[CH] Curly leaves

Hi,
I've been lurking here a while and don't post to often. Now I may have a
problem coming on with my little chile plant seedling.
I started the seeds about 6 weeks ago. I have Cayenne, Red Savina's, Ancho's
and Thai's growing. They are all in peat-pots. The Thai's are even already
growing flower buds. They sit below a window which gets afternoon sun and have
a grow lamp above them. I keep the soil moist but not dripping wet and every
once in a while use a diluted solution of miracle grow. I've been waiting (in
vain so far) for the weather to warm up here in the San Francisco Bay Area so
that I may plant them outside.
So, now the problem. Some of the plants, mostly the Thai's have a few leaves
which are curling up at the edges. They are not dried out, they are just
curling. On the underside there are little bumps, I would describe them as
"wart-like". Also some of the leaves are turning yellow.
What am I doing wrong with these? Are they under-nourished, infected with
fungus or something like that? Are they just wanting to go out-doors?
I hope someone can give me a few hints here as to what I need to do. I
certainly appreciate any help and thank you all in advance.
All the best,
Richard
