media Hi people was hoping for some advice on indoor growing in coco?

Hi everyone, this is my first post, I've only just got into the pepper growing thing, was hoping for a bit of advice please!
Last year I bought a small scotch bonnet plant and it grew pretty massive on my windowsill over the summer. I got a fair few chillies from it although I was only giving it tap water and it got hardly any sunlight as we are in a basement flat.
So this year I've been inspired to grow some indoors in coco, under a CFL light. The idea being that if we actually get a proper summer this year I can shift them to my windowsill once they are a decent size.
I got some jiffy coco plugs and planted 9 seeds from that scotch bonnet plant, 6 cayenne pepper and 6 from some mild green supermarket chillies, not sure what they are called though.
Anyway 2 weeks later about half of them have germinated, and stand about 2 inches with four baby leaves on them.
So my questions are, when should they come out of the heated propagation and into the larger coco cubes? And when should I start feeding? Also can anyone recommend a particular nutrient brand for chili plants in coco?

Thanks in advance to anyone who could give me any tips!
 
You are asking a lot you can search for the stuff but here are a couple of the things I'm concerned about you will need a lot of CFLs to grow all of these to pod indoors and if you don't have the space to grow outdoors I would consider getting a hid
 
I'm just trying to get a head start on our summer really, the space I have is pretty limited in height, I think a HID would produce far too much heat for that small area, just want to get the plants 6 to eight inches tall then move them somewhere else. I've tried googling it but I thought a specialised forum would be the best place to ask as I can't find much info about chillies in coco.
 
go to the welcome section and say hi to everyone. so much info here,use the search and your mind will be blown :rofl:
 
Yea I was referring to the search engine in this forum seriously there are a crazy amount of nice people here that have been growing all their lives
