Pepper Worries SOS... lol

Hi guys! I`m new to this site and new at learning to use my greenthumb. This is my first post!! lol wooohoooo!!! Lets see if there`s any knowledge to be gained by speaking with you guys.

So this season I have about 11 different pepper varieties... all types from 0 to 2 million on the scoville charts. Everything looks super healthy and seems to be growing great but I have a concern...

Ive seen my banana, hungariant hot wax, jalapeno, chipotle, black pearl and golden cayenne all start producing fruit and have even recieved tasty ripe treats from these plants. However my super hots have had NO flowers or peppers.

Now all these plants are in the ground AND next to eachother... so they have the same sun, water, and soil.

At the beggining of my plants life cycle I was feeding them a fertilizer with nitrogen, potasssium and phosphorous but have bought a new fertlizer that does without nitrogen to hopefully encourage flowers...

Have had no success with this.. I read somewhere online that Super Hots take longer to grow... is this true or does anyone have any suggestions as to what can possibly be happening with a fix!?!!?

Thank you kindly!!

Yes the super hots do take longer. Sometimes twice as long. Daytime and nightime temps may play a role too but if your plants seem healthy it sounds like you might just need to be patient and let them do what they're gonna do.
Why thank you Edmick for the encouragement!! I was thinking that they just take longer but needed some re-assurance before it got to late and they died or something haha. I live in LA area so heat has not been a problem at all lately.
