Jalapenos not hot

Question

My jalapeno crop is never hot, not even slightly. They taste pretty much like regular green peppers. Is there something about the soil they are in? Tomato and other peppers do well in the same soil. What could the problem be?

Answer 1

t could be in the genetics or a cross pollination has occured, or a factor in the growing conditions. Here is an article with some points to consider:
