It is best not to let the first bloom set produce fruit if the plant is still small or it will not be as productive or as large later in the year. I usually pinch off any blooms til the plant gets about 18 inches tall so that the plant can better support the fruit and not be stunted by putting on fruit too soon. I usually let one or two plants produce early so I can have some early peppers but the plants tend to stay small after the first couple of peppers and take a long time to recover and they never match the ones that I cull the early blooms from.
