Buds dropping before blooming
 

Hi all,

I am growing this Firecracker Chilli plant from seed and recently it
started to have buds. But for some reason, the bud didn't manage to bloom,
it just dropped off the plant. I am using 2 daylight compact flourescent as
its main light source. Could it be too much blue light and insufficient
light in the red and orange spectrum? Or what other reason could it be? Any
adivce will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Just to add in some more info. I am having the 2 x 20 W flourescent on for
16 hours per day with 8 hours of "night" time for the plant.
