Thx mate, quite a few of my chillis i am picking now, are not quite ripe, but the taste and heat about the same, i even tested a green chilli just about to start to ripe of each type, and the taste was about the same, and heat too, but mine are not super hots, yours are near fully ripe, there be fine, i am hoping to keep mine in the damp polly tunnel for at least a few more weeks hopefully, then if the plants aint got to much whitefly on them, will just keep in doors to finish off ripening, or just pick green an dry in oven.
