Why aren't my chillies hot????

[bishop]

for my cayennes i leave them on the plant till they are red, then let the plant dry out for a couple off days before picking them, they are hot, then water plant as normall,

My chillis have been rubbis this year and I think it is due to too much water.

Found a ripe Hot Lemon this morning , (hiding behind foliage) just had a nibble and I have a pleasant tingling on my tongue.

tried my first chilli today, it tastes more like a pepper! im very disappointed. its meant to be mild but this is a bit too mild. atleast my windowsill chillis are hotter than the outside ones.

I've got some in vodka for my son for C******** (I'm not afraid of that word), so I'm hoping they're hot!
