3rrorist's indoor grow

Hello everyone,
 
This past year was my first year gardening and I didn't want to stop just because my season is over. Initially I was just going to move two banana pepper plants indoors, but a friend's mom gave me some various other plants. I'm not sure what all of them are and need help with identification.
 
My setup so far:
Emergency mylar blankets
iPower 400w light system
Light timer
14" plant pot saucers
Temp/humidity monitor
 
I bought the light I'm using initially for just two plants, but since I have several more than that now, I guess I will need more light. Any suggestions for my lighting situation are welcome. I would like these plants to grow and fruit under the lights, so whatever I would need to get to accomplish that.
 
I plan on making this area enclosed in the next couple of weeks. I might make this into it's own little room. I need to insulate the area because right now the average temperature is 64 degrees. 
 
 
Indoor grow setup
48" x 68" table

 
Inside the "tent"
10 plants total, half at seedling stage, half 1 - 2 ft.

 
Banana Pepper #1
This was much bigger, but I trimmed it back a lot.

 
Banana Pepper #2
I attempted to cut this back like some people do on here to over-winter their plants, but I think I went a little too far.

 
Jalapeno
I'm excited for this one to produce a lot.

 
Unknown #1
It looks like their dog took a few bites out of this one. It's possible that this plant is ghost, jalapeno, or habanero. I need help identifying.

 
Unknown #2
This plant is either ghost or habanero. I need help identifying.

 
Unknown #3
This plant is either ghost or habanero. I need help identifying.

 
 

 
Recently transferred 20 seedlings from dixie cups to 1 gallon containers.
 
I use the following mix:
1 part fox farm ocean forest
1 part coco
.5 part vermiculite
 
I would have used just the fox farm by itself, but I couldn't find it locally and had to buy it online. It was expensive, so I wanted to make it last. The coco I had left over from starting seeds and the vermiculite I got for free. I know that ocean forest has perlite in it already, so I hope adding verm wasn't a mistake. 
 
I will be posting more updated pictures later today.
 
Hey, Johnnie, those lights have kicked your grow into high gear.
Your banana pepper looks great, the haircut didn't hurt it a bit!
 
Happy New Year!
 
The jalapeno plant is the only one producing right now. The others have flowers on them, but they all fall off. Megahot suggested I hand pollinate on the plants that aren't producing, so I'm going to try that.
