heavy peppers

when is the best time to weigh peppers? Are you guys measuring and weighing them when they quit growing or do you cut them when they flash a different color like tomatoes.

Hey Mike, from my limited experience I am sort of sure that they are at there heaviest after they turn red. There is some risk involved in leaving a pepper on the plant for an extended period of time until they change over. I have no way of knowing what the difference might be but I found that the red ones did weigh more according to measurements I took and they did seem to be a little thicker. That's all I can say about that. Best of luck.
