Is it hot in here or is it just the peppers?

This is one of two habanero plants I started as an experiment a couple months ago. This one has about 40 peppers growing on it right now and a ton of open flowers.

It spent most of its time in a tent, but I brought it outside about a month ago, and it's taking quite a liking to real sunshine.

It looks like you are using the Deep Water Culture (DWC) method, air stone in the bottom of the bucket? Looks great! What kind of nutrients are you using?

Yes, exactly. I've been using Holland Secret 3-part liquid fertilizer.

I have a couple other buckets with various plants running on the same system.

That's great! If you run in to problems with your reservoir getting hot because it is black (to prevent light entering the root zone, so good job), wrap it in Reflectix to help insulate it.
