This is the first time I've tried to grow any type of vegetable. I started these peppers from seed about 4 or 5 weeks ago. They seem to be doing very well. They've been inside under lights. I bring them outside for a few hours each day. The weather just got nice enough where the low at night is in the 50's. The peppers are getting too big for the cups and I'm getting ready to transplant into 3 gallon fabric pots and move outdoors. The plants are about 4-4.5" tall with about 5 nodes. They seem very bushy with very little stretch, so I haven't planned to top them. The plants are already budding and I started to pick off the buds. I do not know when to allow the plants to flower. I live in a Chicago Appartment and trying to start a balcony garden.

Any input would be helpful.

The earlier pictures are about 3 weeks old.
