Just thought I'd share my harvest of cayenne peppers (from another seed seller) as well AeroGarden's "Fajita" peppers (the two bigger bell peppers at the bottom right).
Heat-wise, the cayenne peppers pack a nice hot kick, while the 'fajita' peppers have a very mild heat to them. I do have to admit that the 'fajita' peppers pleasantly surprised me given that I thought they would end up tasting completely sweet like store-bought sweet bell peppers. That said, cooking either of these peppers into food seems to remove most of their heat.
With regards to the plants themselves, I grew them in a farm plus unit. The cayenne pepper plant is quite eager to grow tall, so it needed to be topped continuously. For the 'fajita' pepper plant, I topped it very early on and maybe only needed to top it once or twice again later; it ended up being a more shorter and tolerable plant in the farm plus unit.
