All, I'm a long time reader and love this place for great information. I've been growing a reaper plant from seed since Feb. The plant has taken off outside and is loaded with large green pods, some have been green for over 5 weeks... Unfortunately, a storm just swept through and took out two of the large branches. Will these peppers ripen to red now if I remove them from the branches? Should I try to leave them on the branches and dip the end in water to see if they'll mature a bit longer. Advice needed asap.
