    Are these plants or seeds that you have?

    My rule of thumb is to treat chilli plants pretty much like greenhouse bush tomatoes, but a bit drier.

    Yup - me too.
    My chilis and peppers share my g/house with tomatoes and cucumbers and as Dove says treat the same as the toms, just keep a bit drier.
    Also, start feeding with a tomato feed every 10ish days when the first flowers start to open. They need lots of light and heat to ripen properly in the UK
    Good luck and I hope you manage to blow your head off :)
