Wow, beauty! I hope my de Arbol will look like that someday. Wanted to say thanks as I copied your ideas on pot starting size and nute regimen (mostly). Working well for me, but not in your league (yet). Prolly the metal halides a key ingredient. But still, quite happy with how the 2.5-inch pots work out. Makes for a good orderly rotation of plants. I go straight from baggie germination to the 2.5 pots and skip the little cells.
 
Wow, it's already been a month since my last update. Sorry that I don't have any individual shots of the plants, I have so many packed into a small area and they are getting big. Most are between 2 1/2 - 4 1/2 feet tall, it's crazy how big these are, and I still have a couple more weeks before they can go outside. Many are just loaded with pods, at this rate I'll be harvesting before / at plant out.

Measured at soil level this serrano del sol is pushing 3' tall

Left side, the tallest plant is an Aji Angelo and has been growing into the lights (over 5' tall)

Plants are all doing well, can't wait to get them all outside.
 
Finally, it's warm enough outside to actually start moving some of the plants outside. The last couple of weeks were a little rough on them as they were cramped for space and I was only running 2 lights. I also ran out of fertilizer and haven't had a chance to pick up more. Anyways I took these pics first thing this morning using my phone so they are not the best quality.

Purple pequin, which was the one I pulled up like a weed and replanted it, it is looking really good

My 2 chile de arbol's in the upper right you can see a couple of pods on my hot finger.

Still have quite a few more to hall out of the basement and then I still have to organize them all, I'm just glad that I can finally move them outside.
