Why were my chilles mild in heat this year?

I grew many different varieties of chillies this year in the green house as I have done many years before. However they seemed very mild this year compared to previous years, even the hot varieties. Could anyone tell me what I did wrong?

Strange Donna. I have grown about 10 types for years. I always feed with tomato food and I always keep humid. Isn't gardening weird?

You should always mist a few times daily, and I feed mine twice a week with high potash (tomato) liquid feed. Perhaps, Amature, you've tried so many that your taste buds have either been killed off or you're just immune to them, heehee.

Probably nothing Amature. Mine were rubbish as well. Not enough sun. Hope you can make more sun this year. My Scotch bonnets were like sweet peppers last year. Lol.
