Planning on overwintering my 3 potted Aji Nortenos and 2 potted Sugar Rush Stripey Peach plants. Will keep them in my garage and provide heating as need. I don't need them producing tons of peppers over the winter I just want them kept alive and health enough to bring them back out in March. I am in south Texas if that matters.

You don’t need all that to overwinter. Just trim them back and put them in the garage. Water them every once in a while. As long as you have a window or two, they’ll be fine. You only need grow lights if you want them to grow or produce during the winter
That light will have your plants full of fruit if you give them enough fertilizer. I have the smaller ts600 for my grow tent and have grown lots of peppers. I Just started new seeds. They are great lights
Yes and more if you raise it up 5′ you can support like 6×6 area
My only input is: wait to buy these lights. Two weeks ago Mars Hydro lights on Amazon all had $30-$60+ off coupons and a lower listed price.
Now, since ‘Black Friday’ deals have started, they removed the coupon options, jacked up the listing price, then lowered the pricing, advertising 20% off or more. The issue is, these Black Friday deals are still $80 to $100 dollars more expensive than they were two weeks ago when they had their standard pricing up, plus their $XX off coupons. Completely soured me on the company, those are shitty practices and they think people are too dumb to notice.
I’ve tried all sorts of techniques to over winter over the years ..and have concluded that its best to start from seed each year.
I now use my lights to start the seeds indoors 2 months before the start of the outdoor season.
