I'm new to hydroponics, and am trying to grow some habs indoors.  To date,
we've had only about six chiles from three plants.  (Two are not yet picked,
about 1.5" diameter and gorgeous red.)

The plants are in a constant-drip arrangement, in GroRox.  I'm using the
recommended strength of nutrient, and keeping the pH generally between 6.0
and 7.0, usually changing the solution about once a week.  Daytime temps are
kept around 80 to 85 F, and night temps around 70 to 75 F.  Tops of plants
are about 12" from a 400 watt sodium vapor lamp which runs around 14 hours
per day.

There don't appear to be pests of any sort.  I've looked at all the info I
can find on the web, and nothing seems to fit.  The plants appear healthy,
lots of leaves.

And -- Lots and lots of blooms ... which then drop off.

Any ideas?

Dennis
