  • Hmm that doesn’t seem like it’d be hot enough to cause consistent drop assuming nighttime lows are at least getting to 70.

    I do some self pollination on the plants I baby the most, but a big help for me was when I started actually changing what I fed throughout the growing season. A lower N, higher P fertilizer when I wanted to switch from growing to fruiting helped me get a lot more fruit.



  • How hot is it where you’re at? I have some overwintered peppers that are still full of fruit that set earlier in the season, but pretty much every flower has fallen off for a while now. High heat doesn’t reduce flowering much, but it does dramatically stop fruit production.

    If you’re in the US, I’m in a hardiness zone of 8b/9a though. We have a very long growing season so I know I’ll get a fall harvest as well out of both new and old plants.
