My outdoor habaneros are covered in peppers right now (too bad, since it's almost November and our first frosts have started). I started them late March inside and planted them Mid-May. We don't get uber-hot here a couple days in the 90's per summer, most of it rides in the 70's and low 80's. My tent is generally in the upper 70's to mid 80's so that's solid. We'll see how it all goes. Also, depending on timing, I can also drop them into the garden outdoors in the spring if they decide to take forever. My Manzano Yellow peppers went into the ground mid may and it's covered but they're nowhere near ripe yet. Which is sad.Sorry to hijack your thread Balzac89, but you have the kale going inside so it’s a little relevant.
Habaneros like it hot too. Seems no matter how early or late I start them inside, they just kind of stay in stasis once they are in the ground outside until late July. Then it gets hot and they explode. I’ve grown them in both SoCal and Michigan and observed the same thing. Curious to see if you can get them really going inside at the temp range pot plants like. They are remarkably tolerant to being under watered. I grew three colors of them this year.

I also do roses from seed, so the tent might be crowded. If you want a challenge, try germinating roses from your own rosehips. Ugh.
