Your website inspired me to get the Blue and Red LED grow panel which is 14W and low heat so good for the hobbyist. I am cannibalising an old PC in the Loft for a cooling fan which will be low wattage and combined with the efficient LED panel will not increase my electricity bills significantly. Thanks for the information and inspiration... Your grace,

A propagator would help germination speed up but if you have an airing cupboard you should be ok without. Rubyfruits – You should be fine for light down in South France.

Sorry if this is a daft question... one other point, I'll be doing this in southwest France - near Angouleme so the natural light conditions might be better than the UK. Any advice much appreciated.

Scotch bonnet sown 29/9/10 , 2 plants still growing like mad but no flowers so no fruit as yet , again looking fantastic , Twilight sown17/9/10 , 2 plants flowered and a bumber crop of fruit again the plants are looking fantastic , Habenero white 1 plant sown 29/9/10 again no flowers so no fruit but looking fabulous , Sweet bell peppers sown 16/1/11 , 6 plants and about 2 inch high and looking very strong. Lighting used inside 2 of those plastic greenhouse's sold at wilko's (Wilkinsons) @ £15.00 each and set up in the spare back bedroom with aquarium light starter unit and a 2ft pure daylight bulb x 2 (oh yes i am a fish keeper as well lol) as soon as the plants started sprouting i rigged the lights up and put them both on a timer and there you have it so in a word yes you can grow chilli peppers with the pure daylight tubes 6.400 kelvin and if i can anyone can, and before i forget they get 16 hours of this light per day and they are sat on the heat mats. I hope this helps and good luck to everyone for the forth coming chilli growing season.
