So I ordered some pepper seeds for the grown this year (a bit late) but I'm starting to pod out.
First is a Biker Bills Jalapeno from semillas.de and some melrose hot from hellhotpepers.com. There are some others but these are the first to get ripe pods.
So I plucked the first red pepper from both and ate them, great tasting sweet pepers... but they are supposed to be hot.
So can anyone give me an idea why these nice hot peppers aren't hot?
All my plants are in a greenhouse, and it's been a great hot summer. They are planted in 25liter shopping bags from Aldi and have good water flow, and enough water, but not too much.
The soil I'm using is from the planter center here, it's called Universal Erde and has the best NPK ratio for growing all types of fruit giving plants or the commercially available soils.
My guess is it has something to do with the soil, but I was hoping someone can help me understand better WTF is going on with my hot peppers so I can fix it for next year.
Thanks!
