Starting Peppers Indoors

I'm starting a few peppers early indoors under 3500k LED. Two were started about one month ago and the rest at various times throughout the last two weeks.
 
Here is my pepper list 1 of each
 
Banana
Anaheim
Big Jim Hot Pepper (supposed to be biggest chilly pepper in the world with the heat of a jalapeno)
Pepperoncini
Habanada
And lastly seeds I saved from a small red pepper that looked like a small 3'' banana pepper
 
First I'm having a bit of trouble. The first two I planted (Anaheim and Habanada) in coco coir hydrated from an 11lb bail mixed with lobster compost. These sprouted and didn't grow a set of true leaves after two weeks. Now they are just starting to push out a set of leaves. The problem may have been a combination of overwatering and the lights were too close. Since figuring this out the lights have been raised to 30'' above the pots as per the seller recommendation yesterday.

Lastly, a miniature rose I'm growing for fun

As you can see the peppers are really small for two weeks since sprouting.
 
Starts are showing progress, Johnny.  
What are you feeding them with?
 
I'll update the peppers that went outdoors tomorrow
 
Here are the peppers I've started indoors just recently for indoor production over the winter. I can't upload pics getting error 406
