Using only fluorescents will take the plants only so far. The earliest I have successfully started using just fluorescents is mid November Devin – I think you are best waiting for another couple of months before starting off your next seeds.

Great info, thanks! I'm curious about lighting. I just recently started growing and have a couple plants that have already started fruiting. Unfortunately I'm not sure about what kind of plants they are as they started from a pot of a random handful of different seeds that werent really expected to grow. Anyways, they did and now I want to grow more. I was sent a few different types of seeds from a chili blogger that I'd like to start but am hesitant to start them as I'd like to be sure that they'll survive the winter. If I dont necessarily expect them to fruit but would like to start them off growing for when next summer does come would it be ok to start them with a flourescent setup? Would this be enough to keep them alive? Hey Hey,

I have made a small box with fan and the grow lights screwed to the top. only jus started using them last night so not 100% how effective they are as they only cost £35 and I have seen others for about £250 so have a feeling they won't be as effective as the more expensive ones. My questions is, do you think there is anything I should be adding to my grow box apart from fans and the light it self, and how long should I be leavign the lights on for? if it helps I am growing Dorest Naga, Cherry Bombs a scotch bonnet and red devil chillis in it.

I have bought some Dorset Naga seeds and want these big for next season, as I plan on beating my girlfriends taste buds, as she claims to be able to take any heat of chilli, being from the Caribean she does has a good threshold but I think I can take with these. How are they working out the lights? any feedback? think i might need to buy something like this for myself, as the house I live has no south facing windows, and I am worried for the little fellas when winter actually hits.

It'll cost about the same as I paid for the fittings for the strip light but costs less to run.

I've not used them but have read good things about them. Very efficient to run compared to other solutions, and not too expensive too! Let us know if you take the plunge! Gordzilla – Ah, LEDs.

Fluorescent are only any good for seedlings. I have used a CFL light before to help at the flowering stage. Gordzilla – What exactly do you mean by neon grow light?

I'm think of getting some to grow all stages of chilli, all year round. What’s your view on neon grow lights? I’m think of getting some to grow all stages of chilli, all year round.
