Hey everyone, my Scotch Bonnets are hitting their first "Y" fork at only 4 to 5 inches tall (approx 12cm).
They were started indoors under high-intensity LEDs, so they have very thick stems and tight node spacing, but they just aren't gaining height.
Is it normal for them to fork this short, or are they stunted? I'm moving them to 12-gallon pots soon and I’m worried they’ll never grow big enough to fill the space. Should I keep pinching the flowers to force more height?
Thanks for any help!

They will grow like crazy once you repot them.
They are perfect. You gave them lots of light so they grew short and thick. Some will branch sooner than others. Not done growing, they are just starting. Keep up with fertilizer, and repotting, and they should get many times bigger. I never remove any flowers.
