After reading I think you should keep the flowers on, and when the peppers start to grow, pick them sooner rather then later to get the maximum yield from the plant. |
thanks for the info it really helped. From what ive read bell peppers have two kinds of growth, somewhat similar to
marijuana but a little different. there is vegatative growth and fruiting growth. the plant will concentrate on one or the other more, but it isnt determined by lighting like with cannabus but genetics (from what i understand). you can sway the plant in one direction by doing certain things. So what it seems like is if there are too many fruits the plant will do an "abortion" and drop some of the fruit to concentrate on the others.
