My first big container garden

I'm fairly new to this forum and it seems like doing a glog is a good way to get some input as well as share my techniques and experiences, limited as they may be.
 
I started some seeds late this year. Really late. 6 days ago late. I already have germination on 5 varieties. Yucatan White Habanero, Congo Brown Habanero, 7 Pod Primo, Bhut Jolokia, and Trinidad Scorpion "Butch T"! I'm starting them in a south window in a mix of 3 parts Ocean Forest, 1 part perlite, and 1 part coco fiber. It seems to be working fine.



I also have some plants that I ordered from Refining Fire (Jim Duffy and his crew, I'm sure he's well known here). Those are all listed in my grow list in my profile. I'm doing a shortish hardening period that started with being outside for 5 hours and increasing by about an hour each day. On day 10 they will be transplanted to their semi-permanent containers. 
 
I'll post pics as I have time to (and that show noticeable progress).

That's where mine are at. I don't think I have more than 2 true leaves on any pepper seedling. Most of the Tomatoes are twice the size :D
 
Pics man pics ....I'm not scared to admit I like pepper porn, no matter the size or stage of growth.....
 
The deer that occasionally wander through my neighborhood decided they would help me out and top half of my established plants. Thanks a bunch.  :shame:
 
Updates: My habanero (orange) has produced about a half pound so far with at least as much left to ripen still on the plant. It's getting huge. Easily 2 ft tall and across.
 
My Bahamian Goat is producing a couple pods (that's all I'm letting it so this year as I'm more concerned with the short season at this point. The few pods that it does have will have to ripen indoors when I bring the plants in in a few weeks.
 
The larger plant of my couple Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpion cross are flowering, but no pods yet. 
 
My seedlings are developing nicely (as well as slowly) and most have a few sets of true leaves now.
 
I've noticed that any of my plants that are habanero or ghost types are attempting to produce flowers/pods, where as any scorpion I have is more concerned with growing...
