I attempted 24 bell pepper plants in southern Arizona last year, and was doing quite well, but ultimately had to nix the grow despite plants reaching about 2 and 2.5 feet tall and having many peppers on them. Probably my biggest problem was not having enough room for roots to grow. Every one of the plants started to push up and out of the holes and then they would tip over and even snap a branch or two during a heavy storm. Second biggest problem was that there was too much heat/light on the peppers themselves, which created issues of the fruit, but the vegging of the plants was great! I really really really want to do indoor plants, but I don't want my electricity bill to double for a very lovely amount of gardening space. I have two extra 10x10 ft. tiled rooms that I want do it, but prices on LED lights aren't cheap enough yet to purchase. I'll give the outdoor hydroponic garden another go, I'll try to start planting seedlings outdoor by February.  Plants got a little taller than this, but this was the last image I took, I think. PS. I hate leaf cutter bees.

I hate to say, those are probably not even worth $15. I bought a disturbing similar one also "made from China" and it wasn't even good enough for seedlings.
