Hello! I have 3 pepper plants (2 mini-bells, 1 habanero) that I started a bit too late and combined with a cool summer, it's now October and the bell peppers are just starting to blossom and grow peppers; the habanero is still doing nothing. I am sure it's because of the temperature (I'm in Seattle), so I'm not confused about why that's happening or anything

But, now I'm wondering - should I prune them back and overwinter them or should I move indoors and continue growing with more heat and a grow light. If I let them grow over the winter, will that mess them up come spring/summer or can peppers produce all year under the right conditions?

If anyone has any advice, I'd greatly appreciate it! Looked all over online and couldn't really find any information to answer my question.

Thanks!
Rebecca

In greenhouses peppers are grown all year-around: if you provide them with adequate growing conditions they'll do very well indoors. A growing light is great but also remember they need constant heat and humidity, so you may want to look into one of those growing tents popular among hrdroponic enthusiasts. Stuff like this: https://www.mars-hydro.com/gro...
Mars Hydro is "the good stuff" so you can find cheaper tents but know you get what you pay for.

Thank you for the response! I looked at that kit and unfortunately just couldn't afford it! I built an indoor mini-greenhouse using that window insulating plastic (double layer) wrapped around a wood frame I constructed. I have a grow light at the top, will install a thermometer/humidity gauge once it arrives in the mail, and found a tiny space heater the size of a cell phone to heat it. We'll see how my DIY creation holds up!
