>>301630How tall is the plant? If its tall enough that the roots are stabilized, then its ok to let it flower. Make sure the plant has enough calcium (do this NOW or else you'll get blossom end rot and ruin a fruit before you can eat it) and you use high Potassium (P) in the N-P-K on fertilizers to ensure you get lots of flowers/buds. You need high P and K to let the fruit set but it might be due to weather conditions. If its too hot or too cold or the weather is fickle, you won't get fruit to set. Also, tap lightly on the flower stem to let it 'jiggle' be GENTLE so you don't break the stem and so you manually pollinate the fruit. Another thing that works is using a paint brush and 'painting' the flower anther and ovary so you ensure the pollination is happening. Another trick is using a vibrating toothbrush (this acts like bumble bees and polinates the flowers). I had a huge problem with my mom's tomato plant that was flowering and not producing fruit (tomatoes and peppers are in the nightshade family so this should work for your peppers too!) and after the weather stablized and with my help, its producing fruit like fucking crazy now! Theres too many tomatoes to count but before, there were like 60 flowers and 3 tomatoes now, all the flowers have developed fruit and I can see maybe 15 tomatoes from far away and barely any flowers left. If you look closer, you'll see much more than 15 tomatoes as they are turning into little green balls below the part where the flowers once were. Good luck, my friend! Also, show us pictures of what you have
Also, if someone can ID what kind of tomatoes these are, please let me know! My mom bought it at a flea market a year ago and I saved it from death twice and its barely starting to fruit now because it wasn't fertilized right. Some tomatoes look like roma tomatoes, some look medium/globe sized and some look like beefsteaks? I have no idea what kind it is and it never came with an ID tag!
