Are any of these babies ready to move outside in my big pots? My jalapeño is yellowing a bit and I’m worried I’m holding him back 😭

You should “harden” them gradually. Set them outside 1-2 hours on day one in a location protected from strong wind and sun. (Usually a porch). Then add an hour or so each day. After about a week in protected area you can begin moving them to a place that gets morning sun and gradually move them to a location the gets stronger sun until they are at the optimal location for the variety of plant.
