That is the question for spring isn't it @Branching Out, even more so as the plants grow in size! I'm always juggling! Right now because I have so many peppers, I've got them on rotation with the lights, like @digitS' suggested. Works well. I also try to keep several plants in a pot for as long as possible. This does elongate the stems to some degree, but peps and toms can be planted deeper in bumping up so I don't get too concerned with that.
I have a small greenhouse, but I don't really find it helpful when it comes to running out of lighting area for starts. Partly because the days are still rather short so they would only get about 5-6 hours a day of light, and also because I think the regular exposure to the very chilly air (walking them there) might cause some problems too. Plus, I'd have to be really paying attention because if the sun clouds over, the temps plummet like a stone.
