When do you start your Chilli's

[Hmr81]

Hey all, For the indoor chilli growers really. When do you pop some seeds?

I think last year i did about Feb but im thinking maybe i should pop them a little earlier?

Im planning to start at the end of this month in heated area. usually take a while to get going so will sit on the side of my prop tent till mid/late feb when they move to windowsill. thats the plan anyway

Cool. I have a little heated prop that i pop on the kitchen window sill to get them started. As you say they take a while to get going so im thinking i might start soon.

cant hurt to start chillies early if ya got space for them buddy, can always remove the first few flower sets to encourage nice big bushy plants

ill be leaning on this heavily this year for planned plantings https://www.realseeds.co.uk/Monthlysowing.html doesnt mentioned chilli that i can see tho

True, very true.

Im going for Purple Jalapeneo and Thor's Thunderbolts this year

Samoah Sweet pepper, Chocolate Habanero, Kali Mirch, De cayenne oooh and trying 6 Nigel Uk outdoor chillies too! Already started mixture between LED and windowsill! When is everyone starting?

[Hmr81]

As long as they don't go to leggy at the beginning is usually all good to start early they take around 60 days to start flowers but i take first few sets off, Super -hot peppers take like 90 days to mature so definitely worth popping soon! What you growing this year @GMO ?

Ive got a habanero on the windowsill still fruiting from last year, besides that ive got the usual suspects; Cayenne, Anaheim and chocolate paprika. will find some serrano seeds as well. see if any others turn up too
