Bleu's 2009 Hydro Garden

I did another flush, i think there was some salt buildups in the pot. And playing with the nutes again. Doing a lucas type formula. I had read in a chilie forum that a guy was successful with cutting out the FloraGrow. So I am trying (per gallon) 5ml micro and 10ml bloom. Hoping to slow down the vegetative growth and prevent bud drop by lowering the N. I'll see how it goes. I really should get a ppm/ec meter.

Thanks for the comments. This plant really is a strong one, the stem is almost 1" thick. I bet it would be a beast if i stopped cutting it and put it outside.
 
I got a bit lazy the past week and didnt pay much attention to my plant. The res is almost dry and I need to change it today, I am going to drop the nute dose again. Still going to go with the lucas-type formula, seems like it did alright with that.

Still though im not sure what to do with this thing, its just keeps growing...
 
Thanks Tom, I'll probably order one of those. Its cheap enough not to.

Time for a bit of an update. I haven't been paying attention to my plant as much as ide like to. but it doesnt seem too bad off. A few of the leaves are getting a bit crispy, possibly from not rotating daily. I am trying to keep it well trimmed this time around, only allowing it to grow about 2 nodes worth of buds, You'll see what I mean in the photo.

Wow talk about neglect. I have not been taking care of my plant, been 4 weeks since i did a res change. I opened it up and there was like an inch of water left in the bucket. Lots of bud drop, I cut off everything that completely dropped its buds and i trimmed the roots back a bit too. It does look like I might have 1 pepper though! heres the pics. Also a picture of my rooting pineapple crown.

I actually cut off that center branch after taking the photo, cause i accidentally knocked off its only bud while messing with it.

Heres the piece of the dense root mass that I trimmed off. It was starting to grow itself around the air stone. I think this AquaShield stuff really helps make nice roots.

Oh yeah bleu I can see that baby pepper starting :-P
I'm digging the rooted pineapple man, I rooted one a couple weeks back but my roots weren't thick like yours. A bunch of little thin roots, I guess it must be the strain. I planted mine in I think mg cactus soil as I heard that would work well for the pineapple. What are you planning on doing with yours? I saw a badass pineapple plant at my hydro store that was in a one plant ebb and flow with hydroton. It was pretty big and had a pineapple the size of a soda can coming out the top it was sweet
Keep up the nice work man, that pepper still looks great without your full attention
 
Cool, thanks. Yeah I plan on moving it into some cactus soil as well. I dont even expect fruit from this pineapple i just think it will make a cool house plant, hopefully it will survive with minimal sunlight.
 
I have mine in a small greenhouse that sits in front of a window
It doesn't get a whole lot of sun and has been doing well
