They are hot without stress but nutrient blasts or letting them not get nutes for a couple days I'm not hydro but that's what I have heard about stressingBlister said:

You could try just one.
If you can manage just 1 beer and 1 potato chip, you may be able to handle it.
But seriously, you don't need 2 for pollination, if that's what you are asking.
In hydro, you can stress with lights, heat, cold, nutes, or lack thereof.
Not really necessary though, you modulate the growth phases by mixture.
I grew a scorpion in DWC without stressing and it what blazingBlister said:
The whole reason I'm trying coco is because I haven't been able to get my Bhut's or Scorpions to produce hot peppers. The background is that I've always had decent sized, healthy plants in soil, but they never produced hot peppers. The only ones that did were the ones that were able to go through the natural process of wilt and water (stress). I had one hab that felt like a burning ember after a summer of stress and was way hotter than either of the Bhut's or Scorpions. The downside is that the superhots never got superhot because the buckets were too large and never dried out to the point where the plant would wilt and experience stress of the process. Really when you think about it, this is the natural process these plants go through in their native countries. Hot dry weather with periods of little to no rain.
Coco seems to offer the opportunity for me to be able to do this because I can have a decent sized plant in a small pot. So far all of my plants use up the nutrient solution and begin to wilt within 2 days if I don't water again.

That is not true i know people that don't stress their plants and they produce scorching hot peppers these peppers have heat in their genetics. Just like if I stress a bell pepper it won't produce heat because it doesn't have that in its genetics. if you never let your plants wilt will that doesn't mean it will produce heatless peppers what are your temps like?
I agree that genetics play a role and yes that would be why bell peppers don't become hot with stress. That's not their variety. At the same time if it were all up to genetics then the peppers would be hot regardless of the temperatures or conditions they were grown in. This has not been my experience in growing hot peppers. In-doors my peppers are held to 18-22c. In the summer time the plants are in an environment that's around the same to warmer. When I had access to a greenhouse, the plants were in temps closer to 35-40c on a regular basis.
I had Bhut Jolokia's and Butch T scorpions that were overwintered for 4 years. They both produced warm peppers, but not to the heat levels like they should have. I could literally pop one in my mouth and eat it. They were in large pots that were never able to fully dry out to let the plants wilt on a regular basis. On the other hand, the Orange Hab I grew wilted on a regular basis. And by wilt I mean the leaves were pointing straight down before each watering. There was no way I could pop one in my mouth and eat it like the others that are supposed to be 4-5x's hotter. The small slice I had was like a burning ember on my on my tongue.

Yep I started with 1 once....then next year 250....the next year 400....the next year I was putting 800 in my basement and building wooden stadiums to hold them all. Started with 1 light once...now I am pushing 4 HID lights 1000 watts each. Just like Lays Potato Chips.....
