My question is should I remove some of the fruit so the others mature faster and become bigger or should I just leave them as is? I’ve only harvested 4 pods so far but if all of these actually make it to maturity I’ll have enough for my whole county…Ha.

Pepper plant help
Here are my Ghost Pepper plants, notice all of the fruit? This is my first time raising these and it looks like they turned out pretty good.

I'm no expert myself, but I used to garden before my trees grew up and the sunlight became scarce in my garden area. I used to do peppers a lot. My knee jerk reaction is no, let them babies grow. Unless later on some look to be obvious runts then maybe prune them. But again, no expert here so I might be wrong.

If you have enough for the whole county, that is good. Let the plant do it’s thing. I’ve got Armageddon & Habanero & bumper crop it is. There is the tendency to want to hurry things, don’t, let them go. What do you plan on doing with em?

I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I put it in my food.
One cannot have too many grills.
