Orange TS flowers - What now?

[kev82]

My Orange Trinidad Scorpion is now popping up flowers like there's no tomorrow, and I'm wondering if I have to do something to pollinate them? I'm growing it inside, under LEDs and ebb&flow hydro system.

Tomatoes, Orange TS, TS Butch T and strawberries, all growing happily together. Getting a bit crowded tho.

There is the option of shaking some pollen onto your finger or cotton tip (I see one in your piccy ) and rub it *very* softly on the stigma but a little bit of simulated nature (wind) should do the trick: just very lightly flick the flowers while the stamens are open or kinda shake the plants lightly or get a fan blowing lightly on 'em.

Leave the plant alone, it's doing what you want it to.

Chiles are self-pollinating.

Try adding a fan for circulation and to help pollination

I'll add a fan and see what happens.

This is what my little garden looked like 2 weeks ago (on august 20th):

Looks like a lot of growth in 2 weeks when you look at the old pic vs new

Especially since I keep trimming these about once a week to keep them from overshadowing each other...
