I like the soda bottle trick! I have a stack of the giant plastic soda cups from the movie theaters I save for the stuff that gets leggy no matter what I do, but the soda bottles would give me even more height to work with.

Some pepper varieties just seem prone to getting leggy. I have an 16 varieties in one tray right now with one variety (same species as everything else) that is twice as tall as all the rest. Under the same lights, same watering etc., just want to stretch.
