Not so Hot Chilli

I've tried for teh past 4 years to grow decent chillis, Although i get some fantastic plants and plenty of fruit, they are as hot as a red bell pepper!:cnfs:

I grow them in a conservatory, plenty of light. I've used chilli seeds from a decent chilli i like, i've bought seeds online, even really hot ones. I even went to a asian market and got the hottest nastist looking chilli i could find, which melted the bag, dried the seeds and then grew them, but still nothing, every single one is as mild as korma.

Tried lots of water, tried keeping them dry, tried good quality soil, tried old soil. I even tried the old trick of putting a match head in the soil near the base (although i found out that Safety matches dont work, its just kills them:lollol

Anyone else had this problem?

Cheers

 

Have you tried Habeneros or Scotch Bonnet? if you have and they are not hot enough what exactly are you after?
I like reasonably hot chillis and grow many each year but I can't see the point of growing ones that make you feel like your lips are bleeding and almost stop you breathing!:D

 

I'm growing Haberneros and Scotch Bonnets too, more than HOT enough for my taste.

I hear of super hot chilies, a google search will probably point you in the right direction!
