I've been manually pollinating my sweet peppers with an electric toothbrush. Every day I do in and hit each receptive flower: a big poof of pollen pops and it should be good. Additionally a fan blows on the grow 24/7. But I'm not getting any fruitset. This technique is getting me 100% fruitset on five varieties of tomatoes right next to the damn things :upset: . The plants are vigorous and healthy otherwise, and new flowers pop daily.

What gives?

Maybe temperature or nutrient related? I've found some chilies can be tricky like that.
