Sweet red peppers

I am growing sweet red peppers for the first time. They are Thor F1 variety. They have reached 30" now and I feed them every week. My problems is there are no flowers on my plants. They are growing in an unheated greenhouse. What am I doing wrong?

Too much nitrogen?
I don't feed my peppers with anything except seaweed extract (which is not really a fertiliser) every 2 weeks until the flowers appear, then I use a tomato feed.
If you feed them too early they'll just keep growing big and lush. I'd say hold off feeding until you get some flowers, then use a tomato feed every 7-10 days.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
