I have been hand pollinating my 2 ghost peppers since they came in the house in the fall. I have harvested about 60 peppers from hand pollinating, and more are growing. Sometimes it doesnt work, sometimes it does. One thing I have learned is if I use my little paintbrush a couple of times a day on all the flowers they have a much higher growing rate. Morning and evening until the flowers are done. Thats my routine. I just finished pollinating the new batch of flowers again and noticed that some of them are starting to grow fruit. Some of the flowers dry up and fall off, but about half will grow fruit.
I tried using a q-tip to pollinate and like the paintbrush better.
