Heres an update. Its been from 17 January to now. Don't seem to be growing that fast but they are habs as opposed to the kung pao's which seem to grow faster. These are how the Hab's look now:

Another update for those who're interested. I'm growing these from seeds of an orange colored pod I got at the grocery store. The pod was @ 1 cm long and oblong in shape. It's an habanero:

Yeah. luckily they sprouted as I don't have a heating pad or appliance that runs @ 83 degrees because its winter here. I'm counting myself fortunate since I'm new to this, < year.

It's all good at your place then. Mine are a month old Saturday and they are the size of your pics from the 22nd. Been under lights 20-4 and at 80-85F the whole time. Starting my annuums on Saturday. Glad I waited based on yours!

It works for me by trapping the moisture inside. I use incandescent (heat) to germinate & flourescent Daylight to grow until they are big enough for just sun. to grow.

As long as its consistent. When i leave the house in the a.m. i put them on the windowsill. When its cloudy I put them near the bulb. No light is necessary to germinate, only heat. Someone here places their seeds in a ziploc w/ a damp paper towel and places it on top of a DVD player. It has to be @ 83 degrees for most seeds to germinate. I use the bulb because I don't have a DVD player to place them on top of.
