    Hi all
    I'm currently growing seedlings of scotch bonnet...trinidad scorpion..bhut jolokia and carolina reaper chillies....I've had moderate success over the last couple of years ...my question is whether to pinch out the tips or let them grow naturally....I always allow them to grow naturally....but opinions seem to be 50/50 on whether to pinch or not .....I'm going to experiment myself this year by pinching some out at about 10 inches ....has anybody found what really is the best option ??
    Regards
    Alan

    Hi,

    There is a dedicated Chillies 2020 thread that might help, also have a look at the Chillies 2019 very long thread, bound to be plenty of good info there.
