My chilli plants are coming on fine now but i was thinking . Can i pinch out the small leaves growing between the stem & the main leaves similar to the way we do it to tomato plants? Will it help the plants concentrate more on the flowers with less foliage to sort out?
this question was asked by someone earlier today. The answer is no. If you do this you won't get lots of flowers or chillis. If anything you can pinch out the top so that you get more small leaves, more flowers and then more chillis. You'll have a bushier plant but nothing excessive.

Hi Waz
this question was asked by someone earlier today. The answer is no. If you do this you won't get lots of flowers or chillis. If anything you can pinch out the top so that you get more small leaves, more flowers and then more chillis. You'll have a bushier plant but nothing excessive.
Just checked back and I think you asked earlier today.
