Hi all! I'm growing several cultivars, and decided to have some fun with this adjuma: I'm growing it in a beer can! It's in a mix of regular potting soil and vermiculite for moisture regulation. Plenty of holes in the bottom for drainage. I'll be fertilizing it regularly to compensate for the small amount of soil. Unlike my other peppers, I won't move it to my greenhouse, but it stays inside in a very sunny south-facing window sill. Second picture is from exactly one month ago, to show the rate of growth.
My question to those who have done something similar before: should I pinch out the growing tip? I don't do so with my other plants, but I suppose there's a limit to how much plant this can can support (and I also don't want it to tip over).

No experience or direct advice, just wanted to pop by and say that looks sick!

I decided on a Red Bull can for the aesthetic lol, from what I’ve been able to figure out they’ll grow into the container and once they realize the container has no room it’ll focus its energy on fruit and flower production.
PIAC always reminds me of how Khang Starr does his indoor solo cups for some reason.
Pretty sure the tiny pot will limit its size for you. It’ll probably become root bound no matter what you do, but hey, fun experiment.
