Almost all of my hot banana peppers have buds on them but they are only 3-4 inches tall. Should I cut the buds off to help the plant grow better? They have been transplanted once already and are in 3" peat pots now. My other peppers have black/purple stripes running up the stems, and some are getting black coloring to the leaves. Is this a phosphorus deficiency or is this normal?
