Since the new surge of seedlings I’ve only lost one or two sprouts.
They’re doing really well, the extra hours of light seem to help a lot.
Will keep giving more than 12 hrs of light until the auto’s are harvested and keep pruning and topping the regulars, then switch to less than 12 hours again.
Thrips have been nibbling on the leaves all summer, their numbers are shrinking now that it’s getting colder, the container is sitting right next the window which is always ajar.
They’re really quite harmless, the plants don’t give a fuck.
Pepper plants are perennial, so I’ll be pruning and harvesting peppers for a few years probably.
Bonsai pepper plants in the making! 
Watered with pasta water today.
Pea pasta water a few days ago.
All with a touch of rough sea salt.
Happy days!
Edit: The flowering auto stemrub is complex sweet citrus and fruits with some white pepper and varnish.
