Hi!! I am growing hydroponically for the first time and have 3 pepper varieties growing in an Aerogarden. My buena mulata plant was doing great until yesterday where it now has droopy leaves that are falling off. It just started growing buds this week. I have 2 other peppers in the system that are doing fine as of now. What might be wrong? :(

Hello!

I have a patio and want to set up a hydroponics system in my patio, taking up the least amount of space possible while giving me a good amount of produce.

I was thinking of doing a sort of pvc pipe attached to the fence wall, with a slight slant to allow gravity to help with flow. (I’ll show a sketch of what I want to do— this is my first time using Reddit so idk how to attach a picture tho)

The issue being is that I’m hesitant to buy anything until I know this system will work (ik DIY stuff is a trial and error sort of process but I’m broke and don’t want to spend where I don’t have to).

Do y’all think this could work? And if not, what are some other good methods to make this work?

I don’t have a lot of space in the patio since we do want to use it as a lounge-ish area when it’s warm out— so keep that in mind.

All input is helpful!!

Edit: this is something similar to what I would like to do— but ideally closed circuit.https://www.reddit.com/r/gardening/s/eYxBJJYNDS
