      Have you got any photos? We would love to see how they are doing.

      You may also be I interested in this thread, you can tell us what chillies you are growing and how they are doing throughout the season.

      Thanks, I'll try and get some photos uploaded tonight. They're looking a bit sad now I've chopped some leaves off.

          I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives....

              Trip, I'd say the 'pinching' experiment speaks for itself, judging by your photos - amazing ...!!!

                Another update

                Latest pic of a pinched Cayenne..really pleased with the bushiness of this one.
                Then we have 2 Mucho Nacho; pinched one on the left, so although they are both nice plants and the non pinched one is taller, the pinched one is much more bushy
                Then finally my Fuego Ibrido..again really good plants both of them...Pinched one on the left, and again showing way more in terms of bushiness and filling out...

                  pinching out has worked really well on them..coming along nicely.
