How did you prune this into that growth pattern? Are all six leaders coming out of a single node?

Mainlining a pepper!? That’s awesome. Did this with a cannabis plant a couple years ago. The production will be insane.

AI think this is how you would go about doing this, but would love to hear from OP
# Step-by-Step Mainlining Process
1. **Wait for 6–8 true nodes to grow** * The plant should be healthy, around 6–10 inches tall. 2. **Top the plant** * Cut the **main stem above the 3rd node** (some go with the 4th), leaving 2 main branches. * This stops vertical growth and forces lateral growth from the two remaining branches. 3. **Remove lower growth** * Strip everything **below the topping point**, including branches and leaves below node 3. * This redirects energy to the two main arms. 4. **Train the two main branches horizontally** * Use soft plant ties to pull the two branches **sideways**, ideally in opposite directions. * You’re building a “T” shape: the trunk with two outward arms. 5. **Let each arm grow out and top again** * Once each branch has 3–4 new nodes, **top again above the 2nd node** on each arm. * This gives you **4 total colas**. 6. **Repeat if desired** * You can keep topping to get 8 or more colas, but 4–8 is a good balance for peppers. 7. **Continue training** * Tie down new branches gently to keep an even canopy.

It’s like everybody that was growing cannabis few years ago, has switched to hot peppers these days. Topping and training plants is sometimes necessary for marijuana plants to increase yields, but I found most pepper plants will do this on their own, not to this extent, but close, and you’re not losing weeks of growth that you do with topping.

🔥🔥🔥 I grow cannabis and hot peppers and do similar runs. Feed her like you do bud and you’ll have 60-100 pods easy off one
