Brown / dried buds and leaf tip

Hi all.
 
I'm growing 2 bhut jolokia plants (~3 months old) inside a tent and while I was transplanting the plants yesterday I noticed that a few leaves have their tips brown and quite some (tiny) buds look dried (brown) and are falling. Overall the plants look healthy, except for these 2 facts. Should I do something about it?
Temperature inside the tent is ~25ºC at night and 33ºC during the day. Humidity ~40% during the day.
 
I fertilize the plants every few weeks.
 
The good news is that today the first flower appeared :)

Over 90°F? A mite hot for flower set my friend!

Isn't this temperature fine? Their natural habitat is actually around these values.
 
I managed to reduce the day temperature to around 29ºC but still having the same issue, although it looks like new leaves are starting to appear (also, I removed a secondary stem from the plants to focus energy on main stem). Night temp is around 24ºC.
 
I'm using AutoPot watering system - can that cause trouble with the flowering as well?
 
Cheers!
