Quebo's second attempt at growing peppers

Two years ago I planted some jalapeno's and had a thread about it here. I managed to harvest 30 - 40 peppers that year which was nice, but there was a lot of room for improvement. I also planted some habaneros and scorptions that year but too late in the season so they never managed to blossom.
 
Some time has passed and I'm ready for a second attempt, starting very early this year.
 
I planted seven types today:
 
 - cayennes
 - green curries
 - Aji Omnicolor
 - Habanero Yellow Super F1
 - Bhut Jolokia Chocolate
 - Chinese 5 Color
-  Scorpions
 
I posted them in soil for tomato's, hope thats okay. They are on a heated propagator by a window with a lot of light :) Each separate container has 6 seeds in it of the same type.

I like your germinator set-up, very clean
and tidy. Looks like a good unit.
 
It will be interesting to see what the
F1 Habanero produces. 
 
Good luck with your northern grow, Quebo!
 
Growing quite fast now, so moved them to their own containers

28 out of 43 had germinated, which is already a lot more than I have space for so decided not to wait for the other ones

They're a bit leggy I think, so buried them quite deep

Really goin' now, quebo. Laugh at the cold
northern weather. Ha!
 
Like the pots. I use a 5x5x6 version. A full
2-litre container. A #1 nursery pod only holds
3/4 gallon, about 2.8 litres, and the square
ones like years yours are so space efficient.
