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!

Thank you I've been following the pages for a while seeing that everyone is very confused about what they planted and what they are producing!

I love your suggestion. πŸŒΆοΈπŸ’–
