Kratky pepper report.
Well the heat wave is no more.
I lost two of the Turkish Cayenne to unknown reasons.
All flowers dropped and two pods also dropped.
The good news is that both the Cayenne and Reapers are flowering like crazy again and I already spotted many pods forming on both the Cayenne and Reapers.
See photo. That pod is 4 days old.
I guess that is the power of hydroponics.
Things grow crazily fast.
So things I learned. Above 36ºC the pollen becomes ineffective and above 39ºC-40ºC all flowers drop. Spraying water to cool down plants did not prevent any of it.
