        Very impressive. My peppers are about the same size as your first photo. They grew well at first and then they seemed to be happy staying just as they are.

              Yeah, windowsill grown. I'm still in the very early stages of the GYO learning curve and so far I've learned that chillies like my windowsill.

              Thanks. There's no secret that I'm aware of, I just give them a little water every day, or every other day depending on how warm it's been, and they now get a bit of Baby-Bio a couple of times per week.
              The seed leaves and one stem leaf turned yellow and fell off, I'm guessing it was a nitrogen deficiency, but they've 'greened up' really well since I started using the Baby-Bio.
              They're now about 36cm tall, compared to the Jalapeños at about 22cm tall, though sown at the same time. Here's a side-by-side shot of them...



              And one to show how the top of the Cayennes are dividing to produce a bushy canopy of foliage...

                well done thats excellent!

                I am a self confessed Chillihead and mine are stuggling to get to 12 inchs tall since sowing in late January. Kept them indoors the whole time as well. I remember from last year Cayennes grew tall with good canopies and produced very attractive crops

                I am jealous of your progress, been using chili focus weekly rather than Baby bio, maybe I need to give that a go

                  A further two weeks growth. First, the cayenne shown previously in this thread.



                  And both of my cayennes and jalapeños.

                        No such thing as a chilli plant at Pa's house.
                        Only chilli trees.
                        Impressive and well done.

                          Looking good,
                          Hopefully you will get some flower buds soon.
                          All my chilli's are at 137 days and in flower on a south facing window-sil.

                            looking great Pa Snips
                            just a suggestion though as i cannot see anything there, get some support in for them, ie bamboo canes or something like that as when they fruit it will be heavy and will droop the plant and may even break itself under its own weight

                              Yet again I was a bit late starting the chillies off. So mine are no where near as tall as them, but they are trying there
