My experience has been that "hybrid vigor" is not a myth. I believe the original poster indicated this is a commercial venture and I thought he mentioned this pepper was a hybrid. Therefore it "may" be impractical to attempt to OP the hybrid. Years back I stabalized several Tomatoe varieties, and while they gave me the results I wanted on a personal level I did not agreat loss in vigor.
It's not a myth; but there are many varieties of open-pollinated peppers and tomatoes that do have good vigor. Some hybrid varietes seem to be harder to develop a good OP from than others. I've had some success so far with Orobelle (gold ripening sweet bell pepper), though not ready to put it out except for trial.
