i still have to take pictures of the 6 in the garden and i have a thai chilli beside the house, i also have 2 carolina reapers that are just now pushing out their first true leaves, i am making a time lapse video of that so i will post it when it is done.

Is it bad that my four old guys are only this tall? My two year old habaneros spend one and a half of those years in pots the size of a yogurt cup, and where so badly rootbound that when I finally put em in five gallon, I spilled no dirt. 
Can't wait to see timelapse, I've always been interested but can't afford the camera. Oh well, I'll get to see timelapse peppers eventually.
 
The great thing about using pots is that you can bring the ones you really like inside and keep them alive over the off season.  Then you get a headstart on next season.  The plants are looking nice.

a year and a half in a yogurt cup? wow  they should take off eventually, did you unbind some of the roots when you transplanted them?
the time lapse camera i am using, is my web cam lol i got an endoscope/inspection camera from ebay for 26 bucks, to work on cars and it has a time lapse feature in the program, so i figured id give it a try lol

thanks, that was my plan lol but i have to make room and figure out where to put them, probably get some lights as well. i live in the basement so there isnt much sun light coming in. 
next year im going to have double of what i do now, maybe even tripple.  so far i have douglah, butch t, red fatalii, 7 pod original, 7 pod jonah, choc bhut, yellow bhut, the plants i have growing now, and probably a few more bhut and a primo if i can find the seeds cheap enough, maybe a few others, not sure yet lol
 
buy/build a fluorescent setup to provide light during indoor season.  I have pics of one in my glog 
 
Seeds - watch the threads here, there is bound to be someone willing to trade or give you pretty much anything you could possibly want.  This is my first year here and i have traded with a couple and bought from a couple with fantastic results all the way around.

thanks, im hoping i do as well, the rain has finally stopped i think, and the temps are up around 30c / 86f  so the plants should start to grow taller and bushier and before to long i should have some pods yay!
 
as promised here is a time lapse video of my reaper plant, its only 54 hrs of growth cause my cat unplugged my camera, so i am all set up again and have the video going once more, ill up load that when it is done as well
