I was wanting to try growing peppers using the Kratky method. Does anyone use the same method for peppers? if so, could i see some pics. Im trying to find out what size containers i need. Thanks

I grew this ghost chilli in Kratky two years ago, it’s now in a recirculating Dutch bucket. Be aware that your nutrient solution will run out of oxygen and you risk root rot in extended crops in Kratky. But if you are mindful of this it will grow ok.

I was about to start some peppers. And from what I've seen, better count them as a tomato plant. Do you plan on single stemming? I was gonna use a 20 gallon tote per plant due to the magnitude of roots they tend to put out. And that's because you're only gonna get about half that amount in nutrients in it under the cups and have room for the air roots. Was also going to toss in an air stone to help promote aeration

With a plant like that the main thing is oxygen I would definitely have an AirStone in there
