Currently growing 3 different cucumbers(lemon,marketmore,Persian), jalapeños,Thai chilis,bell pepper, banana pepper, tomatoes, some butter crunch lettuce that hasn’t bolted yet surprisingly,broccoli. All on the same stand and getting great harvests! I keep ph around 6.5 and EC around 2.5. Im debating going full hydro for everything except trees/bush/root veggies since it’s been so rewarding.

Lemon Cucumber is like a weed, you'll get millions of them you won't be able to eat fast enough ;) I'm curious to try peppers in hydro. I have the best results planting them in 5gal buckets. Those I planted to the ground are kind of miserable little plants. I think I should pinch first flowers, because they have fruits already, but plants are small.

Looking great!

Got my own little hydroponic setup in the backyard but getting pretty shit results (stunted growth), though it has been better lately.

Maybe I'll make a post here too at some point to get more hydroponicing in here!
