You guys are just weird, suggesting this when the concern was already about them growing bushy instead of taller. The plants do not need trimmed. They are responding perfectly to the light available. Don't stunt the guy's potential grow just to try to promote a medium pepper yield instead of a large one.
This isn't quite Canada we're talking about. Homes County is only ~ 100 miles NE of me, the plant will have plenty of time to fork off naturally, many times before the first fall frost... unless the weather is unusually cold this fall which is anyone's guess.
