Hey, I'm growing these guys from seeds I got from store bought peppers. In my country they usually don't specify the variety for hot pepper but I think it could be some habaneros.

Any experts here able to confirm or having better guesses ?

Habanero or Skotch Bonnet. Or one of many others.

Difficult to tell yet, but they are gonna be hot! Habanero seems like a good guess but I don't think it can be determined for sure. Once they start hitting their ripe coloring you should have a better idea.

Their parent were hot (and delicious). Thank you for your comment. What are the things to look for when they get ripe? The ones I bought were the same shape, were about 6cm long, some green, some yellow, some bright orange and some bright red.
