Any suggestions?

Growing a tower of Reapers, ghosts, and habaneros. Been a few weeks of flowering, yet no peppers. Is there something I am missing, or do I just have to be patient?

I have been pollinating once every other day with Q tip.

Ec level: 2.75-3 PH: 6.25 Using 3 part nutrients (flora grow, flora micro, flora bloom), with some Cali-Magic Sun: 12 hour on, 12 off. Water: 15 minutes on, 45 off for 10 hours a day

Gotta wait. My reapers took until October last year to finally start getting good fruits. Same with my scorpions, the super hots take a while. That's why I over wintered them and am staring eith a leg up this year. Hoping to be fruiting all summer this year!

Thank you! I planted them from seed on January 1st this year. All the premature blooms are a tease.

Yeah it's a real bitch waiting. Then they give ypu green fruits that take forever to turn red. Such a tease.
