hey im growing peppers as well with a outdoor hydroponics dwc system and when my peppers bud and flower, right before the fruit forms, it falls off! do you know what i need or lack
some people seem to think plants seem to grow better with less nutrient problems in media based hydro systems like ebb and flow or rockwool dripper systems. it seems the aeroponic systems do have issues due to not having any growing media. some plants seem happier with less nutrient issues in a media based system. its worth experiemnting with both and seeing if the aero systems do present issues from not having any grow media. in nature plants roots always have something so its different
I love your Aero build. I am new to Hydroponics. When you have an Aero system providing for several different plants how do you prevent cross pollenation? I would love to build this but with any Hydro system I have been trying to find a solution to cross pollenation. Any tips would be great!
Nice. I Built a similar aero/nft rail system and have some tomatoes in it right now outside on my back deck. Started off rough but are doing really well now. Check em out. Cant see the Aero unit because I have it somewhat insulated from the direct sun but there is a picture of it on my page. Planing on doing peppers in it next season and doing my tomatoes in DWC buckets.
About your EC level issues, in my own personal experience and from reading around on various forums, i've determined that most peppers really don't like high PPMs at all. In most of the successful grow logs i've seen, a lot of people use 400-600ppm through the entire grow from start to finish. The tricky part is getting enough calcium at those lower PMs. What's worked for me lately is doing about 400ppm of nutrients, and 100ppm of cal/mag. That's been the magic number for me in hydro.
Anyway to get or purchase a parts and material list for the setup or a schematic. Just finished buildout of growroom in warehouse and would love to try the system. Thanks Nick
Hello again. I watched them all. Aeroponics is the way to go. I dirt farm and would like to duplicate your system. Wow talk about yeild. Could I get a materials list and what hole saw sizes I would need? feel free to email or call me grandpabaugh@yahoo.com or 701-430-3648 Thanks for the great videos.
I'm impressed & amazed, that's a killer setup. I noticed you mentioned habanero chile issues with blossom drop. My experience with habaneros is they want "FULL" sun & they thrive in consistantly hot & humid climates. Unfortunately, if not mistaken, most Bell peppers don't care for the type of climate that the habaneros thrive on. Maybe try to isolate the higher shu capsicums to a warmer area that can get the most light possible. Hope that helps & I haven't misinformed, just been my experience.
Hey! Nice system. might build one myself i have same thing put not as complicated mines just a dwc with the tubes! How much did this awesome system set you back!
my habenero plants werent producing at all while i had them indoors, and even when i moved them outside i didnt see any changes, so what ended up working for me was to place my air pump right next to my plants so the entire plant was vibrating 24/7 and i started forming fruit. hope that is helpful.
Sounds like you're going to have to rail one type at a time to perfect your formula for each pepper type as peppers are not created equal. Any way to spread your rails apart on you next design to allow you to get in there easier? I know, might require more lights to cover the larger area.
Great looking peppers! I had problems with indoor blossom drop on a few chiles, and found that my humidity was way low. Search for "humidity-and-vapor-pressure-deficit" webpage on UrbanGarden Magazine.com The info on this page is priceless...especially the first chart.
couldn't post the link for some reason. Enjoying your vids!
Blossom drop - The quality of the vegetation looks just great, do you really want more production?:)) A couple things come to mind that would cause blossom drop. The first is the stems that need to support the flower are too weak the the weight of the flower causes them to break. That's the result of too much shade. The other is a phosphorus deficiency for a specific variety causing weak stems. Better airflow might help also.
Wow, your peppers are really producing now. Plants look tremendous... happy & healthy. I'm finding the same thing with a less potent nute solution and I don't have any fruiting stuff growing. I know with dirt gardening, to cut back on fertilization once fruiting starts. Especially on the nitrogen. I like your pollinating gizmo.
how did you pollinate the peppers if they are too far out of reach?

Good job on the setup. A plumbing video would be nice, especially for the nozzle system. Hopefully everything works out well for the peppers.

I love the toothbrush mod! The system works great. You need to invent a long arm pepper picker grabber! Amazing.

thats an interesting find with your EC levels. I've found that humidity plays a factor in fruit forming too.
