Hi All,

Just a quickie this one...

Should I be pinching out the side-shoots on my CG's like you do with toms? The plants are now about 30in tall and are in flower.

Cheers.

Hello loznkate - no mention of needing to pinch out side shoots on the seed packet we've grown ours from. Just that they may require the support of a cane and to feed with liquid fertiliser as fruits begin to form.
