Hmm, not sure what is going on here...They were potted on from the heated prop into these pots on the 18/02/11 they have not moved position and nothing has changed in their routine! 

They are on a v. sunny windowsill with a radiator underneath which goes off at 11pm and comes on again at 5.30am (same they germinated on) watered every three-four days (not enough to really soak)... 

If they were older i'd feed them but I don't think they can be lacking nutrients I wouldn't have thought.  It seems to be the same with all the chilli, peppers and aubergines.





You get the idea!

Are they not heading towards the light of the window?

As all three types are showing the same symptoms, it may well be an light issue!! Also is there a big difference in your Max/Min temp as I notice your heating is off at night.

Guess so, I might try and get them in the heated propergator in the greenhouse tomorrow then... see if that helps.  Failing that they could go in the conservatory during the day and in the kitchen at night.

They look a little too wet to me as they are showing signs of damping off around the pots.

As they have been in the peat pots (or similar) for about 6 weeks they might be running short of nutrients / food. I would pot them on into 3 or 4 inch pots and maybe even take them out of the peat pots as they can dry out too quickly. Keep them in a constant warm (not too warm), light spot and they should be OK.

I think Andy might be right - certainly let your chilli dry out a bit more.
