Ciao Denna,

You know, I'm starting to think that some of the chili pepper varieties were invented by God to give to people who are desperate to sow anything in the tomato family in the middle of winter. Duane sowed his Aji Dulce on 25 February and those plants are maybe 5" tall now with stocky stems and huge green leaves. The lights really make a huge difference in seedling vigour. So that tells you this is a very slow grower, which has good and bad points, I guess. Good in that you can get started way early and the plants won't take over your livingroom. Bad in that if you don't get started early-ish, the plants will be way small by the time you want to plant them out.
