I wish I could tell you guys what my dumb luck is in having almost no flower or bud drop after three weeks of 90F-100F+ temperatures, my chinense are dropping very few blooms and producing new pods daily. I give them lots of fertilizer and water 2 to 3 times a day depending on temperature but maybe growers seeing it the most have low humidity and/or more wind?
The only plant I had bloom drop issues with was a large one overwintered in a small pot, it was starving for nitrogen a couple months ago before our temperatures even hit 90F but hasn't had a problem since.
