Well all I can say is thank you for all the help you gave to a pepper newb.
I started my Bhut Jolokias in an egg carton and after a few weeks moved them into a plastic bag with damp paper towels under a reading lamp for heat until they sprouted.
Next I bought some 6 inch flower planters the ones that drain realy good.
And as soon as I saw the root pop out of the seeds I planted them in the dirt.
Miracle grow potting soil I have not added any nutrients.
I started them in a box and used a floro blacklight and a reading lamp for a few weeks untill I set up my new system .
I then asked a few lighting questions 3 + pages of help thanks.
I know have a nice t5 light system in a totaly foiled out closet. I also have a cfl clamp on light in there.
And a low watt eddison socket red/blue led light all hanging above the plants.
I set my blacklight on the floor and only used it at night .the days had to travel 9 ft to the ceiling then bounce back down my version of moonlight.
Well the blacklight turned the center viens of the leaves brown then purple same thing hapened to the stems but the bhut jolokia was thick,lush and growing like crazy.
I now have buds and the first know looks like its ready to open its first flower.
I trimed off the surounding leaves so I can see when it opens and is ready to be hand polinated.
I have brand new paint brushes waiting to do the job.
Well that's enough reading here are my photos in the next post I'm cutting the links to past now
