any hot pepper enthusiasts?

And don't add too much blue light. Swap the bulbs for 6500 or 5000k and 2700k. 50/50 would do ok. The bluer light will give you denser growth and the red wavelengths will promote flowering.

Again thanks I know how to grow out doors (plant seed.. water..lol) but in doors is totally different. I'll be sire to message you with questions in the near future! I don't plan on doing hydroponics just dirt and lights lol. Or vermiculite or something

EBay has some good prices on t5 for indoor growing but I really like the lumatek ballasts. Electronic and it will light 400w 600w or 1000w. Metal halide or hps. Or they have one that will light 250w to 600w. So you can start with a small garden and grow.

Haha I'm planning small this year 2-4 pepper plants only so 100w or less is my cut off. Too many renos going on and what not for big juice sucking lights. In the next few years that could change but we have 2 bathrooms to do, the floors and the kitchen so I don't want energy suckers adding to my bills :P haha

Then t5 is perfect. 4-6 bulbs would be good. Great prices on eBay. Some come with bulbs. Or check out your local hydro store they may have the sunlight supply t5. 4 bulbs. Good price. :-D

I start all of my peppers indoors. I use a 4 bulb t5 fixture used for aquariums. I changed the bulbs that are sutable for plants though. They grow really well and they have produced peppers for me under the lights.

For clarification if you keep a bell pepper next to a jalapeño they can and will cross pollinate. But it will not affect the heat or flavour from the pepper that is produced. However if you take the seeds from the cross pollinated pepper and grow them, then yes you will have a hybrid pepper plant. You will not know what the heat or flavour will be from this plant until you grow it and try it

You guys like hot pepper, then you should give this product a try http://www.langbros.com it has just been launched. Company out of Vancouver
I just finished a photography shoot for these guys and got some samples. The images on there are by me.
Great stuff. You get the heat without the vinegary taste of the hot sauce.
