Hi Pepper growers,
I am hoping for a huge increase in my pepper harvest next season and got a little bit over eager (maybe) and started a lot of seedlings already, months before they can get planted outside.
Currently, they are just in tiny little 4cm x 4cm pots but i plan to put them into 8.5cm x 8.5cm pots and grow them under fluorescent light through winter, my question is- will this work ok if i keep topping them to stay short and then prune the root ball prior to planting outside?
I will be doing the same with sweet peppers, unless some experienced growers think this is a bad idea....
Thanks for any advice.
