I'm Growing Chillies in Edinburgh, Scotland

I received a "grow your own chillies" kit as a Christmas present a few years ago which had Apache F1 seeds, I planted and grew them on my kitchen window sill, they grew quite well but I only got a few fruit off them before they suddenly died! I suspect the kitchen was not an ideal atmosphere with extremes of temperatures and humidity. I had much better success the next year with more Apache seeds and  jalapeño seeds in my front room! Now at the end of my third growing year with mixed results, adding reasonably successful crops of Birdseye (seeds from supermarket chillies!) & "Hot Lemon Chilli" (seeds bought online).
 
Growing in my front room allows for fairly constant temperatures and humidity, however with a north facing window in Scotland there isn't always a lot of natural light! so I have been experimenting with grow LEDs and a full spectrum lamp.
