Pinching Flowers

Should I be pinching flowers on a plant this small?

Many people do, the theory is to let growth go to the plant instead of the flower/fruit to get a stronger more productive plant.
 
I don't. No theory. :rolleyes:
I can afford to be less attentive because of where I'm at, except for a couple dormant periods each year I have growth year round.
 
Haven't tried side by side testing to see but others here have.

Thanks for the reply, I think I'm gonna just wait it out and see how it grows.

You know what I will go ahead and top it. I was holding off because I didn't want everything to get too bushy and crowd each other but you talked me into it.

A Svengoolie, amungst us.
 
My mom had a banana pepper plant last year, she refused to clip blooms or top.  She ended up with a foot and half tall plant for entire year that barely produced.
