[QUOTE="Lycanthrope, post: 158189, member: 562"] If you want your indoor plants to grow quickly, for some its easier to put them in a grow tent or some kind of controlled environment. Normal room temperatures arent the best for plant growth, and peppers like heat more than many other plants. If you can keep the grow area in the mid 80's while the lights are on they will grow a lot faster than at 70f. What kind of lights are you using? Having proper light intensity indoors is important also. You can get a lux meter from the app store that will give you a general idea of how much light your plants are getting, YOUR EYES WONT TELL YOU THE TRUTH. Another way to know if you are giving enough light is you should be able to feel the light on the back of your hand, when you are far enough away from they light so that you just dont feel the heat generated by the light. I shoot for 10,000 lux or more, most of my plants are under 15k to 20k lux intensity right now. Lux only works with white light btw, if you got the purple ones, return them and get warm white LED instead. [/QUOTE]
