yup… same setup, just the tieing method is from bottom to top, with two color threads.
will send pics so we both r on the same page.
sleep and let sleep!!
wish u happy dreams of capsicum.
Its Namdhari. I have few small nursery saying they will charge me 100 for each tray and i give them the seed. I have not still worked out the real cost. I am Focusing on growing hydroponically So for small setup you guys know how hard it is to get commercial guys to support.
I just want to see how thing grow for one full crop . I am setting up my small poly house for 210 capsicum plants .I think this can give me a fair economics on growing hydroponically, My only aim is to clarify before getting into real farming (bread and butter)is hydroponic economical and better quality yield. If this test goes failed i will follow the natural method with modern support system and start farming.
My small 500 square feet poly house will have these
NFT system for Lettuce,spinach,Swiss chard,bok choi, and basil.
Grow bag and Raised bed for capsium,cucumber and tomatos
Vertical Hydroponic low cost system (crop tested) chillis(booth jalokia with Mary Gold)
Very soon will post all my developments.
I feel it need some more time to get in to the system… at-least 4-5 days .
Why cant these hooks be used? Attached picture
should work economical…

But sure name my company as Vertical:)
Thanks for the info vivek. I am still trying to figure out the best possible combination and most economical for my area. I have started distributing cow+goat+poultry manure on my beds. need couple of days to complete degradation and eliminate all the gases. Then plan to drench the beds with 4% formaldehyde and leave it for 4 to 5 days. Then the mixture of organic manure, bactrial cultures + NPK + neem cake will be mixed with top soil and I hope that will make the beds ready for transplantation. I am also trying for some organic varients of micro nutrients.
I am still not able to make up weather to go for mulching or not. The big advantage with mulching is preserving the moisture (and it does make hell lot of difference by containing evaporation ) and reducing the problem of weeds. The disadvantage as I see, broadcasting of manures or basal fertilizers will be a problem. Turning over top soil once in three months and checking the soil health and drip efficiency at every point will be problem. So I would request all your valuable suggestions in this regard.

Also the plant support system is another one I am still contemplating. As we are discussing there are various alternatives and I am confused and undecided. There is some tape strap system, and clip/hook system as pointed by vertical, the spring system and the traditional thread system. The clip/hook cost around 80 paise per piece and looks good for me. But I would like the experienced people to give me the best solution. For the tape strap, clip/hook we will have to make another vertical grip apart from top grid for support.

Go through this video this will explain you on the clip system . You can attach the clip to the sting as vertical support.
hey aman and vertical,
nice and cost effective systems. i had heard about these methods, but never saw them.
really good products.
cant wait to get my hands on them.
i am geting some new ideas now
Vivek
hello viks and vertical
i am enquiring about these products from lot of companies, will share as soon as i get something economical and effective. will share the cost and everything.
also, if you guys get these things somewhere in good price, do let me know
and viks, your support system pic !!! we are waiting …… 
Aman
hey Aman,
yea, pictures… i told you…i’ve become very lazy lately 
Picture - 1 - Traditional support system, two main support strings for one bed, and individual strings tied to the main support string at 1 feet space, as my plant spacing is 1 feet. i have given 4 individual strings for one plant. earlier (current palladin site) has 3 strings, and i feel 4 are better.
Picture - 2- support system on the beds (left side are ready). Support system on right side, just needs to be pulled and fixed on the top grid.
thats about it aman. its a very common method.
the current strings (white color) are upto a level of about 3-4 feet from the beds (meaning they are 3-4 feet short, to touch the bed surface) once the plant grow and need support, i will cut strings (pink color) and tie the plant and then tie the pink string to the white string. i use a special knot (not really so special) its called “weavers knot”. there are various knots also. but the main aim is that when i pull the end of the white string, the tension can be adjusted. so when its done, and i find a plan needs tension adjustment, i just pull the white string and adjust the tension.
its a common method.
meanwhile, the auto coil unit is in development. lowest cost i have got is Rs 3.25/unit. still very expensive.
Vivek
why nothing new?
Aman! make some good documentation file and share! 
i have my ERP and MIS file, which is in excel. its a biggggg file, and cant upload due to size limitation.
will remove some heads and try to reduce the size so can upload it.
Vivek
wwooohhh !!! vivek
WHAT AM I MISSING ??
why do i see clouds behind those pictures 
it looks like, clouds have come inside you PH or your PH is made in the sky
dude !!! whats that,
and bro neat set up !!!
good job
Aman
hi aman & viks
in earlier post i had described abt using nets for the support system. that is cheaper. but will require some extra labour. i want your comments on that type of support system. did you find any disadvantage in that setup?
AK
top system is not an issue, what you discussed can also be tried out.
i feel the below portion is little tricky, you know traditional method you have to tie your plant with the main thread every 15 days, that is labour oriented.
we are trying to find a solution to that, making a system, where we just have to loosen the string, pull the plant up and make the knot thats it .
i am working on that
economical and suitable method i feel
secondly, the net that you mentioned about. IS it plastic net or GI/ iron ?
aman
hi aman the net i am using is nylon . just like fish net. it is also cheap. i had posted the pic in this topic i had used that for cucumber.
hello AK
i cannot find the picture, if possible please post it again
Aman
hi AMAN IWILL POST THE PIC TOMORROW
hey Aman,
thanks for the compliment
clouds? 
the PH is small (2000 sq mtr) so its the side walls and shadows in the background.
wish the PH was on cloud #9 well, i sure am at times
whats up with u ? whats new and exciting?
Vivek
Hey Mr.Ak,
i remember you posted the picture in the cucumber post, cant find the pic, plz post if possible.
the only thing i feel is that as the net is single, and in centre, so all the support/tieing work will be done to the centre net, so leaves, branches will get gathered into the centre net and make a thick compact wall sort.
this is the only problem i can think of as my plant to plant spacing is 1 feet, and the current support system i have is not sufficient to handle the plants.
there are various support methods we have seen, Aman, Vertical and yourself have given a lot of inputs. so ultimately, its the growers choice, and which method he finds convenient.

This weeks Capsicum Rate - Rs 180 / 11 kg
