These are my 10 #38 hot peppers as of May 23 - more than 3 months since planting seeds. Refer to pot labels in photos for plant numbers.

38-1 2.00" tall, Purple -> Green, no buds
38-2 9.50" tall, Purple -> Green, buds
38-3 7.25" tall, Purple -> Green, buds
38-4 2.00" tall, Purple -> Green, no buds
38-5 5.25" tall, Purple -> Green, no buds
38-6 2.25" tall, Purple -> Green, no buds
38-7 8.00" tall, Purple -> Green, no buds
38-8 2.00" tall, Purple w/ tad of green, no buds
38-9 9.50" tall, Purple -> Green, buds
38-10 5.75" tall, Purple -> Green, buds


This family of plants is less pleasing to my eye than #1 or #14 because they are more spindly and less bushy. Nevertheless, my favorites are 38-2 and 38-9, followed by 38-3, 38-7 and 38-10. If I were pressed for space, I'd scrap everything less than 4" tall.
