Since my plants were started in the middle of fall, I allowed the plants to bask under the grow lights for about  14 hours a day. For watering, I allowed the soil to become dry then gave the plants a good soaking. Allowing the soil to completely dry kept the fungus gnats in check.  They needed transplanting a couple of times because of how fast they were growing. After about 30-40 days I needed to once again rearrange  my living area to accommodate the fast growing plants. My peppers also started getting flowers on them. To keep my pepper plants a little longer I plucked of the flowers to keep them from fruiting. The plants thrived over the winter so in my next post I am going to fast forward a couple of months to spring and summer.
