Disclaimer: I have not grown this pepper. But I have grown many varieties, and have noticed that the pepper plant does its own "topping" so to speak. All my peppers are never topped, and at about 5-8 nodes tall they all naturally split into multiple tops. It will bush out on its own, is what I am trying to say. This happened with my jalapeño, habanero, serrano, cayanne, and kung pao hybrids, and straight up red chilis. No topping required and they will shoot out multiple tops on their own, I promise. I don't know where you saw people topping there's, but I have never seen a pepper topped as it will essentially do it on its own. No need to maim it. It is not as durable as cannabis, so keep that I'm mind.ok heres an update ,it's roots were starting to grow like mad out of the pot so i transplanted into a bigger pot today.I also topped it the other day .Bit of an experiment ,i seen a few youtube videos advocating it ,so i'm sure it'll be ok..but it hasn't made any new growth since i did it 2 days ago ,but i would say it might take a week or two to recover.

That depends on your tolerance for pain...when I want to test a pepper variety for hot sauce, I'll throw a handful into the blender with some fresh lime juice and a pinch of sea salt, let it age for a couple of days in the fridge, then try it out. It won't keep too long, if you don't use it up in a week, toss it.How much of a Trini Butch T, or in my Case a Chocolate habanero should i use in a hotsauce?
Right on, hell I may even top a few of mine when it comes time to start up again. I just noticed they do their own bushing.hey peyote ,thanks for that info man.. I typed chili topping into the tube and several videos came up.The guys didn't come across as noobs.Ah well ,it's done now ..i guess we'll see what topping does to it..
nice chilis man them things are massive!
Its a lot like cannabis extracts. They are all a bit different. In my few years of playing around making sauces is 1 pepper for each 8 ounces or so of finished product. Heat and flavor kinda go hand in hand here IMK.How much of a Trini Butch T, or in my Case a Chocolate habanero should i use in a hotsauce?
I always top my chili plants. Much like the reefer, I've noted that all strains I've grown and topped responded favorably to it. I even ran a side by side of the same strain with one topped and one not and there was a noticeable difference. I always top. Usually multiple times. The Trinidads LOVE it.hey peyote ,thanks for that info man..

nice one man.Mine has recovered from the topping now and is starting to grow just like cannabis does after a topping..all the lower nodes are sprouting growth that were not beforeI always top my chili plants.

I think you might have to man.lol ..she seems to like to 12.12 regime..Sweet dude, always assumed they'd go on 12/12 as the aren't photoperiod plants, nice to see it confirmed. Thinking of using my little mj breeding cab to grow out a plant of Butch T's...might have to do it!
Thanks dude.Keep an eye on this thread and if i don't mess things up, when its ready remind me and i'll mail a bunch of seeds to you if you want.This is rad to see. I actually grew 2 of these out last year. Fiery as fuck but delicious in some home made hot sauces. I started mine with my bud in my grow box but had to kick them out once my bud plants got bigger.
I bought 10 seeds and I haven't been able to find the 8 leftover ones since I moved which is a damn shame because if I'd known they were lost I would have saved some of the seeds from the ones I grew out.
Good luck with it man. Well worth the effort for these beauties.
