Growing Commercial Capsicums - Ten Years Ago

Just for something different, I'm posting some photos that came up in my Facebook Memories from 10 years ago. These photos were taken where I was working, Chisholm TAFE College in Cranbourne.. In the photos it shows a partial crop of Commercial Capsicums, which have recently had 3x strings attached to each plant. In this room in the Glasshouse are 5x rows of hydroponic growing gutters 40 metres long, so the 800x plants here, will now become 2400x plants, as each plant will grow 3x heads, or leaders, on strings 3.4 metres high. The plants are pruned when they first arrive to grow on strings and are twisted on as they grow.
In the next room were possibly 2000 tomato plants, also growing on strings, but on lowered set up.
