If they are like tomatoes and you are not getting DIRECT sunlight for 6 hours minimum, (not bright light) then yes, you will need a grow light.

I have grow lights now but I started tomatoes and peppers in sunny, south-facing windows for years with good results. You’ll want to up-pot pellets once the second or third set of leaves start to show. I use red solo cups filled with a homemade mix of potting material. I use an ice pick and poke several small holes in the bottoms for drainage. I grow them out there until they are ready to go into the ground or container. You can reuse those cups many times. I’ll use a sharpie and trim tape to label them if needed. On que with this guy's thoughts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FiBryH75SY

Yep, the need for grow lights is determined by sun light. I have lots of seed started, sitting on my dining table. It gets south sun through two big windows and I don’t have any grow lights. Starts are doing great.

Be kind to one another and tell the ones you love that you love them often. We never know what tomorrow will bring.

I’ve started peppers from seeds in a sunny south window several times, but you’ll have to grow them until they get strong enough to plant outside. They are very easy to break when they’re young.
