Caveat: Don’t prune peppers if you have a short growing season, as topping slows the plant’s development too much. For large varieties like bell peppers, topping is not recommended because the yield increase isn’t significant enough to be worth the effort.

Other gardeners have entirely different results. Hell, Jacques himself had different results!
37 is almost 3×15?
That’s less than 2.5 times
It got top and prospered, imagine that
you can do this on cannabis too
I wonder what other plants would have similar reactions?
Prone the lower leaf works too
This makes me less mad at my dog for snapping my pepper plant in half! 😂 She can’t help it, Doxie’s are short, she was just doing QC and things happened. But I feel better now 🎉
I feel like if you start your own peppers, topping them isn't so bad because you can just start them ~2 weeks early to give them time to heal. If you get starts, I probably wouldn't top them because they're going to branch out normally anyway.
Step one. Live in San Diego.
Duh.
2x🧐🧐🧐
you should try this with s bigger sample size
Will this work with carolina reapers
Classic use of botany cutting shoot tips causes less auxins release and overcome apical dominance
7 is way more? ok
Can I do this on two year old plants? Zone 9b
I do the same thing to my weed bushes lol
Almost 2.5x no where close to 45
Top the two new tops and you’ve got a manifold. Way more pot that way.
The idea is very impressive I did not expect it to be this good.
It's 2.5× … which is almost 3x, which is close to 5x, rounding up that's 10x, so basically 50x
