lookin good patrick. you are ahead of me! where abouts are you in nebraska, nice to see a neighbor here!
Looks like you have a good start to a flamin season!
im in the nw corner of iowa between storm lake spencer and fort dodge, if you know where any of those are at.
Great looking plants Patrick! Growing them is almost as much fun as eating the peppers! You have a really nice set up.
Thanks all.
I've got them sitting in the family room so heat isn't an issue. It isn't 80F but mid 70's seems to be working OK.
I found a couple of them with aphids this morning. Talk about a pain in the butt. I've sprayed each one on the top, sides, bottom and any place else I could get the spray in. I'll go back and do it again in a few days.
The aphids came from a couple of overwintering plants I have in another room. I've been able to contain them on those plants but they're impossible to wipe out. I need some ladybugs. Come on spring!
I'm using a combination of insecticidal soap and botanical pyrethrins to do the job, wish me luck.

patrick, what kind of lights are those? Are they just 2' fluoro's.

Dale, they are the plant floro's. Supposed to have a plant favorable light spectrum as compared to regular florescents. The entire thing is under $10 at Wally world.
Here's the ones I'm referring to: http://www.homeharvest.com/fluorescenttubes.htm They're not the killer lights that will make your plants produce fruit indoors but they seem to be doing a good job with my seedlings. I'm also using them to keep some overwintered plants growing. Working just fine with them too.

Congratulations patrick, I hope mine will have life some day 
Seems I have a heating issue after all. Checking them out yesterday morning I noticed a couple of fallen leaves. I set this up next to a door that I'm replacing the interior frame to so there is a draft that is letting in some cold air.
Went to Home Depot and picked up a painters tarp, a 9' X 12' that is 2 mil thick. Did a bit of jury rigging and wallah, my own little greenhouse. I have a small opening on a bottom corner that allows me to blow fresh air in when I want. Next stop at HD I'm going to pick up a digital thermometer.
I'm also using some styrofoam insulation to help maintain heat that is being provided by the florescent lights. It isn't much but I'm hoping it's enough. Guess I'll find out soon enough.
You know going through old and new threads and posts here is like having a brain storm and finding all the answers you need to have a successful growing season. Man I love this site!
Anyway here's a couple of pics.
