Chilli Pepper Growing

Can anyone advise the best fertilizer to stop flower drop. My reapers are dropping flowers constantly, they seem to polinate then the next day just fall off. I used fish emulsion until buds started then Switched to nutrifeed, weekly. My first time growing in soil...pots are fairly small. Some of the plants have a couple pods but since then nothing, dropping flowers for 3 weeks. Should I be increasing the strength, or just the wrong fertilizer. My birds eye and peppadews are loaded no flower drop, same soil (freedom farms, same nutrients same watering), even smaller pots. My ghosts are starting to flower now so I'm hoping to fix whatever is causing it on the reapers.
Not sure. Maybe add some calcium?

How much sun do they get there?
 
Ghost and reaper harvest, still got tons more to harvest. Seeds from Glenseeds.co.za...I would highly recommend them as out of 3 places I got ghost seeds these were the only that germinated, some in 5 days some in 10.
