Currently: Fatalii yellow In the Past: Lemon Drop Chili Progress and Status The End This project has been abandoned as we had to tear down the whole installation by request of the commune. The facility manager said that the housecleaner got headaches from our installation. We know that this is a very poor statement (no one else got headache, everything is enclosed in a growbox and the chemicals that are used by the housecleaner are way more harmful) but nevertheless we decided to make room for other projects and installation in the Lab. 2018/11/07 15:09 · virii New version A new version has been installed. As you see on the photos, we decided to grow the plant in a Growbox. Turns out that the shelf we used in first place was way to tight. In its new home the chili has all the space it needs to develop. Oh and we switched to Fatalii yellow. 2017/11/06 23:11 · virii hydroponic First Attempt failed Sadly this chili didn't make it. After months of hope that it would grow larger I saw that the roots had been very much damaged. Nothing would have saved it. So I will probably replace the Lemon Drop by a smaller plant. Royal Black comes to my mind. 2017/11/06 23:06 · virii hydroponic Older entries >> Material Spundfass / Deckelfass 30 Liter Luftausströmer Aquariumpumpe 800l/h Hi-Tech Aero-Kit Membranpumpe & Schlauch 24 Hours Plug in Timer UFO Led Pflanzenlampe 138w (46*3w) mit IR UV Ray Gardena 1399-20 Micro-Drip-System Start-Set Super-root Air-pot 3L Pixnor Portable LCD-Display Digital TDS Wasser Qualität Tester Pen PH meter Perlite Perligran Premium pH Down pH Up Compo Hakaphos spezial 16+8+22 Dehumidifier Building Carve nearly all of the lid off in order to stuck the Air-Pot in it.

Plant your seedling. Position your UV lamp approx. 20cm over your seedling. Use a plug-in-timer to start your Hydroponic construction. Your Hydroponic should run at least for 12 hours straight. Dehumidifier is a must if you can't open windows in your room. PH Optimal PH level for growing chilies lies between 5,2 - 5,6. EC Optimal EC level lies between 600-800 µs/cm for seedlings. After a month you can go up to 1300-1500 µs/cm. Pictures First version Second version projects/food_inventory_stuff/hydroponic.txt Last modified: 2021/10/10 23:58by metalgamer
