Could be a pollination failure as this often happens to chillis
Try giving the plants a tap or shake as this helps pollen to transfer and see if that helps.

If you're worrying about water it's always best to under rather than overwater with capsicums. I've even found that letting plants wilt (just) can often push fruit into ripening

An old trick to give them a shot of Epsom salts, one teaspoon to a gallon (4.5ltrs) of water every two weeks one they are fruiting.

Weve got some capiscums in the greenhouse - do they pollinate themselves normally or do they need a little encouragement as JB suggests?! The cats just been leaping around in there - will that do?! :wub:

I pollenated mine by hand last year to make sure I got a good yeild. I used a cotton bud to transfer the pollen between the flowers.
My Peppers this year seem to be  i little later flowering but I will still do the same again. :)
