Topping Pepper Plants & Two Months Results

In many of my pepper videos, I have explained why and when to top peppers, but because it's part of a video grow log, people that have not followed the series have trouble finding it. In this video, I focus only on topping peppers. Please feel free to comment, like, subscribe or share the videos. As always, thank you for watching!

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 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.

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!

This came into my feed just the right time I'm growing peppers for the first time....I grow in pots I don't have the yard space to transplant in the ground
Thanks very much

Tanks for your videos. Often people start a video but never gets back to show the results. You always make complete logs. Cheers from South Africa!

What a helpful 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..

You are the king of low-end-super-simple successful hydroponics! :)

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.

Pruning greatly prolongs the time required for producing fruit. This CAN be made up with increased growth but only in areas with long growing seasons. It's why pruning is not so widespread in many parts of the US. By the time you get tomatoes or peppers in the ground in, say, Wisconsin, it's hard to throw away a months worth of production when you know the first frost will be in September. My peppers were still producing abundantly in November last year (Middle TN) so for me pruning was worth it.

Thank you, this video helped me in topping my pepper plant. Me and my pepper plant are very happy.

After watching and watching your videos, I topped all my baby annual flowers and they are growing like crazies ! Many new shoots in 3 days only and they look heathier and stronger. Yesterday I bought 2 baby Bask peppers, I'm giving it a try. Many many thanks !

Why am I watching this at 2:13 am? I am not even growing a plant.

Interesting, still.

Edit:
13th January, 2020: I have a vegetable garden now. Seriously.

Omg thank u so much. I am a beginner and when someone as me if I was going to top my new pepper plants, I told him that I just put top soil on it and he told me topping means cutting the tops off so I am here on YouTube to find out. So I love this video. Thanks

[paulk]

this works well on plants that you grow for the leaves like basil. it produces more leaves but i have not found it to produce more fruit. it just slows down the flowering which means you have to wait longer for peppers.

[mischermer]

Thank you for making this video. I have never topped my plants because I wasn't sure how and how much to remove and was afraid of permanently damaging plants. I had heard about it but no one ever showed me how to do so.

[Marie-pwdl]

I like your video because the continuation follows immediately in 1 video. The results can be seen immediately. Thanks!

[ashleystewart]

This was the BEST explanation and example of pruning your pepper plants. Thx

[jadvla]

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.

[Nuttyirishman]

I like how you say what someone would be thinking. Gives a really good perspective!
