Growing Chilli peppers, also Hot peppers

I planted about 10 chili plants of different varieties in October. Only 1 variety has produced chilies. The other bushes are big and green and have been full of flowers for about a month, but no chilies. They are all in the same section of the garden. Do you have any thoughts on how I can get them to produce? Thanks.

Chillis love nutrients! Give them a dose of liquid fertilizer ( I use Go-Go Juice or Charlie Carp) both available from Bunnings/Masters. Once they do fruit....the more you pick, the more chillis will fruit! If you have flowers you will get chillis....just give them time and lots of water in the hot season.
