Read this story just now, not sure if there is any truth to it or not but I thought it was interesting.

I'm not sure I'd put too much stock in that. I've picked japs from the same plant at same stage of growing and had BIG differences in heat.

The author does state that he's not sure if there is any scientific reasoning behind what he says. However, I took it to mean that ALL OTHER THINGS EQUAL, the peppers got progressively hotter as the factors he describes apply to the pepper. I'll have to remember to see if he's right next time I make something with jalapenos.
