??? BHUT JOLOKIA: Many buds but no flowers ???

I have several Bhut Jolokia plants growing, and I need some help. My plants are doing great, but, the have a lot of buds but they don't turn into flowers. Plants are between 15 & 24" tall, are they too small to support flowering? Any help would be appreciated
 
I'd imagine that the night temps are a little on the low side since they have just started improving here. Wait a bit more and when the temps improve you'll get pod set.
 
I'm getting plenty of flowers here on all plants, including bhuts (but have since been pinched). I wouldnt think temps would vary too much here from where you're at, but maybe so. Certain species can just be finicky on flowers. Try spraying with an epsom salt mixture, or maybe try a "bloom buster" type fertilizer.
