Hey @chocchillimango, flower drop can be pretty common, particularly with the first lot that come through, it is generally from lack of pollination due to not allot of pollinating insects in your yard, by the time the second lot come through the insects should have found your crop and everything should be dandy.
There are other reasons it happens but most commonly it is lack of pollination. You can manually pollinate with small art brushes or cotton tips etc, even giving your plants a bit of a shake everyday can help the process along.
Nice might have to check that out, although yesterday just reported my seedling I have grown in the mini hothouse into pots so hoping for some good growth from them now the weather is getting better an the plants getting bigger
I finally have habaneros!!!!!!
Took a few goes with the flowers not pollinating properly this year. First time that's happened. Not enough bees around which is odd considering my neighbour has a hive
But have heaps of thai chillies, extra hot cayennes and now habaneros are coming good.
Might even include some mango chilli easter eggs this year :O

Sounds great, i have got a heaps of Thai chillis but they arent hot at all, also started to gets some orange habs coming through off a plant my mate gave me, so thatll be great. and my carolina reaper plant is growing nicely, but dont think ill be getting any fruit on it this year, so hping to keep it through winter and growing some next year.
With the habs, my mate was getting a heap of flowers, but they wouldnt pollinate, then they would turn yellowish and drop off, he found somewhere that most likely the reason was the soil wasnt right and he should add potash to the soil, which he did and then they all started growing, so maybe this is something to look into if your habs arent pollinating, they could possibly be pollinating but there is something wrong with the soil preventing them growing.
