Bell pepps not producing vegs

[BoxyOfPlants]

Hi, so I have been growing a bell pepper plant from just seed, it’s currently Day 72, it’s very big now, and honestly it’s flowering everywhere with its little stubby flower bits, but they are just continually growing and popping up everywhere and the plant is growing up and up when will it end . I’m running out of space in my room for grow lights to dangle down towards the plant. Isn’t it supposed to bare vegetables now? I tried pollinating the plant with Q-tips because one video claimed thats all I needed to do, but it hasn’t worked.

I am fully aware that bell pepper plants can self pollinate but why hasn’t it then? I saw a video and at day 69 a person’s bell pepper plant began producing peppers.

The little stubby flower bits just wilt, rot and fall out with the entire stem bit (idfk what they’re called) but it just keeps doing that. I already added fertilizer, organic. And the soil already had fertilizer in it.

Nice looking plant.

Sounds to me like a pollination problem. Cross pollination is the best for peppers but if you have only one you might try hand pollination. One way is to gently shake the plant every couple of days. Another is to use the male flowers as a duster to the female flowers.

Looks like the plant is indoors so probably no wind or movement from male to female to self-pollinate.
