Some of the peppers pictured above were stragglers.  Once the rain calmed down a little and they received more sunshine they seemed to explode with growth.  Peppers seem to be more forgiving than most other plants that I've grown.
 
Post a success pic like that and everybody has questions :)
 
And I was wondering what if any fertilizer you used on those beauties.  I just bought some Fox Farm Tiger Bloom and I'm gonna hit my pepper plants with that tomorrow.

Donyou keep them out all day in the sun?

What are your daytime temps?
They have sun all day long.  I may move them into a spot that gets evening shade later this year.  We have been getting temps in the upper 80s lower 90s.

Yeah the plants looks real good.  Is that a marigold on the end and do you find that it keeps bugs away?
That is a marigold.  It help to attract pollinators.  It also help to attract lady bugs.  I've already noticed several breeding pairs of lady bug beetles on my pepper plants.  Lady bugs and their larvae keep aphid populations from building up on my plants.

Worm castings mixed into the potting mix.  Aerated worm casting tea used as a foliar treatment weekly.  Aerated worm casting tea used as a soil drench at least every other week.

Due to too much heat stress in the evening, I had to move all the peppers to the west side of my yard to get some evening shade.  I may save a little water by not having to water them quite so often.

Wow!!  You are really bringing some Capsaicin to your Nation!!  I keep my varieties around the ten mark.  My favorite pepper by taste is the Jalapeño.  I've often wished that there was a super hot with the taste of the Jalapeño.  I have grown and stressed Jalapeños that seemed to get near the heat of a Habanero.

My favorite pepper so far is the Brain Strain but I havent tasted all of them yet because it's only my second year growing and most of them are new on my growing list. Sadly they aren't as big as yours yet tho.

When does your growing season start?  And how long is your growing season there in Denmark?
