When should I stop plucking the early blooms off my peppers and let them grow?

It's your choice. Different strokes, as they say. Personally, I'm not a topper or a pincher or a plucker, etc. I just let the plant do what it's gonna do.

From what I gather plucking early blooms is typically for getting the plant to focus energy on growing taller/bigger or what not. When fruits grow the plant prioritizes that first and foremost. Bigger plants obviously produce larger yields. So, I would say once the plant gets as big as you desire then stop plucking.

I agree when the plants are small under the lights however when you harden them off just plant them & leave them be.

From everything I've read, after the first round are done you should stop. I don't do it at all.

You could remove the flower buds if they are present during repotting to encourage more roots
