light green new leaves

Hi, after i started to move the plants out in the sun and give them bigger pots some of the new leaves are light green. To litle of something? I do give them epsom spray every week. After i started to have them out in the sun 3-5 hour the last week they started to grow faster, could that be the reason?

Thanx :-) I thought they were missing som N since the new leaves was light green. Since i had them grow inside in my basement under LED they maybe didnt grow fast enough to make light green leaves? I do see that the grow speed is higher under the sun than under the LED.

I noticed the same thing this summer, when the nights started getting so warm.  I'd check them in the morning and notice a surprising amount of light green new growth.  "Where the heck did these leaves come from?"   :shocked:   The plants seem to be storing energy during the day, then going into manic growth mode overnight.  IMO, so long as the leaves darken in a day or so, they're doing fine.

Your leaves are bigger than half my plants
 
I have a pair of Habanero's that are doing the same thing.  I like the light green, dark green contrast.  It looks good.
 
Your plants look so healthy, I would not worry at all the increased growth due to the new sun is light green, the plant is just having trouble keeping up w/ the new growth spurt, give it a few weeks to grow into itself it will be fine keep doing what you're doing your plants will turn out great! Good luck to you

As others have said, could be just an adjustment period. However, if the growth remains yellow and/or gets worse, consider watering less frequently. Chile plants prefer semi-dry conditions and yellowing is most often the plant telling you it's too wet. The plants look very healthy otherwise!
