Stripping peppers off Immature Plants

[SavinaRed]

My Habs, Serrano and Jalapeno plants are all doing well. They are not huge by any means but producing lots of pods. They are from 18-24 inches. Now my superhots are another story. They are all small with the biggest plant being a moruga which is about 12-15 inches and very healthy looking. The rest are all 6-12 inches in my 1-5gal containers. I think I might be giving them to much water so I'm cutting back. The temps this weekend will be over 100* so hopefully the roots go deep looking for water. Here is a pic of the nicest one the Moruga. the 2nd pic which is my 2nd healthiest and next in size super is a reaper. All my other plants are smaller. Hopefully this July they will grow.

I just need a mantra that I can follow when growing my peppers.  "Relax and don't worry them so much"  Fussing them can take the fun right out of it. 
 
Th problem is, I know it, and then I worry them anyway!  Habits are hard to change.
 
I am retiring in a month, and figure I will be out in the garden a lot, assigning action items and ECD's!

Enjoy your retirement...and yeah stop fussin lol....
