They're small and idk 3 weeks old, no signs of deficiency aside from blossom end rot.
Was set up with Manutec 1L Hydroponic NK Plus For Fruit And Veg. Water is about half depleted, has been hot so possibly nutrients are concentrated?
pH had risen to about 7 from 6.5. I readjusted it to about 6.5. In dirt this range would be fine for calcium transport.
Oh hydroponic wisdom people, enlighten me. Should I just remix new solution? Add a supplement? Is pH for transport different in hydro?
And powdery mildew. But they always get powdery mildew.
Solution to blossom end rot is to hand pollinate to ensure fruit set, wait till pollination takes, and then remove the blossoms by hand. You leave the blossoms on, and you increase the chances of end rot substantially. Not sure it being hydroponics or nah is relevant.
Additionally, these plants are monoecious, so you have to learn to ID the male and female flowers. The males are on long stem and have the anthers. Rip the petals off and it makes for a decent pollination wand.
