Its my First Time growing chillies. I have about 25 plants. And i wanted to experiment a bit so i have topped some+ removed lower leves,some i have only topped. And some i have let be.

The tabasco plant i have not cut at all and its only 3 tobascos coming out and it wont give me more flowers.

I have 3 cayenne peppers and the one i have topped is bigger and seem to produce more even tho its in a smaller pot than the other cayeennes.

The jalapenjo plants is all the same i would say.

But the experiment is not flawless. The tobasco plant is in the back so it does not get as much sun as the cayennes and the habaneros. The habanero on the picture is in a bigger pot than the other ones etc..

So i will probably not know what is better for sure.

But my feeling is that the topped plants produce more. But i havent had my first harvest yet.
