You could "Stop" them when you have 3 or 4 pairs of leaves on the stems,
this will give you a better plant and more flowers.

and do use slug pellets.......I had a customer who planted out 16 plants,
forgot to put down slug pellets and lost the lot the first night.

douse them and the soil with quintuple strength coffee.
