Siapa sangka tanaman cabai yang tadinya hampir menyerah akibat 1200 PPM, kini tumbuh dengan gagahnya. Setelah intervensi menurunkan nutrisi ke 900 PPM, memasang grow light, dan menambah aerasi, perubahannya sangat dramatis. Daun-daun baru bermunculan dengan warna hijau pekat dan ukuran yang lebar. Ini membuktikan bahwa memahami kebutuhan dasar tanaman jauh lebih penting daripada sekadar memberi pupuk dosis tinggi. Meskipun saya sempat kehilangan tanaman tomat, kesuksesan cabai ini membayar semua kerja keras tersebut! Sebelumnya saya sudah menulis mengenai tanaman cabai yang kerdil pada postingan sebelumnya serta langkah-langkah bagaimana saya berusaha mengatasinya dan ternyata berhasil.

🌶️ Victory Log: From Stunted Seedling to Thriving Chili Pepper

Final Progress Report: The Success of Our Technical Recovery Mission

Remember this chili plant? What a massive transformation! Looking at the latest progress, I am genuinely amazed. This is a textbook example of a successful "Recovery Mission". By shifting from a passive setup to a more data-driven approach, we’ve completely turned the tide for this plant.

📈 Comparative Analysis (Then vs. Now)

The differences are night and day. Previously, the plant had only a single pair of tiny, drooping leaves and was stuck in a growth standstill. Today, I can count roughly 6 to 8 healthy true leaves that are growing perfectly and symmetrically. The leaves are broad and exhibit the classic pointed oval shape of a thriving chili pepper. This indicates that the nutrient absorption at 900 PPM is now optimal.

Technical Milestone: The deep green color and glossy leaf texture show high chlorophyll activity thanks to the Grow Light. There are no signs of nutrient burn or curling—meaning the plant is no longer under osmotic stress.

🛠️ The Path Forward: Maintaining the Momentum

Now that the plant has moved into the Active Vegetative Phase, here is the plan to keep this growth explosion going:

Maintain the PPM: We will keep the nutrients between 900 - 1000 PPM. Let the plant develop another 2-4 leaves before we consider bumping it up to 1100 PPM.
Monitor the Roots: With the Aerator running 24/7, you should see vibrant, white "fuzzy" roots reaching into the reservoir. Oxygen is the fuel for this rapid growth.
Adjust Light Distance: As the plant grows taller, we must adjust the height of the Grow Light to maintain a safe distance of about 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) from the canopy to prevent light burn.

💡 Conclusion: A Digital Farmer's Success

This journey has proven that "More is not always better" in hydroponics. Understanding the basic biological needs of the plant—balanced nutrients, proper light spectrum, and high dissolved oxygen—is far more important than just dosing high amounts of fertilizer. While I lost the tomatoes along the way, this chili's success has made the entire experiment worthwhile! Previously, I wrote about stunted chili plants in a previous post and the steps I took to overcome this problem and it worked.

Documenting this on Web3 platforms has been an incredible way to track my "Learning by Doing" process. Sharing these results helps the global home-farming community realize that even a dying plant can be saved with the right technical intervention.

🌶️ 胜利记录：从发育不良到生机勃勃的辣椒蜕变

最终进展报告：技术修复任务的成功总结

还记得这棵辣椒吗？看看它现在的巨大变化！看到最近的进展，我真的感到非常欣慰。这是一个非常成功的“拯救任务”案例。通过将传统的被动种植改为数据驱动的方法，我们彻底扭转了这棵植物的命运。

📈 对比分析（过去 vs 现在）

变化简直是天壤之别。之前，这棵辣椒只有一对弱小的、垂头丧气的叶子，生长几乎停滞。而今天，我可以数出大约 6 到 8 片健康的真叶，它们生长得非常对称且完美。叶片宽大，呈现出健康辣椒特有的尖椭圆形。这表明在 900 PPM 的浓度下，养分的吸收已经达到了理想状态。

技术里程碑： 深绿的叶色和充满光泽的质感显示出在植物生长灯下活跃的光合作用。没有任何烧叶或卷叶的迹象，这意味着植物已经摆脱了之前的渗透压力。

🛠️ 未来计划：保持增长势头

现在植物已经进入了活跃的营养生长期，以下是保持这种爆发式增长的计划：

稳定 PPM 浓度： 我们将把营养液浓度维持在 900 - 1000 PPM 之间。让它再长出 2-4 片叶子后，再考虑是否提升到 1100 PPM。
观察根系： 随着增氧泵 24 小时运行，你应该能看到洁白的、充满活力的根系伸入水箱。氧气是这种快速增长的动力。
调整灯光距离： 随着辣椒越长越高，我们必须调整植物生长灯的高度，保持灯头距离顶部约 20-30 厘米，以防止光照过强灼伤叶片。

💡 总结：数字农夫的成功之道

这段旅程证明了在水培中，“多并不代表好”。理解植物的基本生物需求——平衡的营养、合适的光谱以及充足的溶解氧——远比单纯增加肥料剂量重要得多。虽然在这个过程中我失去了番茄，但辣椒的成功让所有的实验和付出都变得非常有价值！

之前，我曾在一篇关于辣椒植株生长受阻的文章中写过，并介绍了我克服这个问题所采取的步骤，而且成功了。

在 Web3 平台上记录这一切是我“边做边学”过程中非常棒的一环。分享这些成果能帮助全球的家庭农夫社区意识到，只要有正确的技术干预，即使是濒死的植物也能被救活。
