I mean, in my semi-arid area, I don't have to worry much about light levels when I dry peppers. It has good advice, and several methods, but some of what they say about the bowl method is rather overkill for some areas (although following all the advice certainly won't hurt). Here's a link that outlines some processes for drying peppers, including safety tips. Chile peppers are normally pretty easy to dry, and if you dry them, you can use them at your leisure. So, I wouldn't be surprised if that happens. I'm not sure about the Carolina Reaper, but many chile peppers (including all of those others I mentioned) will ripen a large amount of fruit at approximately the same time. Ring of Fire is supposed to be 60 days, in fact (but, it was much later for me-although still productive and tasty). (I've read about a whole lot of peppers, and that's the general range I've seen.) Most chile peppers take somewhat longer than sweet peppers to ripen, however, but there are early chile peppers. Peppers generally take between 60 and 120 days after the transplant to get mature fruit. I also got plenty of fruit from a number of other varieties (Ring of Fire, Aji Omnicolor, Yatsufusa, Grandpa's Home, etc.) at varying stages of the season. I did, however, get a very large plant from the Carolina Reaper seeds (it may have needed a bigger container I had it in a 5-gallon bucket, and it was bigger than all my other pepper plants). I tried growing a Carolina Reaper this year, but I only got fruit indoors, while the Orange Carbonero chile plant I grew indoors next to it got loads of fruit after the transplant outside. I don't know what kind of soil they're used to (but probably the usual ideal for peppers). I believe the variety comes from South Carolina (so the growing conditions there may be more like ideal than many areas). However, in some areas and/or soils (such as mine) it may take much, much longer for Carolina Reapers to mature (like maybe longer than the season). If the variety isn't used to the growing conditions, it's possible that this might also delay ripening.Ĭarolina Reapers are supposed to take between 70 to 90 days after the transplant before maturity, but other varieties may be earlier or later (it really depends on the variety). Maybe I should move them into direct sunlight as they are not established and not going to scorch to death.Ī month is not a particularly alarming amount of time for a chile pepper of any variety to stay green, especially depending on your soil and growing conditions.Could the fertiliser be providing an problem by providing a unbalance in nutrients?.Generally speaking how long does it take for chili to mature.Are Carolina Reaper always suppose to turn red? Could it be I have a green variety? Have not seen anything on the net about this.The fertiliser product can be viewed on this product page.

Temperatures of 40 degree centigrade and the sun can be deadly Some background about the growing conditions.Ĭhilli plants are housed in a grow cage with a shade netting(letsĩ0% light through), I live in Sydney west where we are seeing Note that I planted some Ghost chili with this(pale white variety) and they are also fruiting and turning paler. The chillies are also getting quite huge and even though I use them in cooking I only need a small amount at a time, these chilli's are low grade tear gas. I am worried if I leave it longer they might become mushy and unusable. However the fruits have not even started turning red and some have been around for more than a month. Now the plants are doing well and one is producing a lot chilli fruits. I recently planted several types of chilli including the insanely hot Carolina reaper.
