My simple understanding is that plucking the early blooms really doesn't impact production (especially as the ghost pepper takes forever to fruit compared to most other peppers). You're plucking blooms that may or may not ever become fruit, diverting the plants energy toward producing a strong stalk and branch structure. This way the plant is more wind proof and can carry a heavier load of fruit. Basically you're investing in a better plant. Someone can supplement/correct me if I am mistaken.
