Good Morning Stelthy,

I've dedicated my two cups of morning joe to catch up on your thread. :) I've thought about what hydroponic Strawberries would be like. I've eaten a few strawberries from our local growers (2 years ago was a banner crop in SoCal) that looked like they were sprinkled with sugar and were huge and juicy and about the best tasting thing I've had in my life. Wouldn't it be cool to have fresh strawberry shortcake in the dead of winter!?! :)

I think the chili (pepper) you are referring to is a "Habanero". It's a red chili and it's about two to three times as hot as a Jalapeno. Besides the hot, the flavor is sweet! The lady at our local Farmers Market makes a Habanero Jelly which is very tasty with crackers and cream cheese!

There's is only one other chili that is hotter and I think it comes from India. The use of the term pepper is incorrect when referring to chili's. It's what the Spaniard's called them (because they only knew of pepper) when they were exploring So America in the early days.

When eating chili's, the heat is generated by a chemical called capsaicin (which doesn't exist in pepper). Capsaicin is neutralized by milk so make sure you have a glass handy when eating chili's. :)

stelthy- in soil if you cant reach perfect moisture level, underwatering is the best next option. soil plants will survive alot better from being dehydrated and actually revive quite well if caught in time. over watering is basically the worst thing to do in soil. the plant sufffers a major decrease in growth until it can return to a healthy water level. i do agree with Las fingerez, i think the watering schedule and misting might be causing a little too much moisture by the looks of those lower leaves.

This pic was taken fairly recently from my last grow, What I'd like to point out is I used the same 2x 5l rez. and my largest lady still reached 47" tall and budded heavily so 5l rez-tubs are fine for now...in the future I may use 2x 10l rez-tubs but for now I know 2x 5l will be fine :) - STELTHY

This was taken from my last grow in my old cupboard..The cab was an office cupboard and I had a mixture of LED and CFL (ENVIROLITE) lamps I'll post a couple more pics from that setup and include a LINK so you can read through it if you like :) - STELTHY :leaf:

And thats what I ended up with :) ..... 7.2 oZ Dry :) Not at all bad for 2 plants on my 1st go.. If both ladies were from the same genetics I would've pulled closer to 9 oZ Dry but thats what my new cabs for :)

Anyway here's a LINK to my old thread where the above photo's were taken from :

i've got the same one, just be careful not to drop it fully in the water, splash proof, not water proof (my screen had condensation in it lol). get some calibration fluid for a few quid to keep it accurate and u wont go wrong with it bro, good buy :)

I am a little confused lol, I may have dropped a Bagseed in the pot as well as the Pepper seed's, This little seedling does appear to be 'Pot' lol but we'll see....Maybe Pepper seedlings look the same?? - STELTHY :leaf:
