Not tall enough, IMO. You'll run into some height problems pretty quickly.

"Sowing The Seeds Of Love" by Tears For Fears.   This song is sometimes described as "the best song the Beatles never made".   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAtGOESO7W8

For me, it's the Yaki Blue Fawn. The seedling has only two pairs of real leaves but they're already beautifully purple with silvery reflections. I can't wait to see the purple/blue pods.  

Biobizz Light-Mix. I've used it for years for various plants other than peppers. It's always worked pretty well and it seems to work for peppers too.

Very interesting! I can't wait to see how it turns out. With that many seeds, you should be able to get some statistically significant results out of this.

IMHO, you just can't buy a truly optimal, efficient, reliable, robust, safe, quiet, versatile, full-spectrum grow light for $100-$150.

  They're quite leggy, so the problem probably isn't too much light.

  Is this an LED? How many watts (real wattage from the wall)?

My guess is they react like that because of too much heat or too much light. What kind of grow light do you have?

  Yep, looks like heavy thrips damage to me.

  Lucky you! A sight for sore eyes... I'm in zone 8a, but it's 17°F and it's snowing right now... 

We're three weeks from spring and it's 10°F outside...

One of the two Cayenne plants is starting to ripen. Several pods have a red tip.  :party:    

  Thanks! I've heard a lot of positive things about the MoA!       Thanks!  We'll see how the next batch turns out... :D That is gonna be a real challenge!

Very green and healty! 

  I know. That's okay, because like I said I'm not looking for big yields right now. My goal is just to get a few pods per plant. I want to taste as many varieties as possible so I can decide what my favorites are and then I'll grow these in bigger pots. And so far, it seems to work pretty well...

  My goal for now is precisely to keep the plants small, so I can grow as many varieties as possible in my tent. With my current seedlings batch, I'm aiming at 16 varieties in my 3'x3' tent. Then, when I know which varieties I like the most, I'll grow fewer but bigger plants.

  The pots are between 2 litres and 3.5 litres, which is pretty small from what I've read. And my next batch (the current seedlings) is gonna grow in even smaller pots (1.5 litre pots). I give them NPK 7-2-5 during vegetative growth and I switch to NPK 2-7-4 when the first flowers appear, with...

  Thanks a lot! I couldn't have hoped for a better outcome, considering the limited space in my tent, the low wattage of my grow light and the fact it's my very first run with peppers.   Like I said above, the Golden Cayenne tastes pretty sweet, with hints of orange and maybe mango or something...
