Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

I noticed today I finally have a tentatively set Chocolate Bhut fruit. I didn't get it to set fruit in its
first season.
first season.
Both of you can keep the humidity.What he said.
Love the look of those pods Harry, I really want to try some type of Rocoto next season.
Really need some warmer weather here, although this weather isn't too bad for my new seedlings. I'm getting some good afternoon sun the last few days, only issue is it is too cold at night. With all the rain we have been getting, I bet it is going to get real humid once the summer heat kicks in. Did you see in the news about having record levels of Mozzies this year?

Got a surprise today, finally got a pod ripening. Now this plant has a label calling it Red Hot, got it from a nursery. The big surprise was it was turning from dark green to brown, not something I had expected. Wasn't fully ripe but I just had to have a closer look and try eat it. 
When I cut it open it had a strong capsicum smell, and it tasted bit little a capsicum but then it isn't fully ripe yet. Heat wise was about the same as a birdseye Maybe 6/10.

Yeah, ya picked it too early... I dare say it would have ended up red.
The transition from dark green to red will sometimes be a brown colour.
Good work!

There's alot more pods where that came from so I wont have to wait too much longer for a fully ripe one. I wouldn't have picked it so early if it was something like Joeys 7 pod/pot. I have about 5 pods that have been on the plant for 6 weeks. (feels like 6 months) and in the last 1-2 weeks another 10-15 pods have started. Given that the centre was green, I think the heat was pretty good, I'm hoping once there ripe they will be hotter. 
My Yellow and Choc Habs are starting to flower again, just hope this sunny weather holds out for us.

In that case I would be inclined to think sick pod... but then again, all the "sick pods" I have tried in the past have always turned out bitter and heatless, so I dunno.
Maybe it is just one of them bastage pods that take ten million years to mature... even after it starts to turn colour?
This one is new, its only 33 cm high so I am quite shocked that it has a pod. It doesn't even look like any of the other Chilli plants at all.
Yeah, crazy, huh? Same story up here. I can't speak plant, but I bet my bottom clam that if I could, they'd be telling me they hate me for raising them in this relentlessly overcast, winter-summer of a season! (And judging by all the seemingly unexplained problems I've been having with them, I surely couldn't be too far off!)
Those in the know reckon we will be scorched soon though.
Did you mean to say "plants are loving it once the sun goes down and they stop wilting"?
I reckon I'm in for a superb year this year. Couple hundred asian birdseye have already pollinated, and I can see a mass of flowers open on the TS Butch T and 2nd year Bhut's already.

I should add Jayman i know that ya not stupid and was in no way implying that you picked too early.
Your plants, pickem when ya want!
