Trips - Pinching Chillies experiment

[SusieG]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum!
Started growing chillies this year and didn't realise you're supposed to do things like pinching etc. so finally did it last week to a few of then. Quite scary stuff but one of the purple tiger's are sprouting so thanks for the tips

Hi nikthomas! Enjoy your chilli growing - you'll find everything (and more ) that you need to know on the Vine.
Enjoy the advice and the sense of humour!!!

Don't forget pictures - we want to see your chillis!

Hello and welcome to the vine Nik
Have you got any photos? We would love to see how they are doing.

You may also be I interested in this thread, you can tell us what chillies you are growing and how they are doing throughout the season.

Thanks, I'll try and get some photos uploaded tonight. They're looking a bit sad now I've chopped some leaves off.

Trip, I'd say the 'pinching' experiment speaks for itself, judging by your photos - amazing ...!!!

Another update

Latest pic of a pinched Cayenne..really pleased with the bushiness of this one.
Then we have 2 Mucho Nacho; pinched one on the left, so although they are both nice plants and the non pinched one is taller, the pinched one is much more bushy
Then finally my Fuego Ibrido..again really good plants both of them...Pinched one on the left, and again showing way more in terms of bushiness and filling out...

pinching out has worked really well on them..coming along nicely.
