Our first hydroponic vegetables! These peppers are grown in a water culture system made of a 5 gallon pickle bucket, a net pot from progressive gardens and a basic air pump with an airstone for oxygenation
. The net pot is filled with hydroton which are round clay pellets. The seeds are grown and were originally started in grodan rockwool cubes. We have been growing these babies for at least 3 months but at first we were using a basic fluorescent growlight which wasnt working out so we upgraded to the sunsystem 150 high pressure sodium light. Under the old light the peppers were surviving but never growing any larger than about 1". After changing lights they immediately sprouted up much higher and havent stopped yet.
