Topping pepper plans for better production

Thanks Jeff, great info😊💖😊

I decided to do an experiment. Two pepper plants grown from the same seed packet, identical build. One I topped the other one i let grow naturally. Same growing conditions and same fertilization program. I have a long growing season and want to see which one produces more for me.

I'm hoping you come back with an update. I personally don't see an increase in harvests per plant when topped off (I keep track of harvests from year to year so I know this for sure). However the benefit of a bushier plant with a thicker stem is that it needs less effort to support it and if it's a smaller variety pepper plant with smaller peppers then it needs no support. That's why I do top off some pepper plants.

Can we do the same to tomatoes?
