So, new to growing this season. I unfortunately didn't space my plants as far apart as I could have, so there is that. I have currently in a 4'x 8' bed, from right to left, 2 jals(1 front 1 back), 2 serrano (Same, etc), 4 habs, 4 red carribean habs, ghost pepper (1) and carolina reaper (1). I read SOMEWHERE when my habs didn't seem to be doing anything but sitting there that you should remove leaves and stems a certain amount from the base where the compost touches stem and ALSO you could remove leaves pointing inward/leaves where it bunched up, stopping airflow. I did this once and the next day the plants seemed to grow inches!
My question is, do you regularly prune out leaves where it bulks up/hides peppers? My plants all seem very "bushy" to me, especially the habs and red habs, but I also don't wanna mess with the way it should be done.
Been dying for an answer to this question since I started growing, but didn't belong here yet and no one asked this question on the internet anywhere, lol.
Thanks!
