@pfolvig Thanks! As soon as I get caught up and get a second wind, I have a volley of new video ideas to output. There will be more. Oh yes! There will be more! LOL
the dark green colour is from the anthocyanin buildup in the leaves because of the violets of ur lamp, natural suncreen just like we tan in the sun ;)
@nephildevil Interesting! Any idea why the branches were so compact and the plant didn't get a bit leggy? That was the issue I was having. I do know from later information that it was too cold where the plant was to let it perform. I appreciate the info!
@mediamaker2000 if the plants had plenty of light (the anthocyanins) they didnt need to 'stretch' themselves by growing toward the light? I don't know really, but sounds logical
@nephildevil But they didn't seem to have the room to grow fruit. The other side of the coin to that is that I think it was too cold grown fruit where they were, preservation perhaps?
I agree that rabbit manure is really a great source of nitrogen and phosphorus. In fact, it can be mixed with two thirds of a bucket of water, making it a great liquid fertilizer. I am just not sure if it can be used in hydroponics because that particular solution is intended for soil-grown plants.
@lovingmygarden I could not agree nor disagree. I would be an intersting experiment though but not so much that I go buy a wabbit from the pet store! LOL
Bucket and lid - $3, Grow light - $6, 8 1/2"reflector - $5, mylar - $2 - Cost of Bell pepper each after frost/snow in California and Mexico after frost/snow $2-3 each. Total cost of setup after 5 peppers - $15 - cost of 5 peppers? $1. Satisfaction? Priceless! Repeat again? Maybe $1. Satisfaction second set of peppers? 15 X priceless! LOL
I'm very interested in seeing the reults of the pepper in a mylar wonderland. That little booger is gonna grow like wilf fire. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! :)
@Praxxus55712 I have lots of flowers now on the hydro peppers but the plants look less than excited. My soil versions look much more happy and are not far from flowering. They grew fast, that's for sure, but I have a feeling the slower growing soil versions will be tastier! That's my story and I'm sticking to it! :)
use rabbit menure! it is so high in phosforus you will not believe, and they are high in nitrogen, and calcium! they are the number 1 thing to use for non-hydroponic plants. try it!
Thanks for the info. Keep it up and coming. :D

How much water is needed for the whole life of a plant? I've seen people do it in one gallon buckets? is it possilbe that way?

@UptownKush According to Ohio State university, it depends on what you are growing. Use a larger container if you are not sure.

Cost of 5 peppers first time around, $3. Cost next time, maybe a dollar.
