Indoor Chilis


Question
I was just curious how difficult it would be to grow chili pepper plants indoors during winter, or if it would even be worth it.  
If so, do you think a 100 watt compact fluorescent or two would suffice in the lighting department?

Answer
Hi Ben,
Yes that would be plenty of light.  They won't produce like outdoors in the summer, but I have kept the plants going and enjoyed a few jalapenos or bell peppers through the winter.  I always just harvest and dry the red chilis, as with them "a little goes a long way!"
I wish you well with your endeavor.
Kind Regards,
Kindred
