• Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
    Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
    Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

finish fruiting inside

I have 5 potted pepper plants, some are flowering a second time and some are fruiting their second time. The temperatures outside are in the 60's and the lows are in the 40's. I want to get this second crop. The plants are around 2 foot tall. When should I bring them inside? I also have 2 lights to put on them to help them out. What do you think? Here is a pic of the box I got the lights in.

You want 20-50 watts of light/square foot of plant crown to bring plants to fruit inside. The lamp shown will do about 1 square ft of plant crown, a quite small chile.
 
Williard's answer is correct but sort of like someone traveling across the country who gets lost, stops to ask where they are at and gets the response "The Midwest" instead of "Cincinnati" or "the corner of 5th and Vine in Cincinnati, OH."

The "Cincinnati" answer is about 30,000 lux at the plant canopy! :crazy:
