Very nice pepper collection.
Thanks, I’ve got a 10x10 outside garden just for peppers. It’s 13 different types but all are ![]()
What a lovely planted tank. Impressive.
Recently I was trying to figure out how to convert my Refractometer reading for saltwater into a scale for brix count. In finding a conversion scale, I noticed that fruit sugar percent maxes out at 32% sugar content on fresh fruit. My brain immediately went to cannabis and I thought what a coincidence. Most cannabis maxes out on cannabinoids near that range on flower.
I know some flowers test a tad higher; but then I hear about shenanigans like kiefing the larf and rolling the test buds in it. Or unreal manicuring off leafs on extremely dry buds to bump up the percent cannabinoids.
Anyway, just made me pause and go hum. I wonder if there is a correlation between % cannabinoids in cannabis and % sugar content of fruit. This is what I think about while stoned. Or now I want some fruit. Ha
It’s pretty much all sand and trees where I live, so outdoor gardening is rough, so I went indoors for a while.
I don’t have them running at the moment, but for a couple years I ran a 5x5 and a homemade RDWC pipe type system. Hot peppers, cucs, green peppers, kale, sage, basil, oregano, tomatoes, etc… all the usual suspects.
Life gets busy sometimes though, and now I’m just going to be running a 2x4 in the winters for a while, and no vegetables.
I really enjoy the techie aspect of hydro though. I’m not super great at it, but as they say; Do what you love for fun, and do what you’re good at for money. I’ve never been lucky enough to marry the 2 together ![]()
Nice setup my dude!! @Bubbala
