Pepper productivity, remove first full size peppers when green? - Page 3

Looks like some don't care so far, but still early.
Alma looks sensitive. One loaded at plant out, hasn't grown much, next to it one had fewer peppers, but plant is twice the size, and catching up on fruit load already. Small one is not flowering, large one is.
Future years I will split my bets, leave loaded plants for early harvest, and remove some fruit from some at plant out for bigger numbers.
