How long do you guys wait to pick for max capsaicin? I’m hoping this can stay on the plant until late August but that may be a stretch.

  1. It’s look so beautiful, Is it a Primotalii chocolate? (I think you have to wait 2/3 weeks after it changed color, for a max of flavor and heat)

    My ass hurts just looking at that. Prep your stomach with banana or a yogurt drink if you’re tackling that pod fresh. BURNER.

    I don’t usually leave a ripen pod on the plant but last time I did it with my Scotch Bonnet the pod turned out to be LESS hot.

    I also read that some varieties have maximal capsaicin when they are green, so maybe it’s not just a single case.
