Hello everyone! So this is technically my 2nd season growing, however this season ive learned a lot more and have actually made some awesome friends here along the way. I have a small problem that I cannot figure out at all. I currently have some reapers, ghost, butch t's and some black pearls. All my plants are in pots with FFOF and I follow the fox farms feeding schedule. My plants are super healthy and huge, however its droppign all its flowers. Nothing is really setting for the amount of flwoers its getting. My black perals are setting like crazy, but my nothign else is.. I know there are 8 possible causes and ive ran through every single one of them..
1. its not too hot ( ilive in southern cali)
2.Its not too cold, see above
3. They get planty of light, they are under 4 T5 bulbs, 2 white and 2 red to promote flowering.
4. I flush my plants every 3-4 weeks with sledgehammer, so they are not over nout.
5. Lack of pollinating insects.. well, i have a very small eco system. I however make sure i hit all these flwoers with a gillete vibrating razor, so they pollinate. Yes, i do this by hand to the branches that have flwers..
6. Wind, air... they are outside on my balcony, i dont know if this is where i am goingwrong.. they get some wind but not all the time.... this however contributes to pollination.. and I make sure that I pollinate by hand.
Plase help.. I gave a plant to my sisters friend and they have a ton of peppers.. however my plant has a ton of flowers.. but no peppers. The flowers just seem to shrivel up turn yellow and fall off after a while. No clune what it is.. Here are some pics...
