Good info man I've only been growing peppers for 3 years now.. never topped them until this year. And thanks, means a lot.. it's been harder this year for how crippled I am but it's getting done.

I only learnt about topping when i started buying foot high plants from nurseries they were always topped once before selling....your going well man keep on going i would say just top the once at this stage to get two main shoots going prob aim for a topping around 15 to 30cm tall maybe ?

Top it at the second true node and get 4 tops like cannabis? I am going to try that on next batch of chilis ~19-20th

Yep thats the aim...only needs to be topped once if done properly then they will turn into bushes in their own right

I topped all my plants down to the 2nd node and it looks naked up there. Cant wait for them to start blowing the fuck up. They are just starting to pop up 4 main leaf sets

I cut all mine back pre winter to what looked like just a stick almost and then when weather was better transplanted to the ground they have gone mad with growth

this year my temps are still pretty warm VN so instead of hanging out in an open shed like last year this year im trimming best I can then laying in single layers in cardboard boxes and then putting in a cupbard (in the shed) but with a door open to let air in and out...will dry a lot slower that way as I noticed the wonder woman dried a bit to quick out in the open.Best I can give ya bro that's how im doing it but others may have better ideas?

I was hanging mine in tent an air controlled room and it still dries too fast. Will get some boxes and see if that slows it down

im just thinking the boxes with the sides dry a lil slower cos air only comes and goes from the top..gotta shake em round once a day tho but like I said only my way when its to hot still outside

Yeah the boxes should slow it down. Will hang them in boxes and put a circulating fan in the room, opening them once a day, for a week. That should do it
