Carolina reapers dropping flowers

[twilliard]

Some great looking peppers !
If I can figure out why my flowers are dropping I will have some mean ones too!
Here in WA we have been hounded and covered in smoke with a lot of ash from all the fires.
Our local hydro store is seeing the same thing. Dropped flowers and fruit.
I am going to cut nitrates way back and hope to save this years crop.

I'd say the smoke probly is taking a big toll on plants for sure. Ever went indoors with the pepper plants?

Ya I have a few potted for next years cross breeding.
I guess we are just burning up AGAIN over here!

Avoid nitrogen when growing peppers. You need more phosphorus and potasium.

Forget the fish tank in the picture. If you look at the garden, the row closest to the tank is full of peppers. I grew 240 plants this year with a mix of bell and hot.

I have cut out the nitrogen and crossing my fingers!
Next season will be better I hope
Awesome garden of peppers!
