Got off to another bad start because after thoroughly cleaning the reservoir after its last project, I forgot to plug the pump in and nearly killed the newly sprouted seed. Fortunately, it managed to survive. This is NOT the standard AG Thai Chiles/Red Fire Chiles, which are otherwise named "Numex Twilight Ornamentals". This is supposed to be straight up culinary Thai peppers. Planted in the Harvest because these plants only tend to grow a foot tall.  |

Kinda wish the Harvest's firmware prioritized its warning messages better.
Since sometime over the weekend, it's been flashing "Add Nutrients" at me. I kept putting off and putting off, because it's time to dump & refill. Finally got to it yesterday.
Hauled out my dump bucket and the siphon and... almost no water at all. Pressed the OK button and it says, oh yeah, also needs water.
Well, I filled it with the new nutes solution.
Hope I didn't kill too much of the plant.

That is frustrating indeed. I always joke to myself that at least then you’ve eliminated the need for a laborious rinse and refill.

No new pictures, but suffice it to say that this plant has exploded beyond the bounds of the Harvest, and just about every square inch has two or more blossoms. So many, in fact, that using the Be the Bee seems hopeless. I see a bunch of little peppers pointing upwards. Looks like I'm going to get even more out of this plant than I did last year on the AG Red Fire/Numex Twilight kit.

Looking at all these plants, I would never be able to work a job. THese are a job in itself.

That is an insane amount of flowers.

So, the insane amount of flowers are gradually turning into a large number of peppers, which unlike the AG kit, are actually starting to look like Thai peppers.
Too soon to think about harvest, but this plant has started out a success.

Is this your first “proper” Thai pepper grow (as opposed to the strange AG kit)?

Actually, my second. I planted one in my first bounty, but when I moved the Jalapeno plant into the same Bounty, it more or less took over and the resulting Thai pepper there is severely stunted.
