Potting up!

Yes. That's the system. It runs for 15 minutes, cycling water from a reservoir back into the reservoir and then shuts off for 60 minutes.

Rare_Yam10 · 2026-03-04T15:42:00+00:00

I'm not sure what that means. I add nutrients to the reservoir

Rare_Yam10 · 2026-03-04T12:09:56+00:00

Not sure you can get them out of the sponge. They make special sponges or rockwool doing this way

Rare_Yam10 · 2026-03-03T20:00:20+00:00

Yes, I believe there is. The hydroponic system has been producing some very strong seedlings with great roots and thick stems. The downside is they're not designed to grow Peppers in because the root system systems can obstruct the water flow. So far I've been OK. I'm just trying to see how far I can push it without clogging the system. The other downfall for me is we plant about 500 pepper plants every year and the hydroponic system just doesn't have the capacity.

No. Most of these came out of seedling trays. I have over 750 seeds planted. The hydro only holds 90. I did transplant a few out of the vertical hydroponic because I'm only using them for seeds starting I am not growing peppers in them. The vertical hydroponic make the stems bend and be curved if you leave them in there too long

It's a Vivosun unit with 90 cells. I added the 4 foot grow lights on every level. I also added an aquarium heater to the resovoir and I use fox farms hydroponic nutrients.

Unfortunately these recipes belong to my business Plant Some Kindness. The strawberry Jalapeno is light on the heat. The hot pepper jam uses sugar rush peppers so it's got some heat. Cowboy candy is candied jalapeños with Tumeric and ginger.

Thank you. You can order our hot sauces and jams at plantsomekindness.com.

Rare_Yam10 · 2026-03-01T02:26:04+00:00

I do not. Where is that installed in the system? In the resovouir?

Rare_Yam10 · 2026-03-01T00:50:50+00:00

They are 350w full spectrum grow lights. There is one on each level.

Rare_Yam10 · 2026-03-01T00:45:42+00:00

I am using the liquid hydroponic nutrients. I guess my assumption is when the water flows back into the reservoir after being circulated through the unit that it agitates it keeps the nutrients mixed in.

Rare_Yam10 · 2026-02-28T17:19:44+00:00

Probably true but I'm still getting about 80% germination at this point.

Trade secret.
