issue Reaper question

I have grown some Yellow Reapers and they're not hot. Any ideas about this? I have no clue.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Then they are not reapers!

I will take a picture of them once I get home from work.

I will take a picture to show you once I get home from work.

Not hot enough or no heat detectable?

 

[ahayastani]

Looking at the pictures, I'd say that Yellow Reaper is a possibility...

 

[randy32533]

Not hot enough or no heat detectable?

No sir, not much heat at all.

 

[randy32533]

I'm at a loss.

And, you know, you put a whole and also complete pepper in your mouth, with seeds and all, and chewed it - not once, twice, thrice, but so many times it becomes boring to continue counting - and swallowed it? How does your body react to a "standard" Reaper?

No sir, not much heat at all.

And what about the flavor profile? any similarity with the Carolina Reaper?

 

[ahayastani]

You tried a ripe or a green pepper? Or both?

Respond, mouth, throat, and stomach on fire. This Yellow Reaper is like a standard jalapeño.

It has a similar fruity flavor, but with much less heat.

Strange as they do look like reapers...

I have no clue. Guys at the shop like them even though they're not hot.

How many plants? One, ... ?

There is a mutation known to cause loss of pungency...
