My cayennes have been big for like a week and a half at least, but refuse to turn red. What gives? It's been hot, we've reduced watering them, but no ripening.

Same with the habaneros, but they've only been big for a few days.

    Peppers take an eternity to ripen. You can harvest them while they're still green if you want. They'll taste mostly the same, maybe a little bit less spicy.
