I got very into growing chillis a few years back. Superhots really need sowing in January (in fact all types benefit from this). I germinated them in a propagator and then had them under a 125W CFL daylight bulb for about 20hrs a day to make them nice and bushy. I cropped about 10lbs of chilli that year (about 16 different varieties!). The previous year I had sown when advised on the packets and was still waiting for them to ripen in October!
