<p>Thanks for putting in the time and sharing your results. It was great to see the pictures of the plants for ourselves. This generated some good discussion too. Loved the videos!</p>

<p>Jon,</p>
<p>Thanks! The whole grow was in an enclosed 4x4' grow tent so they should have had equal amounts of light. I just had to open it up to get in there and shoot the video. I only used the big fan to help rattle the plants up for pollination purposes, it didn't run regularly. I'm really surprised at how differently the plants reacted, given so many controls. Overall, I think it accurately portrayed the difference between aquaponics and expensive nutes though.. or lack of difference…</p>

Great report. I am surprised that the flowering was delayed for the bigger plants. Also surprised how pathetic the maxicrop ended up after the early lead. Couple of comments, questions. Was the entire grow wrapped in reflective material, or just the back, maybe leading to the rear plants getting more light? Could the fan directed up front have caused the Roots Organics to dry, I noticed an earlier comment that was using the most water, perhaps the rapid loss caused the said nute-burn? Great…

<p>Jon,</p>
<p>Thanks for the encouragement. I top off the buckets if the plants exhibit dryness or lack of considerable amounts of water, but I don't replace until ppm levels start to really drop off then I replace each reservoir. This tends to be about every 10-14 days.. The root mass on most of these are quite extreme so the buckets can be almost half full and there is no drying out noticeable on the plants. They look like they are going to be a hot bunch. The water for the aquaponic buckets…</p>

They look like they are going to be a hot bunch. The water for the aquaponic buckets is currently coming from a crayfish tank that has internal filters. I normally run a raft system on this tank and have phenomenal yields for peppers. </p>

<p>I definitely agree on the variability on comparison grows. Even I have found things that I will change for future comparisons. But so far I think this challenge is going very well for a first run and for starting with more questions than answers.</p>
<p></p>

Interesting, LH. Thanks for the effort. Do you dump and replace each nutrient bucket, or just top up? How often? I bet those peppers will be 'smoking' hot, eh? Is the aquaponic water coming from a media based system? Sorry if you already covered the info and i may have missed it. Thanks again for the effort. Any and all comparison grows I've read have variables that some will wish had been altered. Can't please everybody. I think your comparisons are valid, and the results will be informative.
