Indoor Hydroponic DWC Method For Peppers

[@jackcederberg9018]

I've stopped by your channel several times for soil grows. I decided to look into DWC for super hots, yet again, I find myself at your channel takings notes. Thank you for creating this content, it is very helpful.

[@HugeBig]

literally that is me, hydro just seems so much cleaner and less hassle (or maybe different set of hassles lol). Is DWC the best method for hot peppers? Have you tried anything yet?

[@jackcederberg9018]

@@HugeBig I have tried it, no gnats!! The only issue I've had was timing when to put the rock wool in the medium, other than that, I would recommend. A little bit more maintenance, but not bad.

[@HugeBig]

@@jackcederberg9018 that's awesome thank you!! I have a question sorry if this is silly, one thing I haven't been able to find info on, can you keep pepper plants long term using DWC method? Like once they get more than 2ft high or whatever can they stay supported so they don't fall over, is it difficult to "transplant" to larger water containers, etc? Every hydro article/video shows pretty small plants, I haven't seen any info on large plants grown with this method

[@samljer]

@@jackcederberg9018 100% more maintenance, but i find that the maintenance is smaller stuff, more often. if that makes sense.

Khang, your continued plant experimentation is so enjoyable to follow! -Bob...

[@ronparker6489]

Best video I've watched re gardening. And I've watched dozens! Awesome job, sir. Will be attempting to duplicate your success this winter in Tennessee with a new passive solar greenhouse I'm building. Am looking forward to a fun winter. Thanks again.

[@Sg4809]

I had a sweet 100 last year and man did it produce and grow like crazy!

[@blogoponics3449]

I currently have a Jalapeno plant growing in DWC outside. It is doing great. Always enjoy your videos.

[@justaddmusclecom]

Beautiful, I will be turning my garage into a hydroponic growing station and also for starting a lot of my plants going into our food forest. I have learned so much from this channel, thank you for providing awesome content.

[@91JLovesDisney]

how goes it?

[@seshymcsesherton6923]

I love the chocolate sprinkles variety, I'm growing some this year. but I find they aren't really heavy producers, but the taste is better than any tomato I've ever had.

[@rjb6919]

What lighting are you using in the tent? Amazing growth, my chin hit the floor at the 24 day stage!

[@Weeklyrant53]

khang, i am huge fan of your channel. very informational, and very well narrated. have you done any updates of fruit trees using the kratky or areoponics

[@pepperdactyl]

Thanks for sharing the Khang. The plant looks great. You shared some great tips too.

[@davidcrawford6505]

I am struggling with my bell peppers in my DWC setup. Hoping your process helps get mine growing better. I recently ordered the GH flora 3 part nutrients on Amazon. My peppers are having very dark leaves but seem to have stopped growing after moving from my Idoo system to my DWC setup. I was using Superthrive as my nutrients. Maybe that was not a good choice.

[@nathanielrose9156]

kool video. is the pump very quiet because im going to be experimenting in my living room by a large window.

[@saltytree729]

Hi khang did you harden the plant off or just put it straight outside? The tomato plant.

[@Sal-G06]

Hey Khang do you still use Masterblend for kratky or have you found a different fertilizer?

[@acolley2891]

your voice is outstanding

[@91JLovesDisney]

Question - why not cram a bunch of these onto one bucket?

[@alexbautista7941]

Hello. Do you have a video that shows how to start peppers from seed? Thank you

[@Lisa_Zapata]

Hello..I see you add premixed nutrients and water. But do you ever do water changes?

[@tjr1252]

Hi great videos! I had a question about adding nutrients to seedlings. What i've read is that you should add nutrients after the first set of true leaves have formed. Do you agree with that or do you think adding after the embryonic leaves are fully formed is sufficient? Also do you recommend diluting your nutrient solution when the plant is young?

[@midtexasgardener5422]

Great video as always. Great info. Plant looks good. I did top most of my pepper plants this year.

[@glennmoriale8260]

I have a setup for peppers just seeking knowledge of nutrient levels and what nutrients you're using

[@raghunandanraman2388]

Hi Khang, I really love your videos and your dedication to producing high quality videos for your viewers. I have a few questions: 1) which nutrients would you recommend for growing lettuce? I know in past videos you have used Masterblend, General Hydroponics Flora Series, and the DynaGro, but I wanted to know which one would be best for lettuce 2)Do you recommend DWC or Kratky Method for lettuce? 3) Which pH meter do you use? 4) How do you avoid root diseases when growing in Kratky Method? 5) If using DWC, and the water level drops, should I refill with same strength nutrients, or just plain water or another concentration? I know these are a lot of questions to answer, but I would really appreciate it if you could kindly reply to me. I am a huge fan of your channel. Keep making great videos, and I hope to hear back from you soon! Thanks, Raghu

[@raghunandanraman2388]

Hi Khang, can you please let me know about the above questions? I would really appreciate it!

[@nodders6830]

11:00 24 days I think it doubled in size , I think you need to check what doubling means , that's at least quadruple or more . Amazing growth for just over 3 weeks .

[@fireno.5582]

hello Khang Starr, i am a big fan of your channel. I watched your hydroponic cup lettuce growing video and other hydroponic pepper growing videos. i start going lettuce in cups with miracle-gro general purpose fertilizer and a bit of jacob's fertilizer for fun,. but after harvested and i ate the lettuce, i started to vomiting very bad and sick half an hour after, i believe i got fertilize poison and almost went to hospital for that. so my question is; are the fertilize water growing method safe? I cannot explain why i got poison so bad because of the fertilizer water that I used? But I see you grow your lettuce and peppers in the hydroponic method, and one of the video you actually use the miracle-gro fertilizer for hydroponic as well and you are doing fine. and i believed you also eat your harvest fruits as well. and many other pepper growers eat the fruit as well. so why is that happened to me? right now i am really confuse whether to keep using commercial fertilizer any more. thanks

[@derekjohnson7416]

I noticed on your kraky method you used general hydroponic nutrients and with this you used dyna grow. Do you suggest one over the other or did you do different kinds because of different methods?

[@thedestroyer3879]

You use a 2 inch net cupfor the tomato plant at the beginning of the video?

[@AnnaRosaEverythingEnergy]

Love your videos. I am just setting up my garden. Where do I get the the exact disk that you used to accept a 2" net pot? Silly question but getting the sizes right is step one :)

[@josephwilliamcosta]

Did you do an update of this project? I can't find it. Thank you!

[@MRios1128]

Do the plants stay inside the 2 inch net cup for the entire life of the plant?

[@harleymills5150]

Great vid Khang. You have inspired me. I am retiring end September, I will be starting my vegie garden then. Thanx for a great informative channel!

[@PhilKoenigBrooklyn]

What kind of wattage are you growing with? Thank you for all your groundbreaking work.

[@AM-xf8mu]

I grow sweet tomatoes and salad type tomatoes. I let them fully ripen before taking them off. But for some reason they are either too sweet or else slightly bitter

[@tinkiak6052]

Great results. Thanks for the update 🐞🌶🐞

[@rorokub]

Dude you're awesome.

[@FinehomesofNewHampshire]

Did the Mars produce fruit? Thanks Khang!!

[@niko26]

How often are your changing the nutrients?

[@tangobayus]

If you keep a bowl of water nearby the birds won't go for your tomatoes. Look into the Sun Gold variety- very sweet.

[@chrisclyde4490]

Appreciate the great information 🤙

[@justinmay8289]

Awesome! How much light per day? Will it fruit under 24hr lights or do you give them a dark period?

[@KhangStarr]

10 hrs per day. I don't do 24hr light period. Personally, I feel that's a waste of electricity, there is no benefit. It's best to mimic nature.

[@davidcrawford6505]

I'm still struggling with my DWC bell peppers. Got leaf curl and flower drop with not a single fruit development. Please adise me on what I can do. Thanks.

[@hondapro87]

Could I use a 2.5 gallon bucket for pepper plants?

[@abbiegaille]

What do you use on your tomatoes to protect against pests? I tried growing them last year and they were devoured by caterpillars :(

[@drakethedragon100]

If caterpillars are eating your tomatoes you can try something called Bacillus thuringiensis...sold as BT. It’s very effective, chemical free...biocontrol, safe for mammals. And of course there is also neem oil that can be used in conjunction.

[@thugiangvu1]

Amazing tomatoes​. I like to know about ..can I use ferterlizer 20/20 or miracke grow...for hydroponic?? For ... Thank you lots. Vu Hai

[@KevinLaPage-ff6bj]

I would use Master Blend tomato formula it works great for most everything. www.masterblend.com/ that is the company but for small purchases just search for them on amazon

[@Krullerized]

@@KevinLaPage-ff6bj Thanks pal it's so cheap too :o

[@KevinLaPage-ff6bj]

@@Krullerized Just make sure you are getting all 3 parts. the master blend bag, the nitrate and then epsom salt. I just order the Masterblend and the nitrate and then buy the epsom salts locally. Just make sure the epsom salts is unscented. The stuff is awesome and works great for anything. Also when mixing mix the masterblend first shaking well, then the epsom salt, then the nitrate so they mix well. Take care

Is a 2" net cup big enough for mature hot pepper plants? I see some lids with a 6" net cup built-in that fit 5 gallon buckets. Starting with Cayenne and Lemon Drop peppers.

The leaves grow too close simply due to top light only. Side light is needed simulasting like sun rise and set.

[@mohdtmeme6842]

did you turn off your air pump ? or do you keep it running 24/7 ?

[@0x52]

24/7. If you shut it off for more than a few hours, roots start to suffocate and decay leading to root rot.

[@mohdtmeme6842]

​@@0x52 thank you.

Do you really need the bubbles? Isn't it enough if some of the roots are still above the waterlevel?

[@chipsandtea455]

Have you ever had problem with edema on your peppers in hydroponic set up? love yours videos btw 👍

Try to increase airflow and decrease humidity if it is high. Usually it can be reversed with a good fan and some fresh air.

How can i contact you

[@JobraKai]

Have you ever had kratky method peppers growing that grew very slowly and had super small leaves? I'm thinking maybe they need more light? (the LED light is about 2 to 3 feet above it which is high to accommodate other plants and no reflective material.

[@azucarlatina52]

You are still using Dynagrow I see. I still have the bottle I brought last year that it got to late to return. I can't seem to understand after reading the warning about cancer on the bottle you still are using it for growing food products. The reason I grow my own veggies is because I don't want chemicals in my vegetables.

[@ceaserelizondo]

Ok i have a question? If im doing indoor growing do i need all that hydroponic grow stuff or can I just use Mirical grow I'm a new starter I'm growing chillies I started off with Thai Chili's I ordered some ghost peppers and some Carolina Reapers but I'm starting them from seed and I'm new at this can you please help.

[@austinwourms7386]

ceaserelizondo all you need is a nutrient solution, (search “bottle hydroponics”) but study’s have showed that oxengenating the water significantly increases plant growth, on top of that many plants require high oxygen. Simply put just get a tub with a hole for your plants roots to dip into the nutrient solution and a pump, this can come from a fish tank, just make sure it can handle it, this is a basic DWC hydroponics. But if I was u I would look into other hydroponic methods.

[@ceaserelizondo]

@@austinwourms7386 yes i am im just starting off slow but eventually going to do bigger stuff and better because im going ti have expensive plants or chili's

[@austinwourms7386]
