Default Capsicum Help

I am growing capsicums in Sth Qld. They are supposed to be rather large,
but
are about 3" long by 2" across. The soil is a rather sandy loam held
together with lots of animal manure ( Sheep horse & cow composted).trace
elements have been added and a bit of processed chook doo.
Any suggestions as to why they are under acheivers???

Too much sandy loam and not enough of the other &/or regular watering. If
you have had plenty of rain and the plants are pale green, nitrogen has been
washed out. To get good thick fleshed tasty fruit you need all the NKP the
plants want.
