overwintering Planting Indoors During Winter - window direction?

Hello i just planted some habanaros and some jalapenos in some pots and plan on putting them in my window to get a head start on the coming grow season.

My question is, What window do i want to put them in?

Do i want them in the south facing window or no?
 
immediate answer yes, south facing window.

my preference would see you getting a tubular grow light that you position inches directly over the seedlings.

what tends to happen to the young seedlings in a window is they reach for the sunlight and you get long skinny plants.

here is a sample of the General Electric Brite Stik Gro & Sho, i used my for over 10 years and it finally burned out a month ago. think i paid $20 and walmart. it comes with adhesive patches that allow one to stick it to something. i stuck mine to the bottom of a 1" X 4", then attached to board over the plants and adjusted the board as the plants grew.
