Hungarian Black Wax Question

[Markyw]

Evening all. I must admit that I am a bit of a chilli nut I always grow the Jalapno traveller strain as well as lots of super hot chillies. This year I am growing Hungarian black wax as well. I have a quick question if anyone can advise. My plants have set loads of good size chillies
All lovely and black, the question is when can I pick them ? I was reading that they mature to a red colour is this correct or do you pick them when black.

Many thanks

Mark

You've come to the right place! There's one or two chilli nuts here. One of them that knows what there talking about will be along in a minute. Never grown Hungarian hot wax ( any colour) so can't help sorry.
What supper hots you growing?

Hi Small Pumpking
Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, Bhut Jolokia Chocolate, Reaper and Trinidad Scorpion Butch T. They do take their time in growing I have got flowers on the reaper but nothing as yet on the others.

Nice selection . Yeah they are slow growers but I like a challenge
This year I'm growing 4 supper hots.
ghost, black naga, Dorset naga and Jay's peach ghost scorpion.

When they're red, they are dry and hotter, but I like to eat them black stuffed with cream cheese

That Jay's ghost scorpion looks interesting did you get the seeds from the States ?

Thanks for that info, with cream cheese sounds nice, I must try that , I normally grill mine and like you stuff them. but I love doing it with Boursin

Ms T, I'm hoping to save seeds for our chilli circle from my Hungarian blacks but they are on a go slow (NG if you are reading this, my plants are tiny!) The chillies are black to start and ripen to red.
