[QUOTE=Rajun Gardener;605278]I wouldn't pinch it off at that stage of growth, let the plant grow till it forms a "Y" and then prune it below the Y. You'll get 3 times the production from pruning than you will if you let it grow. Not all peppers are the same so this works on some but not others.

What types of peppers would you suggest be pruned this way?
Does size of fruit play a role? DTM of the first pepper? Which peppers did not respond with an increase in productivity? Thanks.
