How cool is it where they're growing? My guess is that, since you're watering, it's got to be either light or temperature...cool temps slow them down tremendously and make them get fatter, HOWEVER, they do need adequate light in that cool, to keep them from stretching for light and getting long and leggy and floppy stupid.

Peppers take FOR-E-VER! And, they do NOT like it cool -- AT ALL!!! I grew my tomato seeds in the "cool" room, and my pepper seeds in the "warm" room...

BTW, what mix did you start your seeds in?
