Hi!

I have a very big and healthy plant with tons of flowers on now for the last 4 weeks. Nothing seems to come of the flowers though - Is there a way to guarantee pollination/is this a common problem?

Thanks!

Yes, it's very common especially if you are growing it indoors? Try hand pollinating, it's not as difficult as it sounds, take a cotton bud, or even a flower and move the pollen around from flower to flower. Usually once they start to set fruit Zi let them get on with it but if you've got a couple of minutes every few days you'll soon have some luck got any photos?

Have a read here, it is a long thread but there's lots of photos and problems that we've come across while growing chillies this season.
