In this video, I answer a common question for pepper growers: Should I pick early pepper flower buds? It is typical to see early flowers blooming on young, indoor pepper plants. The plants are entering the fruiting stage, but isn't it a bit early for them to produce peppers?

Pruning or cutting pepper flowers is a great way to increase pepper yields in the long run. As long as your growing season is long enough, you should cut any early flower buds to encourage the plants to grow more leaves and branches. Once the plants have been outdoors for 2-4 weeks, you can stop cutting off flowers and allow them to produce fruits.
