gonna get quite a big plant with a 5 gallon hydro so I would suggest you grow what you want to eat the most of!

Good advice, @Siv - I've been really enjoying a scotch bonnet sauce I picked up recently, so I'm hopeful I'll enjoy growing it this time around. My MOA seeds in Spain kept failing to germinate, so a little bit of this is trying to get it to finally work for me.
