If the pots they're in are around 6 to 7 inches ( 15 to 18 cm) diameter, you could pot into the final ones Jamie, but only if they're really filling the pot well
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Is there any benefit to potting up again or is it too quick really. I think they are growing fast because i have them in the conservatory during the day
Ah - I didn't realise the pots were so small. Pot on into bigger ones when the roots are filling those - burying them up to the first set of proper leaves. It's normal to pot on a couple of times before they go in the final size of pot
They will be growing quickly if they're in a conservatory! Just keep them well supported, and if it gets really hot, you may have to use a bit of ahde netting to stop them overheating. Even up here, and at this time of year, a conservatory gets very hot. I've grown a good crop before in a conservatory, but you have to be really vigilant with watering, shading and ventilation - especially when they're little.

Thanks again fairygirl. Really appreciate your help.
I will pot them up again soon to slightly bigger pots. I was going to use plastic pint cups from morrisons and put drainage holes in the bottom. Do you think these would be big enough as the last pot before the bigger final 15-20 litre pots ?

Hi thanks again
The pots they are in the now are two sizes. Some at 3 inches and some at 4 inches.
Maybe i should pot them up again and give them another 2 weeks. Just dont want to keep potting them up and stressing them.
Thanks again
Jamie
