What's happening everybody. My name is Big Jim and this is my first year attempting to grow a variety of assorted hot peppers. I am very excited to learn from everyone here and through my experiences. I wanted to document my Fabulous Pepper Adventures for everyone as well as myself for educational (and comical) purposes. Welcome to my glog and happy reading!

Wow that is alot of seedlings they look awesome
Just found this thread yesterday and have been catching up on it. Awesome opportunity - and awesome perspective on living out your faith! Cool to see all those doors open for you, blessings on you as you grow.
BTW, I've got some of that gardentone fertilizer, but haven't used it yet. I think I'll be mixing it in with some other things this year once the plants get outside. I'm curious how it will work out for you.

Awesome, a real life ed bloom (big fish, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0319061/), that is not a coincidence, freebies along the way! envy here. And awe to your seedling, there will be ton's of pod coming your way. Keep this glog going, i like it.
I have a few questions. Any suggestions?
Yellow Bhut Jolokia - I am wondering why the leaves are a yellowish color. Maybe it's possible I am over watering? I have been watering once a day (plus a misting) and keeping a fan on them 16 hours a day. The plants have been transplanted into a 50/50 compost/ coco coir mix from a 100% coco coir mix for 1 1/2 weeks now.
Orange Thai Pepper - I am wondering why the leaves and veins are contrasting in color. Maybe it's a nutrient deficiency? I have been watering once a day (plus a misting) and keeping a fan on them 16 hours a day. The plants are still in their original 100% coco coir mix and I plan on transplanting in the next day or so to a 50/50 compost/ coco coir mix so hopefully that helps.

To know your overwatering or not just stick your finger into it, if it to wet well is overwatering, if it moist it's perfect. For me, i waited until it wilted a little the watered them, as a member of THP said 'listen to your plant'. Beside that, your seedling look very much healthy.
with coco watering more often than soils is needed from what ive read, so i dont think you're overwatering. but cant say for sure. the leaves would be droopy if it was overwatering.
ive also read that growing in coco can have calcium and magnesium problems, and magnesium problem is what the orange thai looks like its got. give it some epsom salt and it will green right up
everything is looking awesome! keep it up!

Right on. Yellow leaves with green veins is a sign of nutrient/mineral deficiency.
