guessing the right side was more true east than the left. right side more than likely heated up sooner a/ longer throughout the course of the day than the left side.

That would be my guess, too....the quality of light in the exposure. I keep my overwintered peppers in the same location, since it's tried and true.

I know, I am sorry, the pictures are horrible and I don't know why they posted upside down and side ways lol. If you look at the 1st pic the plants are touching each other in the same window I donâÂÂt understand. Even if my house was lopsided it would be like a 1 degree difference. Also, I didnâÂÂt see any of this with my seedlings in the same windows. Are the plants dead dead or will they come ack? They are crispy. Thanks

They look dead dead to me....but there's always a chance.
You can do a scratch test. With a finger nail, scratch a bit of the brown trunk. If there's green tissue under the brown, there's still vitality. If not, toss 'em out.

The containers are too large, as well. They might have been fine for the full size plants, but wintering peppers simply don't draw as much moisture....so the roots end up rotting in all that excess. Best, in my opinion, to downsize in the Fall.

Thanks Josh, the pruning, root pruning, and downsizing of the pots is what I have read everywhere, and everyone seems to agree on it. That is why I canâÂÂt figure out why the ones I left in the large pots and didnâÂÂt prune as much did the best. In fact, the Carolina reaper plant, that I didnâÂÂt prune at all, is doing the best of all. IâÂÂm glad I did my little experiment and didnâÂÂt prune them all back and put them in smaller pots, because if I did I wouldnâÂÂt have any left. Unfortunately, my experiment left more questions than answers. My conclusion is, all the small pots died, all the large pots on the left side of the same window died, and all the pruned plants on the left side of the widow died. The ones I messed with least are thriving. I just canâÂÂt hash out what is a coincidence and what caused my problems. I should have mentioned before that the ones on the left side of the window and right side both have a heating duct.
