  • These questions may seem very simple to experienced gardeners, but quite a challenge for people who just started growing peppers. Many people wanted to see my indoor grow space, so I took the opportunity to answers these questions as well. I hope this information will help you with your pepper garden. Thanks for watching!
    Flowers dropping could be due to multiple reasons. It's hard to tell because I don't know the condition of your grow, but here are a few simple diagnostics you can do narrow down the problem.
    1. Poor pollination due to lack of bees or wind. Try shaking your plants or use an electric toothbrush to vibrate the flowers. You can use Qtip to spread pollen as well.
    2. Drastic temperature changes from day to night. It's best to try to keep the temperature constant between 75-80 F.
    3. Lack of certain nutrients, such as calcium or magnesium.
    4. Too much nitrogen during bloom stage
    5. Imbalanced pH
    6. It could be due to over watering if you're growing in soil

    This video is still very relevant. I had no idea I was suppose to shake or agitate the flowers allowing the pollen to be released. I've had a fully blooming plant for the past 2 months and only had 3 to 5 peppers grow. I just used the q tip method, and saw so much pollen fall all over the plant. I'm gonna do this every other day now! Thank you so much, you're a life saver!!

    I started 4 bell pepper plants from seed in 16 ounce solo cups as an experiment, 2 in my basement and 2 outside to compare initial growth. Once the experiment was done (they grew about the same) I moved all of them into a 10x20 seedling tray and put them outside and continued to feed them hydroponic nutrient. I had intended to add them to some place in my garden but never did. I did prune them to only have 1 "Y" split and the plants only grew about 18" due to the small cup I assume. However they did produce full size peppers to my amazement. Not many but beautiful full sized bells.

Ive been growing my ghost chilli plants since january, and now all 5 plants have got a crazy amount of flowers. Id say about 70% of that dropped, but ive got healthy growing chillies that take up the 30%... recently i noticed that there are more and moee flowers dropping.

    Those pepper plants are amazing. I'm actually growing a chilli plant in an unheated shed in the UK. It has one large white flower and about 7 tiny buds on the top leaves. At the moment it's getting a lot of sun. I have been feeding it tomato feed every 2 days which I'm not sure is too often. I'll have to move it inside in a few weeks as I don't have a greenhouse. I really like your grow box. I have some silver foam insulation boards which I could use for the sides and will probably just buy a cheap striplight for lighting. Anyway great video I'm now off to shake my plant.
