7 The Most Effective Ways to Easily Cultivate Hydroponics Chillies

1. Choosing Chili Seed
   The earliest step before starting to plant hydroponic chili is to learn and know the types and varieties of chillies that we will plant later. From chili hybrida to local chilli varieties. For many local chilli commonly come from Rembang, Kudus and Tanah Karo of North Sumatra. Medium types of chili hybrida usually imported from neighboring countries, Thailand and Taiwan.

If looking at the technicalities, planting the local type of chili is much easier than the type of chili hybrida, because chili is more easily adapt to environmental conditions. But when viewed from the productivity, chili hybrid is superior to the local chili.

1. Sowing Chili Seeds
   Planting chilli using hydroponic way can not be done immediately with the seeds. Therefore seeds should be sown first. Its function is to select the seeds that you have between the seeds that grow dwarf, defect, have disease or seed seed that will be prepared as seeds ready for planting.
   The commonly used seedbed is with small polybags, trays, or ground plots. Seedlings that you already have in place, use cocopeat or mixture of soil, cocopeat, and also husk husk as medium with ratio 1: 1: 1 then cover with fine soil or charcoal husk.
   Simply use 2 to 3 seeds only on each hole of seedlings so that chili plants have enough room to grow later. Take care of seeding until the seed is ready for planting. generally seeds will grow around 5 to 7 days and start ready for harvest after the age of 25 to 30 days.

2. Preparing Media Hydroponics Planting
   Limited land makes people more creative. While waiting for seedling seedling takes place, well you also prepare a place for the cultivation of this hydroponic chilli.
   Planting medium you can make by mixing cocopeat and charcoal husk with the ratio of material 1: 1 to flat on a special place for hydroponics such as pieces of pipes or bottles aqua. This planting medium is easily available around you, or you can also buy it at an online hydroponics store.

Do not forget to give the axis as a water absorbent media for chili plants. We recommend to use flannel, because this cloth has a high quality of absorption which of course the nutrients needed to grow chillies will be easily met.

1. Planting of Hydroponic Chili Seeds
   Seeds of chili that have been sowing usually only ready to be planted after past the age of 25-30 days. To take the seeds too we must be careful, before pulling it flush the seedling medium until wet. This will make it easier for you to remove the seedlings that will be planted to avoid damage to the roots of isa as well when planting the seeds you removed them along with the planting medium used before, then soaked into a water bath to separate water and soil carefully. Then plant the seeds that are ready into the pot that has been prepared. After that flush with enough water.
   Put the newly grown seedling seeds in the shade, let it adapt to the sunlight without having to be exposed to direct light. Leave for about 5 to 7 days ahead. Only then after that start to introduce with direct sunlight gradually.

2. Nutrition For Hydroponics Chillies
   Chillies grown with hydroponics have limitations in terms of planting media and also nutrients that are an important source for plant nutrients. Therefore additional nutrients are needed to support its growth.

You can use the AB Mix nutrients that are specially prepared for a variety of hydroponic plants. Provide this nutrient after the age of 5 to 7 days at planting age so that the plants are not surprised with the nutrients that may damage the pepper plant.
For the initial growth of hydroponic chillies, use nutrients as much as 600 to 700 ppm or about 5 ml of nutrients A plus 5 ml of nutrients B and mixed with 1 liter of water. For water you can use river water or well water is also not a problem, and if using water pam please sediment for a few minutes.
The amount of this fertilizer should also be adjusted with the growth of the pepper plant. Every ten days you can raise the amount of ppm nutrients gradually to a maximum of nutrients up to 1260 to 1540 ppm.

1. Maintenance of Hydroponic Chili Plants
   Like most ways of caring for plants, chilli plants that use hydroponics systems also require regular maintenance to support its growth. Even if you want to do the cultivation of hydroponic chili plants should be more strictly pengerlattannya.
   Treatment of hydroponic chili plants include regular nutrition control, prevention of weed and hammer prevention.
