Last summer was the first time I have grown anything other than the typical, readily available greenhouse variety peppers.
This year is the first time I will be planting in December. That really makes you think ahead to were you want to be when the regular planting season begins. Since this is also the first time I will be germinating and growing for an extended period under HID, I am faced with numerous questions regarding growth rates to expect and minimum container sizes pre-outdoor grow. I know that super hots need to go into the dirt around now. the question is, with a last frost date of May 1-15 here in zone 5b, What size should I expect the plants to have acheived by that time? (General conditions being considered). I started my super hots last year in late may and plants acheived 3' with pods ripening indoors as first frosts came on time. I dont want 36 3' plants come April 1st.

Advice? I am all ears....
