I'm more concerned with the height. Oh yeah, I can see it’s right at the top there. I’m getting worried for mine too, then. And my house, like yours, is (artificially) usually in the upper 60’s. Maybe it’s your bionic touch again, Kate! Since your flowers and baby peppers are below the top of the canopy, if it were me I might go ahead and conservatively prune the top. *But*, I am not so experienced with peppers like several others on here so take what I just wrote with a hefty grain of salt. At least now with so much fruit beginning to develop, most energy will go there and hopefully stop growing the plant upwards! (But I doubt it, over time). |

I actually did trim the top a bit. It's about an inch down now. I'll do it again, if it keeps growing.

I think I’ll do that too. If mine became bionic like yours...lol  |

I finally trimmed from the top after a couple of peppers seemed to be burned by the lights.

It's behaving much better, now. It seems to have stopped growing upward, thankfully. It's covered with shiny green peppers and flowers. Every flower is producing a pepper, and it's only dropped two flowers. Very exciting!  |

That is a fabulously prolific plant.
