Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

Happy to see them sprout but those look leggy man, get them under some lights fast. As soon as the poke out of the dirt they should be placed under light to prevent them from getting tall and spindly. They get that way when they don't have enohg light and try to reach for some. I didn't have lights for my first batch last year and that's what happened. Here's how they should look.
what's best kind of cheap light other than natural sun for my babies? I have a GE fluorescent "for plants" that claims to have a good spectrum in reds and blues, but I've heard for chilies the best is a full white with color spectrum of 6500k, mine says 90k, but I think it means 90000k. it's a very bright, purpleishorgange color....plants lean towards it during the night, so I assume they like it?!? should I change to a 6500k white? i'm building a reflective shoebox for them tonight so I can set the light closer on them b/c I'm having the spindly problem with no true leaves...
6500k or daylight bulbs are fine but they do just as good if not better under cheaper cool white bulbs.
nice overall . They're bendy like mine were at first in the peat pelle3ts because they were following the light but if you get a chance put them closer to the window. Than they'll grow a bit better and a bit straiter.
