For people who pluck Flowers, when do you stop?

[PepperZ]

Basically, how long before(if at all) you put them out, do you stop picking flowers.

I think that's a real discretion call.  If you have a super healthy plant, it may be a different answer than if you have one that's struggling.  But if you were going to stop plucking flowers, ideally, it would be when the growing conditions are prime - i.e., when the warmest weather begins. (sometime around mid to late June for you)

I stop when i am sick of plucking buds/flowers. At some point it gets tedious

They are all like 2-3 feet tall already. So super healthy just I don't think the light is enough(indoors) to grow full size fruit. I'm not sure if I would ideally allow fruits to start forming ahead of time or to just put them out in the sun and let nature take it's course.

You don't really need to pick the flowers at all

I never bother. The season here is too short to be picking flowers or topping.

Nothing will kill a chile plant more quickly than too much grower attention.
 
Leave it alone, it knows what to do.
