Great start and nice selection!
We started almost at the same time(1 week difference) and my plants are not nearly as developed as yours, but I presume you're using an external light source for your plants?

Good luck with your grow!

Looking very nice. Chocolate habanero's were always slow germinators for me.

As I started to run out of space and the bigger seedlings were a bit too crowded, I decided to build a new light source and moved them into my wardrobe. The new lamp has 8 45W CFL-s, it is not too elegant, but hopefully will do the job.

The peppers are doing great and growing fast, just battling with some fungus/mold. I decided to treat it with spraying some diluted hidrogen-peroxide on the soil. Would covering the top layer with some small rocks solve this? A fan is running every other hour throughout the day.

This is the big-boy corner, I might put them in larger pots soon, maybe bury them a bit deeper

Some of them have even started to produce side-shoots

The past 9 days the peppers started growing very fast, I even started putting some of them in larger pots. They are all looking great except a few weird ones with some discolored patches on the leaves, hopefully they will get over it. Looks like the weather is getting warmer here soon, so the plan is to move out the larger ones in about 10-15 days for the daytime only.

4 of the annuums are producing buds

The growth in 9 days

The plants are doing great, all the annuums are producing buds or flowering. I might be a bit ahead of the weather, its rainy and 14-16 Celsius these days here so it will be still a while until they can go outside. Hopefully I can put the larger ones outside on the balcony in a couple of weeks to free up some space under the lights. In the meanwhile I am gradually raising the lights and chopping down lower leaves to make space.

So far the largest plant, 22 cm tall.

2 Months after I started germinating the seeds, 2 of the plants are already producing pods and reached a height of 26 cm. Currently the bigger ones spend the day outside in a makeshift greenhouse which has a current temperature of about 27 Celsius with the front open, even though it is supposed to be 17 degrees outside. I will continue to keep them inside at night until the night temps reach 10 degrees.

All going well, peppers are growing very nicely outside in the spring sun. The majority of them will be planted in the garden next week.

My seed vendor gave me a bag titled 'pepper mix', so I planted a seed and this is the result. It is already fruiting, any ideas what it it is?
