I'll bet it's the water but plant maturity...maybe?

I bought Jalafuego F1 seed from johnny's a few years back, and they were consistently very hot, much hotter than the normal "early jalapeno" I had grown before. Hot and prolific and big. I ran out of F1 seed and have been growing from saved Jalafuego seed, I guess a pseudo F2. I do think they are more varied in both heat and size, now, but still better than early jalapeno and very prolific.

We stuffed and froze a bunch this year, but they were about the first frozen bags to run out. I should have buried some deep down in the freezer I guess.
