peppers stopped flowering

16 years ago

Hello,

I'm in NW Las Vegas (from what I can tell zone 8a). My peppers (basic banana, jalapeno, and NM Big Jim) have been flowering and producing pretty regularly for the past 2 months or so. I went on vacation for 2 weeks and got back yesterday to find only a few jalapenos and NO blooms anywhere.

Temps were 100-110 most days, lows at night around 90-95. Full sun, no rain.

Have not fertilized in a while. They are in above ground planting boxes. The soil I used in the boxes had a slow-release all-purpose fertilizer in it.

The boxes are watered 3 days per week on a drip system. I opened the flow a little for the time we were gone, to make up for the random sprayings I normally give them during the day. Could over-watering be the culprit?

Thanks for any help.
