>>1048824Some claim that 'letting nature run its course' is better, and if you plan to keep the same plant for several years, it won't make a difference in the end.
I'm growing for the first time, anons advised me to snib, and while I have no unsnibbed control plants, all my peppers are doing great and are super bushy from 2 snibs.
I cut em off when they had 6~8 leaves, and left only the bottom 2. Second snibbening again when those new sideshoots themselves had 6-8 leaves, but iirc I left 4 leaves on those.
For example:

>>1044282 (You)And pic related is 5 weeks difference, also snibbed it twice, and removed a few central leaves last week. In the first pic I had just moved it to that pot, but I had to move it to an even bigger pot because it outgrew that one pot in 2 weeks.
