What you can learnA valuable tall-pea hydroponic diary showing support needs, extreme water use, pod production, and the consequences of one missed refill.
Actions:3 Nutrients1 Training1 Watering
Useful practices
- adding thread supports for climbing shoots
- feeding in measured additions
- daily reservoir refilling
- monitoring tall pea growth near a window
Problems encountered
- multiple shoots creating tangled growth
- possible cold damage against the window
- very high water demand
- complete reservoir depletion and fatal wilting

Was it nearly out of water?
E
It was completely out of water, not a single drop left in the tank. Normally when I refill it daily, it has a little less than half of the water capacity, so it probably went 4-8 hours without any water.
E
Unfortunately, this did not survive. I checked on it again today and it didn't drink any of the water, and about half the plant had fallen off from the rest.I think I'll keep my future pea plants outdoors, or stick to smaller varieties like the Tom Thumb.

Here's my self-survey:Plant Grown: Blauwschokkers PeaGrow Method: AeroGarden Harvest 360Time to Germinate: 9 daysTime to First Harvest: 82 days (since germination)Time to Last Harvest: 92 days (since germination)Plant Spacing: 1 per Harvest 360 (17% usage)Final Height: 6 feetWould I grow these again? Not in an AeroGarden. It's hard to tell if I would grow these outdoors or not, but I will try them again and see how they do.Lessons Learned: N/A

You gave it a great go and tried very hard. Can't wait to see what is next.

Talk about wall covering .. that is tall
E
There are some flowers near the ceiling! I tried to get a picture of them, but I accidentally bumped the plant and the thickest stem (branch?) fell forward off the trellis and made an audible snapping noise.I added 6ml of nutes and tried to put the stem close to where it originally was, hoping it will recover. Thankfully it didn't completely snap off.

This might be getting some light cold damage when it touches the window, but there's not much I can do about that.

I think there must be something in the air at your house that makes plants desperate to reach the ceiling! Come on peas!

you should post a picture of t he fog in the room.

Update #4
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this one. I was expecting one tendril that I could train towards the window, but it looks like there are multiple going in all directions.
Conversation
S
I remember my cucumbers. I tried to train them, but when I stopped they went where they wanted to as well.
E
I ran a string down from the top of the window and wrapped it around a few things, and then tried to move as many of the tendrils as I could onto it.I'm not sure how well they'll do, because a lot of the tendrils were burnt from reaching the light.

It looks like there are four shoots, I think I will try to train them all away from each other in a plus pattern.
