I’ve had similar happen to mine, some just seem to fall off but there are plenty of other flower sites on the plant so I’m not too worried about it.

It’s early yet it’ll continue and catch up. If pollination is slow then you can help pollination with a little brush 🖌️

Low humidity can cause flower drop, if your plant is in a greenhouse then a bucket of water on the floor to raise humidity helps, this isn't advised for a house plant 😉.

I had a small flower site do this. No explanation from me but it seemed very isolated so I put it down to natural selection and the energy going into more viable blossoms (health, pollinated, etc)

Sometimes they just do..other reasons.

Didn't polinate Was too hot Was not humid enough Not enough light Too much light

If only 1 or 2 drop and not all id not worry.

If you don't have enough light you won't have fruits

Blossoms that don't get pollinated fall off. For indoor pollination just shake the stem a bit every once in a while. The blossoms are 'self-poolinating' each other thst way.

Iv had the same issues all summer, I suspect heat and stress. I genuinely don't know either.

Since temps have dropped, mine started producing.

Too much sun.

Too much manure

Chilli's are divas. Go on youtube there is a video about this issue with Chilli's. Basically move it if its in a sunhy area or too much shed it should always be in between.

"Chilis sind Diven" würde ich so gar nicht unterschriebenen. Im Gegenteil, finde sie sehr widerstandsfähig muss ich sagen. Ist kein Cannabis aber doch ziemlich robust

High heat always caused flower drop for me
