New grower , How am I doing?

[Nickbone]

Hello,

I am new to growing peppers. I have 3 cayenne right now that are just over a month old.
They have been two feet under a 400 watt metal halide for the last week, previously under fluorescent lighting.
using roots 707 soil mix.

Overall I am pretty happy so far.

I think I may have been overwatering a bit before transplanting them into the 7 gallon smart pots.
Two days ago I treated them to some calmag and don't water anymore unless they are bone dry.

My curiousity is that one of the plants is a nice dark green with fairly flat leaves while the other two are a bit on the pale side.
They all receive the same treatment and I rotate them under the lights daily.

Any input or comments greatly appreciated!

Even within a variety there is variation of plant characteristics, so unless
they start to look sick, I'd just keep an eye on them.

They look great…keep up the good work!!

Thanks guys. I'm glad I found this place. Hopefully it will help prevent me from making some of the more common mistakes.

Thanks Spanky, So far I like it. It is designed for decent water retention so I have to be careful not to overwater. Not a lot of nutrients in it so you supposedly have more flexibility with adding nutrients. I wanted to use Promix BX but couldn't find any locally.
