My bih jolokia is not even 6 inches tall. It didn't grow fast at all started off more like a little bush. It already has tiny little buds. Should i let them grow or pick em. The plant is not strong enough to stand the weight of big peppers. I really don't know what to do pick them or let them go.
 
Do you want the plant to continue to grow at the pace it has been? if so pinch them off If you want it to slow down on it's growing leave them on.

If you leave the buds on, the plant will use it's energy to grow and ripen them. If you pinch them off all that energy will go to growing bigger and stronger. I would pinch them.
 
Pinch baby pinch baby pinch baby....

I had the same thing happen with mine. I pinched all the flowers off and the growth explosion began. They've grown an extra 2"-3" since then.
