How old are the plants? Give em a few weeks....they produce most of the summer long.

these plants are about 3 mo. old and 2ft. high and have already produced one mature peper with another on the way .but thats it.tons of blooms but no produce.

Not that I'm an expert, but offhand I can only think of a couple things:
Temperature--Peppers are warm-weather plants. If night temperatures are below 50 degrees F the plants may grow slowly and not set fruit. Fertilizing-- If you are over fertilizing, the plants will grow fast, but focus on growing the vegetation, not fruit. If neither of these are it, then someone else will have to try.

Yeah, give them some more time, they will come. I have two month old plants and they are starting to bud but thats it. You can also pick off a lot of the flowers, so the the plant will grow bigger instead of focusing on growing fruit, you will have a bigger yield in the end...that is what I read on another forum.

You can also try "tickling" your peppers. Brush a feather over the flowers on the plants, moving from one bud to the next & plant to plant.
