hydrid sweet pepper and some chive/shadon beni cuttings in a bubble system. decided to do this after a night of heavy drinking. use it now to test nutrients.




pepper plant on the mends after last episode.



tomatoes coming to come. the leaves to the top appear to be smaller than usual and a bit wrinkled. maybe a sign of disease






eventually pulled up the celery. fungi treatment started a bit too late




mixture of celery, parsley, chive and shadon beni cuttings, small leave thyme and a piece of ginger

[shake d livin wake d dead]

crops looking good,tomatoes need water,lol...

[rfari]

Nice. I'll add a second flow to the tomato trough today and see if it improves.
Edit: swap the 500l/h sump for a 700l/h. Would monitor it for a couple hours. Hope my fruits don't drop shakes!

[shake d livin wake d dead]

ah din say tuh drown the plant eh..if rain falling,no need to water,if sun hot,then,hence the reason the leaves drooping downwards..ah seeing ah yellow leaf in the pepper..

[rfari]

yep the pepper right now shedding the more mature leaves since the drastic nute change from last year. rainfall inflow into these hydro systems is negligible.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

if you don't mind,what nutes are u using for the pepper?

[rfari]

if you don't mind,what nutes are u using for the pepper?

25% alpha, 75% charlie @2-2.2EC. low in nitrogen i know but still prototyping the nutes

[rfari]

not having much luck with lettuce from since day 1. did a search and it appears to be lack of nitrogen in the solution. some really good information here especially for those without the agricultural background like myself
http://www.hbci.com/~wenonah/min-def/lettuce.htm

there are a couple used copies in print as well. just placed an order.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

nice info on the lettuce there^..I'd add to it when I finish my document..

[MG Man]

on another note, does anyone want a free mandarine sapling?
It's about 6 inches tall, and I really don't have space for it..........

[shake d livin wake d dead]

yuh doh give away dem thing so bai^^..yuh doh realise yuh does hardly see that and tangerine in the market..
on another note..I see men selling chenette ahready..and by the lb to inno..

[MG Man]

I have a fully grown tree that I have to cut down as well
Roots will potentially compromise my septic system, so yeah, I rather give the sapling away than kill two trees

[Chimera]

sigh,..i too lazy yes

after spending a couple thousand on supplies I hang up the project cuz I couldn't get a workman to lay the floor of greenhouse with bricks.

I feel ill go bhagwansinghs and get 2-3 sheet of 4x8 styrofoam sheets (anyone know anywhere cheaper?) to do the lettuce in a pond system

i also looking for the EASIEST and cleanest way possible to punch 2.75 inch holes in 4 inch pvc pipe.

[InDeForest]

I been following this thread hoping to try that same pvc system, what came to mind was to use a hole saw with pilot bit

anyone tried that?

yup. this is what i had in mind. i have used it before to cut holes in PVC (can't remember if it was pipe or something else). just take ur time with the tool

[Chimera]

i had tried a hole saw but i think my problem was i was using a underpowered cordless drill. The bit kept sticking and freaking up.

Also I was using a cheap low quality bit from bhags.

Will probably order a high quality one from amazon and see the scene.
