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.

Overwatering, for sure. Once a day is too much. Peppers like to be moist but not wet. Let them dry out a little (but not bone dry) between waterings. Note the leaves that are yellow will not return to green, but your new growth should be green when it comes in, if you back off on the watering.
