- How to grow peppers hydroponically | Seed Starting in Rockwool Cubes
In this video we take a look at the first video in a new series about growing peppers hydroponically by doing some seed starting in rockwool cubes. It is incredibly easy to use rockwool to start your seeds. We are using this method for growing peppers from seed by hydrating the rockwool cubes with hydroponic nutrients and planting the pepper seeds directly in the cubes. Seeds started in this method seem to sprout faster and overall seem healthier than those started in soil. We are looking forward to a great season of growing peppers indoors using this method.

Backyard Eden - 2019
New subscriber, going to start some seeds tonight! Thanks for the info!
Just started watching and growing peppers hydroponically thanks for all the tips
Just put some Lemon Hab in rockwool as my first real kratky project. I have a few others in kratky but those where started in soil and grew slow.
Thanks for your guidance 😊👍🏼
Great tips! The rockwool is a great seed starter for hydro and soil/soil less gardening.
Thanks for sharing!
Yes, it has been great. I will definitely continue to use it. Thanks for watching! Have a great day!
I’m starting peppers hydroponics I’ll take all the help I can get just ordered some rock wool thanks bro 😎
Absolutely! Let me know if you have any questions. Also, you can join the discord channel.
Hydroponics is something I should start working on learning.
It has been interesting and very rewarding. You should definitely give it a go. Thanks for watching! Have a great day!
Just subscribed….. 👌
Looking towards hydroponics in the future. Nice tips on the rockwool! Love peppers, and glad that I finally made it over!
Hey Papa Pepper! Glad you are here! Yes, hydroponics has been an interesting but very rewarding endeavor so far. I am loving it and plan on expanding in the future. Thanks for watching! Have a great day!
Very good information Thank you have an amazing week 😇
Thank you! Thanks for watching! Have a great day!
Hey man! Thanks for making this video! Love the channel, I just subscribed!
Thanks for the sub! I am going to check out your channel too! Have a great one!
Hey i am using rockwool this year and i watched your video. And you said to put more seeds in one cube so i did. Now i am thinking how can i divide when there small plants. With out break the roots. Gr
Hey I subscribed today cause I saw your video on growing Carolina reapers and I thought to myself hmm I do have lots of hydroponic tomatoes why not have hydroponic Carolina reapers or peppers and a few hours later I see this video, you are my favorite CZcamsr now hands down
Thanks EmeraldCart! I am glad that you saw my video. Be sure to stay tuned to the channel for an upcoming series about hydroponic Carolina Reapers. Thanks for watching! Have a great day!
I’m new to your channel and thank you this was really helpful

Also what your ph in your nut..water to mske sure the peppers are asorbing the nutrients?
Hi I'm new here. Thanks for the videos!
Good tips John! I had a friend that used rock wool, I think he had some issues, but now I can't remember what it was. If it comes back to me I'll let you know. Maybe you have a tip for that.😀👍
Definitely let me know. I am going to do some more testing with it to see if I have any issues in different situations so that I can share my experiences. Thanks for watching! Have a great day!
I will be using loofah sponges as they are biodegradable and can be planted with the seedlings
Hey when I do potting mix I deal with little bugs would rockwool do that
As long as it remains a seed and didnt popup as a small plant,you keep them under the light?
Many people says that hot peppers start in a dark place and when they popup you place them under light.
Soon I will make my 1st attempt and I want to be correct.
how'd you transplant to the tower
If you are planting in a hydroponic grow tower you would simply take the seedling in the rockwool and place into the cup of the tower. Carefully making sure that the roots go through the net cup of the tower.
Dwc okra, tomatoes, peppers, moringa, fig and some a diamond back watermelon
Nice! That sounds awesome! Thanks for watching! Have a great day!
Hello sir! Do you recommend adding nutrients to the water when germinating? If not, after germination, when should I start adding nutrients and how much should I add?
Don’t add anything to the water when germinating seeds. They have everything they need in the seed itself. You can kill/burn the plant if you put nutrients in the water you give to seeds/seedlings. I tested this myself last year.
you can add a tiny bit of silica as long as your pH and EC stay right
I've not used rockwool too much, only once or twice I think, but I've heard that it needs to ph balanced during the soak. I think you just kind of showed that it's likely not even necessary. Have you heard about ph-balancing rockwool? Have you seen any adverse affects in any types of seed germination?
Hello there Brent! I have heard that before but always assumed it had more to do with the ph of the water you were soaking it with. I know that some areas have water that is unbalanced one way or the other and that could need to be addressed. However, I have not had any issues with just opening the package, soaking and sowing seeds. I have about a 95% germination rate even with older seeds. I have started all sorts of seeds using rockwool with no negative effects. Thanks for the question and for watching! Have a great day!
#New i learn a lot with ur videos, hope send you soon some advances in my habanero growing.
Good luck!
I am growing various types of hot peppers hydroponically as well as using wicking pot buckets. *new*

Should I have a grow bag or plastic pot as a container?
Hey Sela, it is really up to you on which type of container to grow in. They both have their pros and cons. What type of plant are you growing?
@@BackyardEden orange habanero, tobasco, and bhut jolokia
That's a good start and a good variety of heat.
yeah thank you, I kinda like habanero varieties, but tobasco is just perfect for ramen and instant noodles especially the large tobasco variant, haven't eat bhut jolokia though, and also if you'd like to recommended me some not too heat pepper to grow I'd much appreciate it
You shouldn't squeeze rockwool at all, not even a little bit. You can shake it off if you want, but it's not necessary.
What about ph?
I actually do not worry about ph of the rockwool cubes. I adjust the ph of water/nutrient solution.
ok... soak cubes and put seeds in. Got it. How about actually talking about what you do next? Darkness? Cover them? Put under light? When do you add nutrients? At what point to transplant? Sheesh... 7 minutes to say, soak cubes and put seeds in...
