Topping Pepper Plants & Two Months Results
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2015
- In many of my pepper videos, I have explained why and when to top peppers, but because it's part of a video grow log, people that have not followed the series have trouble finding it. In this video, I focus only on topping peppers. Please feel free to comment, like, subscribe or share the videos. As always, thank you for watching!

thanks for getting to the point and not making it a long presentations, and thanks for the week 2 and 2 month update that shows in one video. This is what I like to see, straight to the point with updates. love it.
Ditto
Why am I watching this at 2:13 am? I am not even growing a plant.
Interesting, still.
Edit:
13th January, 2020: I have a vegetable garden now. Seriously.
Damn.. It is exactly 2:13 AM here now and I am also not even growing a plant. Spooky.
and here 8:43 pm which is kinda mirroring/flipping/upsidedown yours
haha
Lmfao me to i have to be up at 530 it's 10 past midnight
*im watching this at 7:10 PM pst and im not growing a chili plant BUTTTT, i am growing many other plants and have houseplants*
Tanks for your videos. Often people start a video but never gets back to show the results. You always make complete logs. Cheers from South Africa!
I am not gonna lie when I seen how much you cut off I was like whoa man, but as soon as I seen the results my jaw hit the floor HARD, this is absolutely stunning and I will DEFINITELY be trying this as I don’t grow peppers in pots over 1.5 gal so this would help loads
Thank you, this video helped me in topping my pepper plant. Me and my pepper plant are very happy.
You are the king of low-end-super-simple successful hydroponics! :)
Great video! I’ve been trying to figure out how to make my pepper trees not gory straight up and rather out. I’m so glad I found this video, thank you so much!!
Thank you for the beautiful flowers that you give us. Have a good weekend
I love mountains so much❤
I've been watching your double cup videos and this one just now. You mention having to provide the right amount of light. It is obvious that there is adequate light, seeing such spectacular growth. When you are showcasing these plants, and they are being grown indoors, please mention the light that you are growing them under. It would be helpful to the beginners like me who are struggling to find appropriate lighting. Thank you for all the information that you provide. Your channel is among my favorites. Take care.
I was building up the courage to do this when a vicious hail storm swept through my area and did it for me. This only happened 2 weeks ago and already plants have bounced back far bushier than before and those that were previously struggling have taken off.
I like how you say what someone would be thinking. Gives a really good perspective!
A very excellent video!!! Thank you so much. I did not know to do this to my pepper plants. You did a great job getting to the point and showing the pictures!!!
The stalks on your plant is awesome! I have never grew peppers before but this summer I plan to and I'm following your advice and topping them.
That's because it's hydroponic.
What a helpful video..... I watched it a month ago, and thought I'd give this tutorial a try on some of my own Pepper plants.. The results so far are amazing.. Bushiest plants I've ever had.. They are very sturdy, and the stalks easily support the weight of all the side-shoots.. Thanks for posting..
Omg thank u so much. I am a beginner and when someone as me if I was going to top my new pepper plants, I told him that I just put top soil on it and he told me topping means cutting the tops off so I am here on UA-cam to find out. So I love this video. Thanks
Well I just did as you showed in the video and I’m so glad you showed exactly how to do it! I know in concept it’s so easy to do but put to practice you really feel like you are cutting off the best part of the plant and really seems counterintuitive!!!
Thank you for this! I would never have thought to top pepper plants more than a pinch if they get too leggy. The amount you removed made me cringe, but what good results. 5 minutes and 41 seconds of fantastic knowledge. That's efficiency!
Just found this video. Omg this is just insane. Love it!!!!
I have been watching your videos more and more. Very informative I am growing indoors using hydroponics and an aquaponic system. The trimming method you have described has greatly influenced my plant growth.
Top notch production quality. I love seeing progress in one video.
Great videos watched quite a few now, keep up the good work, thanks for all the advice
Wow! I've seen many videos about topping peppers, but I never saw one that showed all the stages--boy do they look healthy! I will certainly watch your channel for any hints on growing peppers. I just started growing them and though they grew well,they were all over the place and some even uprooted themselves during a wet spell--they were too tall.
This was the BEST explanation and example of pruning your pepper plants. Thx
Love the style of your video...updates...not too much talk, and just enough...Just subscribed and clicked the bell....THANK YOU!!
Thanks for this video. This was one of the hardest things I had to do my garden, and I have to say it paid off. Though but necessary decision.
I love this comment. I did mine yesterday and i was afraid i was hurting it. But i hope it is rewarding.
This came into my feed just the right time I'm growing peppers for the first time....I grow in pots I don't have the yard space to transplant in the ground
Thanks very much
You should check out some of the self-watering container concepts. They're great for growing w/ minimum space and cost. Look up "Gardening with Leon", if you haven't already.
My suspicion is is that google heard you talking about your pepper plant and started giving you suggestions for it.
Thank you for this advice Khang. I Just started growing some chili plants and the topping advice helped.
Your plants are beautiful. I’m gonna try this with my pepper plants. Thank you!
Well, I'm going to be brave and top n trim my plants this year.....Khang, you are a pepper plant God. 😉
Man Aww man! You'r pepper plants are impressive. I just topped a bell pepper plant as an experiment. Hope it works!
Did it work?
Thank you for making this video. I have never topped my plants because I wasn't sure how and how much to remove and was afraid of permanently damaging plants. I had heard about it but no one ever showed me how to do so.
After watching and watching your videos, I topped all my baby annual flowers and they are growing like crazies ! Many new shoots in 3 days only and they look heathier and stronger. Yesterday I bought 2 baby Bask peppers, I'm giving it a try. Many many thanks !
I like your video because the continuation follows immediately in 1 video. The results can be seen immediately. Thanks!
I've grown peppers for 30 years outside. No need to top plants if you want the most production. Pick the peppers often and the plant will create more.
Clip doesnt show any fruit. Just leaves.
I agree with that statement and I have been farming organically for 25years.
Topping pepper plants stunts growth and sets it back for a while. Under studies done where 100 plants were left to grow naturally and 100 that were 'topped', the plants left to grow naturally on their own consistently did better overall percentage wise.
Everyone does everything differently.
Thanks for this information. It' the same for Kentucky Wonder Green Beans. The more you pick, the more you get.
I am very happy to have found this video! I have not had as much success with my peppers as I'd like. I am sure this would be extra helpful! Thanks!
Great video. very informative. I very much appreciated you video taping the time sequence. Many folks posts great videos about the subject but see the results makes the video that much more interesting. Thank you
Makes this season the mistake and didn't topping the chili's :( so they are very long and unstable) so this was a lesson for me, next season I'm going into topping 👍🏻
You dont have to top the plant to achieve desired results. Pull all the leaves off the bottom of the pepper plant and it will signal the plant to make off-shoots. I never top and all my plants have multiple off-shoots, even up to 8 or 10 offshoots on some.
this works well on plants that you grow for the leaves like basil. it produces more leaves but i have not found it to produce more fruit. it just slows down the flowering which means you have to wait longer for peppers.
Agreed.
Thank you for saying this. I'm just starting out and I was thinking the same and it's good to hear it confirmed from someone else.
More branches means more peppers, at least in the following year
catwithoutthe hat .. Wow! I wouldn’t know how to act if I had a plant produce 10 peppers, let alone 3 or 4 times as many! I’m going to prune mine tomorrow. Never knew to prune until I watched this video, along with several others tonight. I hope I get lots of peppers. :)
Yes. I agree 100%. The fruits are amazingly many +++
Thanks for taking the time to share your experiment. Really helpful for a beginning gardener like me! :)
I’ve followed these instructions and it worked perfectly. Thanks for this video
You have some awesome looking plants . I top 50 % of mine after they are outside in containers but whatever you are using for nutrients is far better than what I am using .
HoschtonBoy Thanks! I am using Masterblend 4-18-38.
Perhaps I should try that.
+Khang Starr What is that? Where do you purchase it?
Julia DiGaetani Masterblend is a water soluble hydroponic nutrients. You don't have to use this particular brand, any hydroponic nutrients will work, but it may require you to mix them differently.
I first learned to do this with a weed plant
who cares you pothead
blakespower I never said I smoked it clitdick.
Polo Life thanks dude 😍😍😍
WOW that is one beautiful pepper plant!!
Thanks so much for this. I’m a pepper newbie. I’ve just been doing all this, including getting rid of a lot of leaves. I was so concerned whether it was ok so great to see this confirmation.
Many thanks!
It’s a little scary but I plan to try this. Thank you for the clear instructions!
Would have been better if you'd had a control plant that you didn't trim so you could compare side by side with the topped plant after 2 months.
Yes. To a novice, like me, it looks like you've gone back to square one after all the original leaves were removed.
Exactly. Maybe Khang, what you are promoting is valid but the way you have presented it is thoroughly unscientific and unconvincing.
Repeatedly destroying growth to promote growth?
In order to convince me you would have to show many plants planted at the same time... half of them topped and half not... in the same soil to the same conditions and measure how much fruit they produce over a season.
For example you are putting these plants so far behind it may be that the untopped plant would actually put out just as much fruit over the same period of time because they got a head start in bearing. There are so many bogus videos on UA-cam. I'm not saying yours is bogus because I have no way of knowing without further research. But it is thoroughly unconvincing and lacking in critical and even minimal evidence.
I am still tasked with the job of researching this in order to find out if you or are right or not.
takencareofbidness
You don't have to research it, really. When you top a plant, it sends up shoots. Each shoot buds and fruits like another plant. So instead of five or ten peppers per plant, you can get twenty or more. Same thing with trimming leaves. The more growth that is being generated, the more leaves there are, and the more leaves, the more fruit the plant can support growing. Pretty basic stuff.
I'm not your dear.
takencareofbidness
Who cares whose dear you are not? If you couldn't come up with a good comeback in a whole day, just say nothing. 😁
Thanks for sharing this Khang. I may top a few of my outdoor plants this way and see how they respond.
Amazing - I had to see it to believe it! Great video
What fertilizers did you use and how often? Thank you for a very detailed and to-the-point-video.
Very informative videos, thank-you! Question: How early should I start topping them? I have some young seedlings that have been growing for about 4 weeks now.
Did you even get an answer? I was wondering the same thing.
Very beautiful transformation! I'll try this to my jalapeno and habanero plants. Never knew how simple
really enjoying all your videos. thank you for taking the time to post them. This is my first super hot pepper season. Hoping I will be as successful as you someday.
Don't be scared people it works every time. Good vid thanks :)
bri bro Unless the cut gets infected and the plant dies, I prefer gently bending the top over and tie it down with string, same results!
Prof. how do you make your own white no toxic glue?
+m. mouskovitz *wink wink* ;)
Simon Petrus you naughty boy 😱
“The plant needs the leaves” ... proceeds to cut off almost every single leaf
That’s Khang for ya lol
Plant lives...
😅
2 1/2 months later you have what you began with just with a jungle of leaves, wrong way to prune a pepper plant.
But where are all tge baby peppers. Youre wasting your and our time.
seems like a really strong and healthy plant. good job friend and GOD BLESS.
Gorgeous plant!! I just topped my Piñata plants because they were about 6" high and bent over just from the weight of water drops on leaves or a fair wind.
I had NO idea, I have about 350 seedlings at the moment of various kinds, I am going to have my work, literally cut out for me!!!!
Topped a habanero = started growing horizontally aka in a 90 degree angle.
Month later: topped again.
Now(2 months later): it is a bush full of flowers ready to be pollinated
Last edit: crazy summer in finland
I got new idea,I can now apply to my pepper plants.thank you so much😊 watching from Philippines
Excellent video, even with the lapse of updates. Very informative, also interesting so see how they do in hydro culture. Thanks.
When you pointed at the plant and called it ready it seemed to get a little disappointed. :D
Does this topping work the same for most peppers? Same cutting procedures? Just afraid the fruit would be too heavy on a short plant
+PharmSilver Yes, it will work for most if not all peppers; I have done this with many different types of peppers with much success. The weight of the fruit is more of an issue on a tall and skinny plant. Also, by stressing the pepper plant, the fruit will usually get hotter.
If the plant senses the fruit is getting heavy, it will grow a thicker stem.
This is why you can actually grow watermelon up on a Nylon web.

Plants look amazing! Awesome video!
Those plants are absolutely beautiful
I'm a little scared at attempting this, however, I'll give it a go.
Update?
Yes update?
Delighted to give you an update. I have six, healthy jalapeno chilli plants. Nice and bushy. Sorry for delay responding, I'm new to this UA-cam business.
I top and strip all my pepper plants from leaves when ever i get a aphid infestation. The plants don't seem to give 2 shit's 'bout it .
how can your plant be that big after only 2 months? where do you live?
TheBanAna
Hydroponics, bruh.
You show the best topping videos out there. Thank you sir.
you've got very healthy beautiful plants. thanks for sharing.
What kind of pepper plants are these ?
I need to see your fruit production because of topping----not just leaves.
Exactly….he's bragging about a bushy plant 2 and half months after pruning, I'm already eating peppers by that time....
@@Leo.407 The pods and flowers are all over. maybe take a harder look
You should watch his videos before making a comment like this
Hi Khang Starr. I just found your channel and wanted to say thank you for your excellent content.
Thanks for the video. One of the better ones I've seen on the subject.
What difference does it make if you don't top the plant?
+Vinod Karia Topping is a preference. I like topping my plants because it promotes more sides shoot to grow. This will make a nice canopy when everything is fully grown out. More branches equal more fruits.
Thanks for your advise
+Khang Starr Wont that produce a less quality harvest because all of the plants energy is having to go to so many places? I have my worries with this method even thought it seems logical..It just doesn't seem natural. Your also causing the plant so much trauma and it is working extra hard to survive. Please provide a valid explanation other than preference, I need to understand fully before I take this advice. I am still learning and trying things too.
it is Natural!
think if the plant out in the wild...
an animal comes along and starts eating a few leaves
the plant responds with new bushier growth!
--Rick
Topping the plant means you cut the main stem and the new growth will have two stems instead of 1. By breaking the apex of the plant, it forces the plant to put all its energy into the lower shoots, and so the plant grows more bushy than tall, and by doing so..more of the plant gets light as oppose to just the top, and you have more fruit at harvest time! Removing all the leaves though as was done in this video is overkill in my opinion and is not necessary, delays production for nothing. Top the plant once or twice and remove 'a few' fan leaves at most, not all!
Does it work with human beings ?
Yes, I cut my head off and 2 weeks later I was sprouting 3 new arms
yes kinda... i cut my dick i am now 1 big bush of dicks.
just wanted to say thanks for you videos, I have been subscribed to your channel for a short time and find your videos to be very straight forward and easy to understand so far. Thanks again and keep up the great work and I will expect my reapers and scorpions to turn out to be brutal and beautiful! thanks
Your voice is so soothing- I love it!
you trimmed the leafes because it was too bushy, then two months later its 100x more bushy...
Innocent lemon taking that first topping makes the plant growth hormone go everywhere else, and the plant doesn't get "leggy" when you do this.
Although I had no idea that they'd become anywhere near this "bushy,"
@@horseblinderson4747 getting a less "leggy" plant is not really something to aim for. The plant gets leggy for a reason. the reason is a to little DLI and a wrong spectrum, therefore the plant actually needs to be more leggy to archieve its full photosynthetic potential. Topping it will result in shading by its own leafs which doesnt add up to the same photosynthetic yield as it would otherwise. greetings
this tricks isgood also for marijuana
I think that's were topping, FIMing, LST etc came from.
Definitely isn't for poppies though
Dave Kent poppies make lots of seeds
Absolutely
cali budz absolutely
Yesterday I discovered your channel and I LIKE VERY MUCH
Insane!!! what a cool video. I thought you were crazy grooming all those leaves but what a beautiful result.
Looks obvious, but when he says "Top", he means PRUNE, right??
Yes, I’ve grown peppers before but have never pruned but I will in about a week. In watching video’s, I’ve learned after topping-actually cutting off the top-you should have 6-8 leaves left on the plant. I can’t wait to see them bush out.
Not EXACTLY. “Topping” is specifically cutting the current top of the plant, forcing the plant to send new growing outward. “Pruning” is referring to cutting any growing, but usually the side shoots, not the top.
Wow thanks for this video! Took my serrano pepper plant and topped it recently in a DWC system and it's gone crazy! Also noticed you live in DFW!! I'm in Fort Worth! Here is my grow room -> imgur.com/a/ZxaPb
lol thats funny im in dallas and im about to get some ring of fire peppers off the launchpad. no picks of my growroom yet its still a work in progress lol. do you guys have any source on hydroponic pepper growing its hard to find online

Awwww I love the Gerber containers 😭❤️
Thanks for this wonderfully explained video.
It's like a cosmetic surgery for the plant.
Thanks for posting. Didn't know that.
I've let my two Habanero plants acquired in AU Spring (10 Sep), to the elements.
It is now January 19. Snails, or caterpillars damaged leaves.
But both have started to fruit a lot. And now in January (Very Hot Season) over 100's of new buds appeared.
Planning to prune, beginning of Jun, heavy! Use pallets and fish fertilizer.
Nice video. Got a bell pepper plant in a 5 gallon that I have not done this to, after seeing this I'm so going to now. Thanks!
Daniel Witzel Thanks, Daniel!
Really a great video, thank you for sharing this with us.
Like the video brother and you video the way you did it is perfect. The way you explain it and camera point of view is great! Keep up the outstanding work and more videos!
Brilliant video, I’ve tried this myself and it works!! Thanks
Nice results with that plant...great looking plant. I tend to pinch back my plants pretty aggressively when they are young as well....and tend to "2nd guess" myself about it....but the long range results seem pretty good.
Very good video! I get confused easily, but this was clear and very informative.😀
Thank you for the video. It has made topping for the first time, very easy for me!
Thank you for this video!!!!! Very helpful for me and my peppers!!!
I do like your video how to grow plants and thank you for sharing.
The plant is just cute I can't help it 😍nice video
Thank you for this! I am new to gardening; I put a pepper plant outside in soil, and it has given me a TON of peppers already. But I want to do the indoor, and have also been struggling with knowing how to top off properly. You answered my questions wonderfully! Thanks again, and God bless!
margenlou1 You're welcome!
Very healthy looking peppers.
Very informative video. I recently started Trinidad Scorpion Pepper seeds, and keeping my fingers crossed they mature into healthy trees like yours.
excellent video! thank you so much! respect from brazil
