As Nick says, it's more to do with weather than water, at least that has
been my experience. I've tried flooding them for a few weeks before harvest
and keeping them on the dry side and not noticed a difference. If you want
Hot try "Thai Dragon" next year, I think Nick grows that one too, and they
certainly crop well out on our plot.

Not this year, for various unrelated reasons, but it does well with
me and is decently hot (without being ridiculous). It also tastes
good, whereas I find the Scotch bonnet type don't.
