Just wondering if this is good to go,its a purple gusto so given its c

olour this might seem like a daft question

I'm loving the colour.....but i don't think its quite ready,i think they go a much deeper colour..according to what i can find,they should go green-red-purple i'm yet to see red yet though.

Certainly looks purple to me, . You could give it another few days, but I'm the impatient type, I'd pick it and enjoy, .

I always thought that all chillies will eventually ripen to yellow, orange or red. Is this not the case?

My Black Pearls are jet-black but they turn deep red when ripe.

I'm really not sure,my gut feeling is they are not ripe,from what i understand they go a really dark colour when ripe,this nice purple colour just appeared overnight,too quick to be ripe i'm thinking....would like some help on this

Right,i tried one....absolutely no heat at all ......i'm thinking (hoping) this is because they are not ripe,to make me feel better i picked a ring of fire,even though still green,bit the pointy end off,nothing,bit the stalk end off and lots of lovely heat ....it was a really nice radiating heat,can't wait to try them when red,not to mention my scotch bonnets
