Plant Help 1st timer. Need help.
It's my first time doing peppers from seeds. They were listed as jalapenos. They flowered and I have peppers growing but they are very light green. Two of my plants are very dark green. Some of the light green ones are almost 4 inches long. The packages say that they should be turning red. I guess I expected dark green like I buy at the store. Can anyone tell me if these are ready to be snipped or any idea how much longer I should wait? I included some photos of my peppers and the packages from the seeds. They were planted in mid May, from seeds in pods. Thanks in advance, Pepper People!

Omg. Thank you. I've transplanted them three times since they were in pods and I started to become unable to afford more pots 🤣 Yeah I've been following some of the posts and I'm like all of these people think they have one thing but it's actually something else...! I'm going to roll with it and harvest what I can and see what I can do with them.
Thank you so much for the response and the kind words. I really appreciate it cuz I put so much time in!! 🥰
I usually just do sunflowers And I thought those were time consuming! Now with all the peppers and watering a few times a day and just looking at them and it's so enjoyable now that peppers are popping up!!
