Bhut Jolokia (GHOST CHILI) wont produce pepper
Hello everyone I'm new to the forums and fairly new to indoor gardening. I have been interested in gardening since I baought my house 2 years ago and I absolutely love it. Its so theraputic. Anyway I have a aerogarden that I have a bhut jolokia in and its about 2 1/2" tall. It is producing lots of flowers and I have tried to pollinate them by shaking the plant, using a q tip and brush to spread pollin but still no succes. I have been doing this everyday for the last 2 weeks and still nothing. I'm starting to get a little frustratwed with this and need some advise so if anyone has anything for me I would greatly appreciate the feed back thank you

Umm... those are inedible basically... causing blisters upon touch to the tongue and being used for anit-terrorism in the form of pepper sprays and pepper bombs... SOOO not meant for eating, oh, wear gloves, apparently they can blister your hands while working with them.
Good luck! Thats about all I know about them...

Yeah, I think that it is the aerogarden thing, too. I'm by no means an expert on this stuff, but I know that to grow plants to fruit successfully indoors, you need some expensive/specialized lighting.
I'm thinking that your best bet would be to plant the plants outside when all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up a little. You should get some peppers, then.
