if you're interested in a couple tips... lower the lights (or raise the trays) so that the lights are just a couple inches above the seedlings - this will give you shorter plants with thicker stems. i tried that this year, and was amazed at the difference in the plant growth. last year all of my pepper plants were super leggy and slow to take off when i put them in the raised beds. this year i can't tell the cayennes from the jalapenos. also plant them out before they get root bound -- if they start to flower in the starter pots, pick those off when you transplant them (or you'll get some tiny little peppers before the plants mature). transplanted them about a week and a half ago, but it looks like they're doing ok. year before last i planted them out without hardening them off and all of my peppers died. last year they were all spindly and leggy and had to be staked. there's definitely a learning curve.
