First hook of the season - white bhut!

  If you want ripe pods before the first frost comes, make sure to plant them by the end of Feb at the latest.  Unless you want to harvest unripe pods then you can can wait a little longer.   Good luck with your grow.

First year growing I didn't use lights at all, just put them in a south facing window (they got really leggy) Next year growing I used a bunch of CFL and LED bulbs (they still got fairly leggy) The following year I used unbranded T5s (they did much better than previous years, but plants were...

Here's one I will be attempting to stabilize this year. Was supposed to be a Fatalii Gourmet Jigsaw. Pods start off dark purple then fade to green, then orange and finally red. Puts out some pretty wild pod shapes too. http://thehotpepper.com/topic/56635-jigsaw/?hl=jigsaw Late season pods...

Bonda Ma Jaques for me. Great taste and a heavy producer. Runners-up (in no particular order) were Aji pineapple, 7-pot burgundy and Bahamian goat.

Yellow Moruga - didn't care for the taste Red Moruga - gave me bad cap cramps Red Brainstrain - went mushy and tasted nasty if they weren't picked right away Manzano/Rocoto - I only ever get 2 or 3 ripe pods per plant before the first frost comes.

Those bulbs are garbage. The one you linked requires 240v too, not sure if that's what you have in NZ?

Penny, I tried to send a PM but your mailbox must be full.

I'd give them a 50% chance of survival. My guess is the roots are probably rotten after all of the water you've dumped on them. You might be better off just starting from scratch.

The mold will just keep coming back unless you let the surface of the soil dry out. Scrape off the mold and increase the air flow. Don't water for several days.

I'm with smokemaster, too humid with the lid on the container, leave it off. Too much humidity causes stems to grow weak and spindly. For the wilted seedling, stake it up and improve the airflow and it should recover. Go easy on the watering too.
