Growing habaneros, poblano, chiltepin, cascabel and chilhuacle. They are in varying stages of growth, all of the seeds were planted on the 3rd of February. Set up with a heat mat set to 26 degrees and a grow light.
Do they look okay for their age? Or should I change anything?

I don’t know anything about gardening and I still manage to get a few vegetables to grow. With that said, I think you’ve got it looking great.
They look nice, did you start them in these?
They look amazing! Only concern here I have is that I usually see people remove the heat mat after germination as optimal soil temperature for growing peppers is 70-80 degree Fahrenheit. If the room is a bit cool I’ve seen some people simply elevate their seed tray by stacking something underneath it and placing the heating mat under the tray that way it isn’t heating the soil as directly but still is able to maintain relatively warm soil. Of course don’t do anything without taking a temperature of your soil and you might not need to adjust anything. As far as I can tell these are coming along perfectly!
Heat pad is off? If not turn it off they look great could use more light intensity.
You’re welcome I can’t give any advice because this is my first time growing anything, I’m germinating ( trying to) lots of different varieties and I noticed all of your peppers are capsicum annum except the Habanero which is capsicum chinense. I’m trying both types too, but it’s just been two weeks and I’m seeing some of both types sprouting, so I’m encouraged. Keep up the good work!

Only advice I have is to fill your pots up to the top so they get the maximum light exposure as soon as they germinate instead of being down in a more shaded area. Otherwise they look awesome!
