Bell pepper　（ PET bottle hydroponics　）

It would be useful to have vegetables that can be used for various dishes and can be harvested for a long time.
Have you ever thought about it?
I found out that Bell pepper is a vegetable with a surprisingly long harvest time.

(^ ◇ ^)

When you want to use it, you can harvest it right away!
Then, I decided to grow it and try to grow Bell pepper.

First of all, from the usual information collection ('ω')ノ

As a result of research, Bell pepper is a vegetable that has continuous cropping problems and is vulnerable to cold,
It was written that the seedlings were good and bad, and the amount of harvest after that was different.
The point to be careful about growing is to give plenty of water in the summer and to increase the yield by triplet,
If you bear fruit, don't forget to add fertilizer (;´･ω･)

A lot of water and fertilizer due to continuous cropping failure ...

It seems to be suitable for hydroponics.
OK, let's grow it by hydroponics (^ ◇ ^)

Let's try sowing seeds.

Purchase two 100 dollar bell pepper seeds at the classic Daiso (One Dollar shop)(/・ω・)/

I sow seeds on a plastic bottle hydroponic plant.

I got a little bit of knowledge here and will try it.

I haven't even noticed the direction of planting seeds when sowing seeds. w

But! （｀・ω・´）

↓

It seems that it grows well and becomes a straight stalk when the root grows downward.

I heard something good (^ ◇ ^)

Plant in a plastic bottle hydroponic plant with 3 seeds facing down.

After planting the seeds, spread the palm peat from above until the seeds are no longer visible.

（｀・ω・´）

(Because Bell pepper is an anaerobic seed, we laid palm peat from above)

Sprouting 13 days after sowing.

On May 28, 2016, we confirmed the germination of Bell pepper and will continue to grow it.

The average temperature in June was 22 ° C in Tokyo.
(The optimum temperature for germination of Bell pepper is 25-30 ℃.)

Three grains germinated.

7 days after germination,

Every species loses the same amount of growth ... (; ･`д･´)

* When growing in Otsuka House (OAT House), use 2000 times concentrated solution until germination and fruiting The

Thinking that the top seedling is the best ...

(Since the quality of the seedlings affects the yield, we carefully selected them.)

14 days later

Since the vinyl tape in the frame was about to peel off, I replaced it with a transparent type.

Seedlings are growing well.

After 21 days,

The seedlings grew well when the temperature became warm.

28 days later

There are no pests, no illnesses, and so much effort has gone so far.

But ... After this, there is a little trouble ...
