I've never tried it because I don't have any of those pots with water dishes. Perhaps you should put two of your seedlings into the saucer pots and two into ordinary pots and then come back in the autumn and tell us which ones worked out best?

Those chilli plants are looking really healthy @sinderyt151R93x17HK They are young. Wait another week..... until they have four leaves. Transplant them into the pot they will grow in. Gently, with a knife, wiggle the plant out of the mother pot holding the leaves. Don't touch the root system, then with the knife make a hole in the home pot and cover with the compost/soil. Pat it down. Give them a drink.
Not too wet or they will be mild as @raisingirl (who has given you some super advice) and plenty of heat. When they get bigger, water them - maybe every second or third day - but not too much - they have to "suffer" a bit. Give them some fertiliser twice a month.
Follow the links that @Dovefromabove has given you. Every little piece of information is useful.
And lastly, send us photos!!! Good luck.
PS How is the basil coming along? Time to sow some more!

Thanks. The old and new basil is doing well. some of the old basil is starting to die its hard to see on those pictures as my grow lamp is off now, but some of the leaves are turning soggy so i guess you guys were right about the basil getting old.
The new basil is growing very good, i planted a bit to many seeds i think again but i will transplant them into each of their own pot when they grow bigger so it doesnt get so messed up in the flower pot like the first time. i remember you guys telling me i had to many basil close to each other and it would be issue for plants below to grow, so i will try to make it better this time Ive allowed the basil to flower aswell so i can take the seeds of this basil, the middle (thai basil) wont flower so much, only 1 have started to flower while all other basil beside it is flowering alot which could maybe be why it turns soggy?
Little update, i transplanted the new seedlings to each of their own pots, Looks much better now. hopefully it will make the chili and basil happier with a better yield/growth. Was a little scared i would destroy the roots or so but they seem to have survived it. When would you guys suggest to put them in a bigger pot or will these pots be enough.
As soon as you see little fine white roots appear in the holes in the bottom of the pot, it's time to move them on to the next size up
I agree, they do best when potted-on in stages and don't appreciate being planted in their final pots when small, which usually results in growth slowing down or stopping for a while.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
