My first habaneros!!! Should I just harvest these as soon as one is fully red or is there anything else to wait for?

Sorry my friend, i must inform you those are not Habaneros. Again, really sorry to break your mood.

Sorry you pepper Joe’d. As noted below those don’t look like habs.

My habaneros are coming in just like yours. They definitely don’t look like the ones I buy at the market but do match the tag my plants came with.
I’m planning to enjoy them either way, just hope they burn real good.

Kind of looks like some sort of habanero-jalapeño cross breed.

They look a bit like my aji limos, which are fruity, spicy, and really delicious. I prefer them to habs.

Joining the chorus – not habs, sorry man. Not even close to the right shape. We’re a strange group of people who spend a sizeable chunk of our time looking at peppers so you can take the community’s word when they tell you this.
But that’s okay! You can still eat them and use them, and maybe they’ll be really good – I still have the ~4 year old Chocolate Scorpion plant that Pepper Joe sold me as reaper seeds and it’s one of my favorites. Even if you hate them, whatever, you grew a cool plant.

Hallo liebe/r Chili-Freund/in, das sieht leider wirklich nicht nach einer (reinen) Haba aus. Ich habe dieses Jahr auch Samen bei Magic Seeds Garden gekauft und bin mir bei einer Serrano nicht so sicher, ob der richtige Samen im Päckchen war (3 Pflanzen vorgezogen, zwei haben fantastische kleine Chilis dran, eine ist komplett failure). Probier doch mal die rote unten links (auf dem Bild) und schau mal, wie scharf die ist. Tendenziell, je länger die hängen desto intensiver werden die und falls Du sie lieber schärfer magst, hilft es auch mal, weniger zu giessen (durch Trockenheitsdruck werden Chilis an der Pflanze schärfer).
Hoffe, sie sind trotzdem richtig lecker und haben die Schärfe, die Du Dir erhofft hast. Happy Gardening aus Deutchland in die Schweiz!

Definitely not a habernero, might be a jalapeno hybrid or possibly a pimento mix?

This year I bought Habanero seeds from a big supplier instead of small “local farmer” ones. And I thought it would guarantee the lack of cross-pollination.
I was wrong, one of the plants looks more like your plant than like other real Habaneros. I think it is cross-pollinated with some kind of other Capsicum because it has both C. chinense “warming up” spiciness and C. anuum/ baccatum “sting” spiciness.
So it turns out more hotter than other real Habaneros.

I would taste the red one. If you cut it would probably speed up the ripening of other pods.
They almost look like a ratio but they turn orange not red.

They could be habanero red Maya, I’ve grown them before, very tasty if they are.

It honestly looks like a jalapeno and habanero. When you squeeze one lightly is it firm or hollow?

Idk what this comment section is, these look exactly like Paper Lantern Habaneros. There are so many different phenotypes of habaneros. Don’t listen to these folks OP.
