When a single pepper weighs more than the whole plant…
So this is what happens when you don’t pluck flowers?

NICE. but be sure to cut it off so it can focus on the plant growth.

You’ll still get some saying that you should let the plant be lol. You could argue that the natural way, no-pruning of flowers/fruit is best but oftentimes as growers we subject our plants to conditions that are far from natural or ideal for them, resulting in stunted growth like this one.
Peppers grow and flower pretty much simultaneously once they reach that point of maturity and have good conditions but removing early flowers produces a much bigger plant IME.

Yeah, the plant is going to stop growing and focus on making that one pepper. Better to pinch them off early so you don’t have any speedbumps

Perfect example of why you should remove flowers when they’re seedlings
