Sown chillis/peppers dilemma

[di]

I had(still have)all my early sown toms,chillis & aubergines in the same tray.The toms & aubergines were up far earlier than the chillis....ended up taking the lid off & sort of gave up hope on the chilis,but left them be....about a week later & the first chillis poked through & then yesterday(at least a fortnight later) the last chilli has shown up.
So for me....ditto what Flummery said!!

My chillis and peppers are on the worktop in the kitchen...and are coming through albeit a bit slower than the toms. I'm sure if you take them out now they will come through in a few days. They always take a bit longer than toms anyway.

As the saying goes " a bird in the hand etc." so look after the ones you already have rather than risk the lot.

thanks all I have gone for the big one and taken the lid off Fingers crossed that as they're on the windowsill above a radiator, they should still get enough warmth. How big should I let the existing seedlings get before I pot on, read somewhere you should wait until first true leaves come through, is that correct? If I pot on earlier than this will it affect my plants?
I know questions, questions, questions

[Flummery]

Wait for true leaves. As long as they aren't overcrowded and striving to get to the light, you can leave them a little longer. There's no hurry - it's still VERY early in the season.

Okay thanks Flummery, will hang on, too impatient.
