Why they dont set fruits? (Go to reply #16)

[dani8538]

Habs, jolokia, fatali etc'
Most are 3'ft in2-5 gal,
some have flowers

Indoor: a littlel direct sun thru south window, temp is 74 day&night

Outdoor: sun all day, rain somtimes, windy, day temp is 74, night temp is 53

 

[Justaguy]

Sounds like outdoor would be the way to go.

 

[dani8538]

I am warrie from the night temp & cold/strong wind for the flowers

 

[ThePepperManiac]

outdoor is the way to go

 

[Prehensile]

Outdoor

 

[fishing4fun2]

I also say outdoors and just move them close to shelter to avoid the high windy days if possible.

 

[hydromike]

^^ agreed, outdoors sounds like the best option. More direct sunlight = more peppers!

 

[dani8538]

***update***

So i decide to keep'm outside
Few nights that temp gone to 40f +strong wind =

All gone to hell
So i had to cut'em back

First days with 60's f = new growth

 

[Wulf]

Probably should've hardened them off.

They'll be fine though.

 

[patrick]

As long as the ground temp stays above 50 the plants should be OK. Peppers are pretty resilient, those should all come back with a vengeance.

 

[Blue Flames]

Had the same prob

just going mad now

 

[dani8538]

*******UPDATE******

after 4 weeks:

the one on the back-right was still outside when it was still cold and non happened (no growth)

 

[Vegas_Chili]

Am I high or your plants are yellowing? Hardening off was the problem at first, but once the right temperature comes..... BOOM! You'll have those suckers rushing to make pods. Good luck.

The yellowing can be iron deficiency, but it can be something else too.

[dani8538]

I think the yelowing is from the cold at evening/night

At night i bring in few of them and they have much less yelow from the others that stay outside 24h

All got the same soil with the same amont of compost and humus
No fertz'

 

[Cayennemist]

Your are mid to late winter so maybe keep them inside for another 30days ish?

 

[dani8538]

+_+ 6 weeks more +_+

all flowers keep falling and drying, why ??
didnt got any pods yet

left=fatali
right=orange habanero

outdoor.
sunny south balcony
day temp - 76
night temp - 57
water 2-3 a week
no frets, just compost+humus with loam soil and some perlit







see how flowers geting dry

 

[theghostpepperstore]

I would guess too cold at night. My greenhouse plants (chinense) refuse to set pods until it is steadily above 65 at night.

The annums and fruts set pods with no problem below 65.

Just a guess, there are many other possible causes as well.

 

[willard3]

Flower drop probable causes:

1. Day temp too high >95F
2. Night temp too low <65F
3. Too much nitrogen fertilizer
4. Too much water
5. Low light levels (reduces fertility).
6. Very low humidity (reduces fertility)
7. Poor air circulation (air circulation contributes to pollination).
8. Lack of pollinating insects.
9. Size of pot
10. Too much mineral in feedwater.
11. Too much grower attention/anxiety.
