Stress on the plant causes peppers to grow hotter. Ideal conditions where the plant has little or no stressors (no competition, adequate water and light, no diseases or pests, etc.) would reduce the production of capsicum, a pepper plant's natural defense against mammalian predators.

∙ 12y agoIf the variety is supposed to be "hot", the likely answer is that there was abundant rainfall or watering in the week to ten day period before they were picked. That tends to curb the "heat" noticeably. Conversely, if they ripen over a time of dry soil, they will be as hot as firecrackers.
