Hi all, my chili pepper plants all are growing well but are dropping their chilis before they get ripe. Also many of the flowers don't make fruit.

Nitrates are high, I supplement iron, maxicrop and I have oyster shells in the water. pH is 6.0.

What you guys think?

Add a little Potassium BiCarbonate to your system.... you can usually get it from Wine Making Shops...

Will bring your pH back a bit... and provide a Potassium boost....
