How to keep peppers alive in these cirstances?

The bhut jolokia plant, like habaneros, does not like to be overwatered. More than likely they are wilting due to not having been "hardened off". When a seedling is raised indoors under artificial light the migration to full sunlight is very traumatic. This is a process that must be done gradually starting with 1-2 hours a day in the sun increasing over time until they can handle 8 or more hours a day. Also, the bhut jolokia can get stressed when temperatures are over 90 degrees.
