HARD PRUNING OUR GREENHOUSE BELL PEPPERS (3 branch system)

Well, some of you will probably think this is a crazy way to prune our peppers! This is how we have pruned our peppers for many seasons with great success and fantastic production. (3 branch system)
You will see that the plants look a little pathetic after the pruning, but the next day they were looking happy as can be! I will do an update video or photo post to show you what they now look like, just a day later.
When we first started pruning like this, it was heartbreaking to cut those extra branches off, but it was so worth it!
This Greenhouse variety of Bell Peppers are called RIAZOR RED BELL PEPPER from PARAMOUNT SEEDS (out of Florida)
I also want to apologize again for the sound in one clip, as Jess didn't realize she was covering the mic. It was too late to redo by then. so turn up your volume if you can't hear it.
Have a great day everyone, and I'll post a picture or short update vid to show the difference tomorrow!
ENJOY!

[@curiouscat3384]

@@Growwiththelaplantes Really? The only time my free range chickens make that much noise is when they are UNhappy. During the day it's when they are complaining to each other over the nesting box because they all want to use the same one at the same time (instinctively trying to build a clutch for someone to sit on and hatch). There's also a brief period in the evening when they haggle over who gets the corner roost space at bed time. Sounds to me like your chickens are overcrowded.

Its been years since I had a garden. Planted tomatoes, bell peppers, yellow crooked neck squash, cucumbers and carrots. The bell peppers plants (4 of them about three feet tall) have two peppers between the four of them. Suggestions or thoughts? They get plenty of sun. How did you manage so many peppers before you even pruned them?

[@crosscourtace]

Enjoyed the video. I do a lot more pruning now since watching your channel for sure. What are you using to secure your strings at the bottom?

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

This is so great to hear!! We only secure the string to the base of the plant with the tomato hook

Super !

[@426superbee4]

Peppers are like tomato's they like the same things, I kept the both Naked almost! i strip a lot of leave off, to grow more and bigger fruit, and it give the plant more air flow and sun light! Plus easier to spot insect as well ! I got this ideal from a Locust attack few yrs back. The plants was strip down 2 weeks later OMG THE GROWTH , there was more and bigger fruit on the plants as well. I been doing this every since the attack> But i don't strip them down as bad as they did! pepper starts fruit on the double leaves, LEAVE THEM! take off the single leaves NOW Tomato's Let them get up to about 4' Then take taking off the growth 3' from the tops, Use the big sucker to clone more tomato's! As the leaves get bigger, trim off the tips of the leave about 2" from the end of the leaf. i grow fruit! Not leaves!>> This give the pepper and tomato's more air flow, sun light to the roots, and easier to spot insects

Greenhouse peppers are indeterminate, which means they continue to grow upwards. Bush peppers are determinate, which means they stay short and bushy.

May I ask what is your trick to getting your pepper plants so nice and big before you plant into the ground?? I started my seeds early (like at end of February) indoors. And yet when it was time at end od May to plant they were still hardly 7 or 8 inches tall.

[@evolutionfilms1]

Yall cooked those chickens yet?

[@tomboalogo]

It would be great if you pruned a pepper, marked it with a tag and then showed it again 2-4 weeks later. On another note, have you done a video on your drip tape? What brand you use? How long per day is it on? Flow rate? All that technical stuff. Thanks

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

Yes, That's a great idea! And yes, we have done videos on all the above. maybe it's time to do a new one? 😉

[@tomboalogo]

@@Growwiththelaplantes I found that drip tape video - thanks. You seem to be using the same blue line tape I have bought from William Dam seeds in a kit. I'll look at Dubois tho since Dam doesn't seem to be selling much of that stuff anymore. How much time do you have the drippers on in the greenhouse? A couple hours? probably depends on the crop, no?

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

We purchased High flow drip tape fro Dubois, and I generally run it 1 hr. on the morning , noon and night. but if it's a cloudy day, I sometimes only run for an hour in the morning. keep an eye on your soil, and you will get the hang of it.

[@jeraldtucker7469]

My question is, why don't you start your pruning when the plant are younger? I think starting the pruning process earlier would promote a stronger plant base and probably yield more fruit, you would also not shock the plants, and you would also save some time.

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

That was our intention, but time got away. it's definitely easier to do when plants are younger but sometimes we get so busy, it's hard to keep up.

I don’t like this method. Sorry. I keep seeing this. But to me, you’re reducing your peppers.

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

That's absolutely fine if you aren't comfortable doing this. we are only showing what works for us. Our production is way up when we do this. More ventilation, less insects, less deformed and softened peppers = happier plants and plentiful large peppers. When we first started doing this, we felt the same as you. We tried it ( because that's what we do) and well, here we are!
