I just picked the very last of my overwintering orange rocoto pods.  Looked wonderful, but had absolutely no heat or flavor whatsoever.  The very first pod from this plant was hot, but not as hot as my red rocotos and much tamer than my yellow rocotos.  My early yellows were hotter than my Red Savinas & orange habs.  (to me)  Does the amount of light have something to do with heat level?  All my indoor varieties declined in pod heat as the winter went on.  My plants are only getting sunlight from a large south window.

Does anyone else grow orange rocotos?  How is the heat level of your pods?  And lastly, should I even bother to save seeds from the heatless pods?
