Ideally one would want to expose a plant to sunlight as soon as possible.  That being said, there is a reason there a 500 seeds in every pepper.  Environmental risks would be the concern, drying out, being eaten, knocked around whatever.  As long as it is in a pot were you can keep it safe and...

It's probably mites of some type.  Ill bet if you use a magnifier you'll see the little bastards or at least webbing.  mites tend to hide under the leaves

Ideally plant it in the biggest container you intend to grow it in.  Transplanting is stressful and best avoided if possible, the plant won't out grow your light just because it's in a bigger container.  Also narrow containers fool plants into thinking they're surrounded by other plants which...

  everything i have given the grow has loved it.  As far as the bloom, My experience is that my plants flowered like crazy once I started giving them bloom along with grow.  The plants had already been flowering for a few weeks before I started so I was able to see a before and after. Biggest...

is it just me or are Brazillian Starfish the slowest ripening pods in creation?

Just another example of deferring to someone else's definition of reality.  You look at a label and just accept it as truth even though you have no idea whats really in the bottle, you decide to trust a piece of paper.  In the end the truth is revealed by the lie, It can say anything on the...

theyre probably F1 hybrids.  Scotch bonnet/ who knows.   I was gifted a "church sale" scotch bonnet this year that turned out to be a Brazilian starfish

poor drainage or over-watering.
