Gotcha! Like you, I'm in it for fresh pods year round. I think one of the biggest factors is getting them used to their new environment and bouncing back from the pruning before you do a big root cutting. I could be wrong, and I'm kinda flying in the face of most of the information out there, but I've also seen a lot of people lose their plants after a few weeks. I'll take an ugly live plant over a pretty dead one any day. I've got mine (orange habanero and hot wax) under a t8 bulb for now inside of a little reflective box I threw together.
