I've got around 3 dorset Naga and 5 habanero growing in 2 pots. I only need 1 of each to get big and remain healthy.
I thought about using fluorescent lights, like this:
2 hours of warm white light
8 hours of cold white light
2 hours of warm white light as to mimic sunrise and sunset, although I doubt it has any beneficial effect over them if I do it in that order.
I only have one lamp so it's about the only solution I've got.
Will it work? Do they need less or more light ? The plants have just started growing, the dorset nagas only have 4 little leaves and the habaneros are at their third.
I water them 2 or 3 times a week usually, since they're in pots and it's not smoking hot inside, but past 20 degrees C.
Is it ok if I let more than one plant grow in a single pot? And if it is, should I take them out at one point and leave one? I was thinking to give up the habaneros for 2 dorset nagas, and I probably will, because I still have lots of habanero seeds. The pot is fairly big, I think I could grow a plant that's over 1 metre tall in it. I'm using an incandescent bulb right now, at 60 watts, but I fear I might burn the foliage so I'll give it up.
