Some drop is normal to start...even a lot. Don't sweat it. Once they figure it out almost all will stick. Paying attention to the temps inside your grow area will help. Try to keep temps in the 70-85 range. An oscillating fan us usually enough to pollinate them for you. Good luck and be patient!!!
By the way we're running the same lights...
Same nutes too! Wow! I added CaliMagic though.

Not sure of others results but my grow last year dropped blooms until the fall when the temps came down to the high 80's day and high 70's at night...but that was outside in soil too so may be apples to oranges as yours is inside hydro
Starting to get a little worried. This thing is getting so big under the LED I don't know what to do with it. If I prune it, will it drop the flowers more and keep growing?
Im afraid it is going to take over the whole area. The pictures do not do it justice. The pH is also shooting way up everyday which it did not do before. It is going through 3-4 gallons of water a week. Flowers are still dropping and no sign of fruit. Plus on many of the new branches, if I even come close too it, ten flowers that are not opened drop.
I installed the fan as suggested. it seems like the growth increased 10 fold since adding the fan.
Any suggestions to keep me from losing more sleep at night thinking about this poor girl??
On a positive note, all of my cuttings took in my clone machine I made and I will be doing more nutrient battles in the DWC system outdoors once the weather lets up. Thinking of going with 10 gallon containers though.

Looks great! Whats the wattage on your Led panel? I did my Reaper dwc with hps and yours looks way bushier than mine.
Found my first pepper on the big girl today finally!!!!!! It is small but its a pepper!!!! I changed the nutrients again today and went with the General Hydroponics basic 3 pack. We will see how it goes. These things are going through 5 gallons of water in 3-5 days now! Have 12 clones ready to go. Some in soil and some hydro. Gonna keep messing with different nutrients. Sadly it is snowing right now!!!

207W Mars Hydro. I can't even keep track of how much I have trimmed off. I have 12 clones from this plant right now. Can't wait to see how big they get outdoors in bigger containers!
"I know it might be much, but would you happen to have a link or a brand name or model number for the LED you used? I'd like to run an experiment similar to yours and I'd like to get the same (or a similar) LED also wattage"

"that plant is a beaut! I usually experience extreme blossom drop in late summer when the temps are too high. Are you monitoring your water res temp? Might look at a flowering/bloom nutrient over a high N nutrient as well to see if that helps."
Have not measured the temp of the water. I will bring something from work to do that. Nut change above.

Good grow Amigo. I have several doing drain to waste/hand fed in coco and I decided to stunt them until I can get a suitable space...shade house. It should be here this week.
So I will put some pics up ASAP.
Peace
