Big plant, small fruits

Hi, my fruits seem to stop growing in size at a very small stage for some reason. I have a ghost, a scorpion yellow and a chocolate habanero on my terrace and they all have the same problem. They are in good quality soil and I just recently added a bit of fertilizer, which was sold specifically for peppers. They were just watered before the pictures, I usually bottom water them every day, since its 30 degrees here now.

Also it feels like they have been just sitting on those trees for ages without ripening. How long does it usually take?
 
 
Great looking plants. The plants are healthy enough.
The pods do take a lot of time to ripen , and they do get bigger as the plant matures.
The bigger plant and pods looks like your choc hab...?
 
the first round of pods on a plant tend to be smaller and off the real phenotype. Wait till the second flush to see if they're the right size/shape
