How are the different strains growing? Mine was from semillas.de, and all I can say is: don't buy that one.
It's taller than me (I'm 6ft), almost reaching the ceiling of my balcony, a meter wide (I let a total of 5 stems), and has not had a single flower. It's taking precious space for nothing, as I don't see what I could do to make it start. In case you're going to say nitrogen and all that, it is fertilized with proper stuff 11-11-24 and 7-3-10 organic. Maybe I need more sun or smth, I get about 6 hrs (this plant is getting less now since it's closer to the ceiling where there's no sun), but I have no problems with tomatoes and other peppers producing lots (except rocoto, I'll maybe complain about that one separately). Last year Bichop's hat, another baccatum, was massively producing at this stage and continued doing so until frost.
