7-pot and scotch bonnet. Indoor hydroponic.

Update on my indoor seven pot and scotch bonnet peppers. December 1, I changed my light cycle to 12 hours of daylight/12 hours of darkness. Both pepper plants have been in flower and I believe they are forming some peppers. The reason I am pruning my pepper plants is that I want to ensure that there is proper airflow throughout all of my plants. but the seven pot really does a pretty good job of shedding leaves so I mainly just run my hands through the plant and try to help those leaves just fall off.
