Does anyone have experience with Thai hot peppers? I bought seeds from Amazon last year - and planted in containers, I think it was in January - maybe February and transplanted outside directly into the ground around the end of April. These hot peppers are not as hot as advertised - what heat they have seems to be all from the seeds. The peppers themselves are very mild and sweet. Some of the seeds don't even have any heat. Is it the crazy weather or a seed mix up by the seller or maybe it's me or my info? I'm a bit confused as this is my first time with this kind of pepper.

Sometimes the weather affects the heat... Hotter, drier temps = hotter peppers.

Sometimes when the seed provider has grown other peppers near enough to cross... later generations have subtle differences like less heat...

Sometimes... the seed purveyor mislabeled the seed and, we got something other than what was desired.

And... I had a ghost pepper plant that produced amazing peppers for like 5 years, but it's offspring weren't as hot...

If you've had a lot of rain lately, I've had experience with excessive rain sort of washing out the heat of jalapeno peppers. Later peppers from the same plant (ones that developed during more normal weather) were as hot as expected.
