Wow! I’ve seen many videos about topping peppers, but I never saw one that showed all the stages–boy do they look healthy! I will certainly watch your channel for any hints on growing peppers. I just started growing them and though they grew well,they were all over the place and some even uprooted themselves during a wet spell–they were too tall.
Always been interested in this top but never top mine, get 7 ft tall hydro plants with ease and lots of fruit. Would be interesting to see a set of 6 cloned plants where 3 are topped and 3 are not to see a average difference in fruit yield! Thanks for sharing though :0)
Hey there Khang I just topped my pepper plant just below the Y, and after a week, little side shoots are starting to grow… Your advice was indeed helpful… I think my chilli plant was going to be very tall and skinny if I didn’t top it in time!
Thanks for taking the time to share your experiment. Really helpful for a beginning gardener like me! 🙂
I got 6 pepper plants and I haven’t topped none but because of your video I’m going to start topping them they are about a month-and-a-half almost 2 months into the ground they already started flowering and producing fruit but I think I can still top them
Nice video! Any advice on topping mid season in areas with really hot summers? Usually in central TX it is to hot for peppers to set fruit in mid July to mid August or later. I am thinking of topping now so by the time the weather cools they will bush back out. Do you recommend any nitrogen fertilizer after topping?
just wanted to say thanks for you videos, I have been subscribed to your channel for a short time and find your videos to be very straight forward and easy to understand so far. Thanks again and keep up the great work and I will expect my reapers and scorpions to turn out to be brutal and beautiful! thanks
What a helpful video….. I watched it a month ago, and thought I’d give this tutorial a try on some of my own Pepper plants.. The results so far are amazing.. Bushiest plants I’ve ever had.. They are very sturdy, and the stalks easily support the weight of all the side-shoots.. Thanks for posting..
I have been watching your videos more and more. Very informative I am growing indoors using hydroponics and an aquaponic system. The trimming method you have described has greatly influenced my plant growth.
Thank you for this! I would never have thought to top pepper plants more than a pinch if they get too leggy. The amount you removed made me cringe, but what good results. 5 minutes and 41 seconds of fantastic knowledge. That’s efficiency!
ive had a pepper plant growing for like a full year now indoors with decent light & minimum fresh air, its still kicking and getting huge, now growing 15 peppers per cycle
I was building up the courage to do this when a vicious hail storm swept through my area and did it for me. This only happened 2 weeks ago and already plants have bounced back far bushier than before and those that were previously struggling have taken off.
Great video! I’ve been trying to figure out how to make my pepper trees not gory straight up and rather out. I’m so glad I found this video, thank you so much!!
I’ve been watching your double cup videos and this one just now. You mention having to provide the right amount of light. It is obvious that there is adequate light, seeing such spectacular growth. When you are showcasing these plants, and they are being grown indoors, please mention the light that you are growing them under. It would be helpful to the beginners like me who are struggling to find appropriate lighting. Thank you for all the information that you provide. Your channel is among my favorites. Take care.
I am not gonna lie when I seen how much you cut off I was like whoa man, but as soon as I seen the results my jaw hit the floor HARD, this is absolutely stunning and I will DEFINITELY be trying this as I don’t grow peppers in pots over 1.5 gal so this would help loads
I worried about doing this because I live in PA and the growing season is short, but a little critter did it for me. What a bumper crop I had! This year, I am doing it myself!
I did this to a habanero plant that looked almost identical your plant and it never recovered. It tried to grow, but then went completely dormant, despite it being early in the growing season. I did it a day or two after putting it in it’s final big pot, and perhaps that and losing so much growth was too much stress for it. It was a beautiful pepper plant.
Thanks so much for this. I’m a pepper newbie. I’ve just been doing all this, including getting rid of a lot of leaves. I was so concerned whether it was ok so great to see this confirmation.
Many thanks!
thanks for getting to the point and not making it a long presentations, and thanks for the week 2 and 2 month update that shows in one video. This is what I like to see, straight to the point with updates. love it.
I have always been too scared to prune peppers but after seeing your results I think I will try it this year. Would you give me recommendations on how often and how much to feed/fertilize your plants in grow bags please?
