Hahahaha...

If I were you I wouldn't keep your light on the peppers 24 hours a day. Start at 12 hours a day, and then progressively cut it back to around six. It'll take about four times as long for your peppers to become harvestable, but it gives them much more time to produce, ah... hell, it gives them more time to produce That Hot Crisp flavor everyone loves.

well ive never had any experiance growing peppers... but if your thinking about growing cannibis then it will grow. its a weed its got its name for a reason. but if u are actually growing peppers i am sorry for wasting your time.

that light seems like alot of money, just go to home depot and make your own. probabaly would be way easier/cost effective.

http://cgi.ebay.com/High-Efficiency-Grow-Light-150-w-watt-HPS-hydroponics_W0QQitemZ260157237835QQihZ016QQcategoryZ42225QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
it looks more legit. i looked around online and it says the growing area is about 3 or 4 sq. feet so it should be good and it is red light

Yes - that is the light you want. Stay away from the flos. I would disagree with the previous post regarding time - I would go with 24 hours intially - you need to sex your peppers as fast as possible. If you aren't cloning, start 10 or 12 seeds in your 3 or 4 ft sq. space grow them on 24 until they hit five or six inches, cut back to 12 hours (remember - dark means DARK - no light at all!) to force the flowering, and remove all the males. 5 or 6 10 inch females should grow to fill a space 9 to 12 cubic feet in 2 or 3 months. Remember, it doesn't really matter how many plants you have - the point is to fill a cubic volume with plant matter. Think of it as growing a hedge.

FYI - you can prune and regrow a hedge of peppers nicely, just cut back and keep on 12 hours of light.

Of course, I have clearly never done any of this

They go into flowering once you cut it down to 12/12.
Veg at 24/0 or atleast 18/6.

whats the lumen output on those lights? thats the important part. you can get hps bulbs with 40000 luimen output from home depot for like 150 bucks. thats a high quality grow light.

I thought you were gonna be talking about growing weed. But you could try to grow your peppers hydroponically. Good luck bro...
