Post #4106349

I have successfully grown my chillis from seed for 5 years now, and every year I have the same hard descision to make: whether or not to pull out the late germinators.

Most chillis come up within the same few days, then a week or two later I see a few more popping up.
Could these plants potentially be as big and vigorous as their early rising siblings?

I usually thin the smaller ones out and just grow the larger ones. Am I being unfair to these little fellas, because they are simply younger not weaker? Does anyone know?
