Hi All,
I’m growing a few different hot pepper varieties this year. Some of them, like these red Vesuvius Thai peppers (there are two separate plants in the pics, one is a bit smaller than the other) are trying to flower. Ive been pinching them off for the last two weeks as I want them to concentrate on root and greenery growth. But it’s getting to the point where there are a ton of flowers that want to happen. In about 1-2 weeks I will be transplanting them into their final homes (7gal pots).
Should I stop pinching the flowers? I want bigger plants and just worried they will stop growing and focus on the fruit and overall I will end up with less peppers.

no pinching
Do not pinch anything. If the plant doesnt have the energy to produce it will drop the flower. Do not pinch, prune or top
