Im growing sweep peppers for the first time this year

Some books say you should pinch them out when they are 6-8" tall... some say 12"... some say don't pinch them out at all... what dose everyone else do?

Just read the back of my sweet pepper seed packet and it doesn't mention pinching them out.

They seem to branch when they want to, depending on the variety you have.
I pinched one out and left the other two to see if it made any difference.
All it did was delay flowering on the one i pinched..........now, a good few weeks later they all look about the same anyway!
So i would say don't bother.

I haven't pinched mine and some are on their third batch of peppers.

sounds good to me... I'll leave them

Thanks for the advice!
