Stressed Chillies

[georgej]

I'm keeping my habanero plants indoors, cause each plant still has 2 dozen pods on them that are starting to ripen. But, japanese apartments are really badly insulated.

Will the really low night time temperature be stressing the pods at all?
The pods are alot bigger than the summer ones, I'm wondering what the heat will be on them. They're feeling very dense!

same here, my summer ones are small, i think they're stunted, show us some pics.

Hard to get the scale because my hands are enormous...

They are reds, but forming more like oranges in shape. The ones that ripened are not as deep a red as in summer.

They are about double the size of the summer pods. Can't wait for them to ripen! It's being slow though cause it's so cold!

Confirmed - winter reds are so much hotter! Cooked with them tonight and was blown away!
