So I wanted to share my first hydroponic pepper grow so far. Started December 1st and now we are two months in. I have a home made indoor system that is half NFT half DWC. I also have a plant that I grew in a coffey can under T5 lighting.
I was so unorganized in the beginning and it was a rough start. But I think Im getting that hang of it. I am growing both peppers and tomatoes in the same system which became a challenge. Even worse I have no idea what plants are what because during seedling stages my tray was knocked over mixing everything up. The pepper plants are either Carolina Reaper, Chocolate Scotch Bonnet, or White Habanero. The tomatoes could be anything. I have 10 different exotic kinds and not a clue to what is what.
Dec 19 2014 a few weeks after sprouting they were put into the NFT system
In the beginning I had both pepper and tomatoes in the NFT system
Coffey can pepper plant was started but ran a few weeks behind the others.
Roots coming along nicely
December 31 2014 after a struggle with balancing PH and getting it down the plants begin to veg nicely.
Roots are booming
Coffey can plant doing ok. I think I straved it a little in the beginning.
NOT LETTING ME POST ANYMORE. NOT SURE IF I NEED A BUMP OR WHAT.
Just kidding I figured it out......
January 7 2015 had to move some plants around because the roots of the tomatoes were getting very long. The tomatoes had almost no growth on top but the roots were longer than shoe strings
Tomato roots are getting long
