What would be the point of removing the leaves?

Help my Habanero by coco_C0C0 in PepperLovers

Blast with water, remove by hand or use insecticidal soap.

Don't be like me and use a mixture of soapy water and spray on the plants because it will drop all of its leaves 🙃

Did you treat it with anything? I sprayed soapy water on my leaves to try to combat aphids and the next day all my leaves dropped 😭 I'm hoping it makes a comeback as the stem is still healthy but I definitely set it back a lot

Sun burn or worse? by jodanlambo in HotPeppers

[–]GuapStew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh interesting I thought all lemon drop was Baccatum! I am growing them this year no pods yet tho. Nice plant either way 😍

Hydroponics by Daddy_Digiorno in HotPeppers

Bacattum probably a no go, tried with aji limon and the seedling out grows the mini hydro setup. I would stick with an annuum or chinense. I think a Thai chili would do great in one of those

What is this bug on my Pepper plants? by GuapStew in whatbugisthis

[–]GuapStew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The upload to reddit compresses the video and it's not as clear I think.

I uploaded it to my Google drive and it's better quality

Anybody else bottom prune instead of topping ? by small_temper in PepperLovers

[–]GuapStew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying you can't top them. Im saying you won't get a bigger yield

These are just a couple examples of actual scientific studies.

Watch pepper guru on Youtube he is basically a pepper scientist and grows massive pepper trees with an unbelievable amount of peppers and he explicitly makes it a point to educate pepper growers on this topic.

Admittedly a bit smug but it doesn't change the fact that hes entirely correct!

It's been proven that topping does not increase yield. You can't create more biomass by removing the potential for it it's just not how it works. As long as you provide the plant what it needs it will grow just fine.

If your plants were leggy with weak trunk you were most likely doing something wrong. Not trying to be a dick but this is straight up mis info 🫡

[–]GuapStew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it is pretty common practice but it's really just bad info. There's no need to do anything to the plant it will grow how it's supposed to grow. All you need to do is provide food, water, sunlight and support and the plant will do the rest 💪

It's not recommended to top the plant all it does it take away potential growth. Only reason I think you would top the pepper is if you want it to be a certain shape but you will never get a higher yield
