I am growing chilli peppers from seed for the very first time. They are all at different heights and sizes. Firstly some of the plants that are about 6-8" tall have grown a bit droopy. Is this normal when they grow taller and larger ? They hav e enough water and sunlight. Secondly is it ok if I keep them indoors permanently ? Thank you
Your Peppers will need full sun outdoors to grow and produce.

I'm growing Anaheim's for roasted green chilis. The small, immature fruit are turning red. I've grown them before and never had this happen. These were purchased plants and may be a slightly different variety than I've had in the past. They get plenty of water and fertilizer. I'm disappointed and stumped.
As green Anaheim chiles turn red, the flavor moves from grassy earthy notes to a sweeter more complex flavor. Red Anaheim chiles deliver a medium sweet heat, a flavor which is enhanced by roasting.
i planted some hot pepper plant iam only getting 2 to 3 peppers per plant what is the cause

I got a chilli plant from B&Q about 3 months ago and it has started to produce some fruit. However, the plant's packaging had not mentioned anything about the variety of the chilli, except that it is 'super hot'. I have a few photos which might help, but apart from that, I have no other information.
Most likely a Harbanero.

I Need to know how to pollinate chili plants indoors.
These require lots and lots of light to produce correctly. Like tomatoes, they like to have temperatures that remain constant between day and night. After these requirements are met, flowers will become prolific. When this happens, it is as simple as lightly tapping the flowers, or shaking the branch. On many occasions, these will pollinate themselves without and outside help. If they are still not bearing fruit, there could be another issue.
I am growing a Thai chilli plant in a pot and it has begun producing a lot of fruit. Recently I've noticed the fruit starting to turn red but at the same time many look wrinkly and feel hollow. Does znyonr know why? Could it be under watering (I've been watering sparsely to correct my initial error of over watering. The leaves haven't been wilting from under watering). The first photo is of a large healthy looking fruit to contrast with the shriveled up looking ones.
The fruit will suffer from dehydration before the leaves do. Wilting leaves = severe dehydration of the plant. Don't wait for that sign before watering. Dig down an inch into the soil and if it is dry, it is time to water. Also, if nighttime temps are dropping into the 40s, chilies will have trouble. They like it hot!
Hi, I have setup a hydroponic system indoors and planted 6 chilli plants in one bucket. It's a DWC system where I fill the bucket with water and mix the nutrient solution and submerge the plant roots in it. I have also setup an air pump with dual outlets to aerate the solution. On top I have grow light strips. The problem is, out of the 6 plants, one started to wilt. I planted them two days ago. I attached some photos of my setup. Any idea why this is happening? Best Regards, Pubudu
There are a few things to note here. These lights are more suited to leafy greens that do not require much... With peppers, you will want 50 to 100 watts of light per plant in order for them to produce. I see some stretching in several of the plants.
I run LED myself, but I keep a general rule of about 750 watts to a 5x5 foot area. You might even think about using household LED, if you do not wish to purchase a horticultural grade LED. These can supply a good amount of light, although not as efficiently.
This could also be a nutrient issue, or a pH issue. Do you have a way to manage, and measure these?
And last, it could have something to do with your nutrient line that you are using... What would this be?
I'll be glad to help you further with more information.
