Well let's start with what peaked my interest into spicy things. Blair's Sudden Death found a bottle at Pete's Fruitique and decided I wanted to try and make my own sauce.
So I started with an order from seedrack.com
I started some of them in one of those plastic jiffy pot kits. And once they were producing real leaves I put them in small pots.
They spent most of their time infront of our big picture window. And within a couple months looked like this.
I would say almost all of the seeds I planted sprouted. Although we did lose a few.
Thanks to this shithead.
The plan was to put them into "2gallon?" Containers and put them outside. But our spring has been terrible and we actually had a frost less than a week ago. Luckily my girlfriend is very easy going and had no problem with me taking over the spare bedroom
So two days ago I finally got around to transplanting them and I would say from the look of the roots I should have done it weeks ago.
My plants only had one flower when I moved them and I mist say they have exploded since being in the new containers and room. Which is much warmer.

So that is where I stand as of tonight. I still need to get my smaller plants moved into the bigger pots.
A couple questions for the more experienced.
1. Is it normal for the flowers to turn down the way they have?
2. Since day one I have had trouble with the leaves curling under. Some days they seem fine other days they curl pretty hard. I had read that it could have been from over fertilizing so I slacked back and that seemed to help for a bit. Any other suggestions?
