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

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 ?
