Your pepper plants really look happy! I like those pots you're using, too. Looks like they're 15cm tall and about the correct l/w to fit 3x6 in a standard 1020 flat. Seems like they'd be a good-sized container to use for growing sprouts up to plant-out size, with some extra depth for roots but also not too big as far as soil and space required.

Good luck this season!

They were replanted once. At first I was using sprouter, then after two weeks I planted seeds in small pots(5-10 seeds) after a month and a half I choose the strongest ones and planted 1-3 per pot. Those are those in pictures, growing in growbox. Rest is growing in living room but to be honest I dont give them a chance since my apartment is rather cold and shaded.

For now all of them are in growbox with lamps on 24/7 and temp around 22C. When would be best moment to start trimming them? Should I at any point start simulating day/night cycle? I dont plan to plant them outside, I can only replant them to big pots and put them on balcony but that wont happen until june/august when temp outside will be above 20C.

There is no need to trim chili peppers.
Many use a 12 to 16 hour light cycle, it depends on how your plants react in your environment; I usually start with lots of light and then gradually reduce when the plants show me signs of too much. A dark phase is definitely good for them.
They also feel when it's night outside, this thing always fascinates me, so I would say it's better to have indoor light during the day.

I do trim but just for practical reasons... to keep them manageable while they can't be brought outside yet but also to have a low branched plant when I plan to overwinter it.
I use a 12 hours light cycle.

If I want to fit them in growbox I'll definitely need to trim them.

I'm looking forward to seeing them grow.
