First Time Greenhouse Grow 2018

i went and bought a greenhouse for my first actual grow this year, after some years of mildly disappointing attempts on my windowsills. sadly, i wasn't able to start any seeds in time so i got a bunch of young plants instead and they are already growing pretty well (for my standards at least) despite the sh#tty berlin weather. the varieties are as follows.
 
in the greenhouse currently:
 
-2x 7pot bubblegums
-2x trinidad scorpion caramels
-2x ghost peppers
-8x jalapenos
-6 fresnos
 
outside right next to the greenhouse:
 
-2x rocoto canario
-2x rocoto yellow giant
-2x rocoto marlene
 
i've got some thai demons and rocoto manzano reds coming soon as well.
 
if all goes well i can finally make some batches of homegrown hot sauce by the end of the season, wish me luck :).
i will post updates semi-regularly.

bhut jolokia / ghost peppers looking proper gnarly already.
 
the jalapenos (right side) got super bushy, should i trim off some leaves in order to support pod growth or?
 
You can just buy some plastic greenhouse hooks and support the stems with hemp rope or something. Dont take the leaves off, because they are the ones that will provide the energy for the pods.
