^is right. Let things ripen a lot more, give them calcium supplements also. The pods are as labeled though.JoynersHotPeppers said:Almost every pod in that picture is under ripe and one of the yellow ghosts is rotten on inside. Allow them to ripen more before picking on all others.

When they said when, they don't mean as they transition. It's like saying you can vote when you turn 18. They mean after you've done that, not the exact moment it happens. Besides, they taste like shit when they aren't fully ripe.Craiggger said:thanks for the advise. I did hear that they were hottest when they turn from green to their respective colour.
I will let them go a little longer next time. Thanks,
Tarzan said:The capsaicin production gets lower, but it's still building and piling up in ripe pod. They also get their specific taste when they get fully ripe. Keep them attached for a week or so more, shouldn't hurt. Well, depends on what you plan to do with the peppers.
