I found this sub and had some space in my nursery. Was inspired to start some Cayenne seedlings, because the seed was gifted to me by a friend. Wish me luck. No clue about growing peppers but grown other plants, mainly dofferent herbs for the kitchen and medicinal plants in coco or different styles of hydroponics. Anything in particular I have to look out for? Any advice would be appreciated.
I Want to stay in coco or hydro using synthetic nutrients, so please no advice for living soil or organic nutes.
Currently in fabric nursery pots, using about 25oz of Coco/perlite, germinated in paper towel and then sown into the Coco medium, once the taproot emerged. First watered by hand until the seedling was somewhat established. Currently fertigated 4 times a day on a flood and drain setup with a wide veriety of other plants.
Indoors, plants currently getting 250-300 ppfd. For nutrients using Plagron Hydro A+B and a bit of Calmag. 0.9-1.2 EC and 5.8-6.2 PH, humidity is 60-65%. The fan in the picture currently is off but air is gently drawn in by the Hvac system in the gowbox at the top. Photoperiode is 24h of light currently, while in the nursery.
When they outgrow the nursery, the plants will be moved to a tent with flood and drain setup with 18h of light getting 500-700 ppfd.
The goal is to get a shorter, managable plant due to somewhat being space restricted growing In a shared tent with other plants but I still want good fruit production.
Thank you in advance.
