Indoor Boonie Pepper Flowering Failure: Nitrogen Excess

Too Much Nitrogen = Leaves, No Flowers

Lush 4.5-ft pepper plants with no blooms under 16 hrs of fluorescent light indicate excessive nitrogen fertilization.

Correction

• Stop fertilizing or switch to bloom formula (high P, low N).
• Prune to control size.
• Maintain 16-hr light; keep soil evenly moist.
• Winter goal: survival, not production.

Spring Transition

Move outdoors after frost. Natural light and pollinators will trigger flowering and fruiting.
