Ghost chili - How long from flower to ripe pepper?

13 years ago

I am growing Bhut peppers and I am pretty excited cause my pepper plant just got a couple of flowers and just wondering if any of you have an idea on how much time it takes for a flower to a ripe pepper.

Thanks

Ted

I would say about 75 days. Give or take.

Mine will vary depending on the weather, 75 days is probably a good number. I have 50 or more peppers on mine already. Some are two or three inches long and should start ripening soon.

6 weeks or so.
