I think you could wait for them to get longer. I’d look up what length to harvest at depending on whatever strain you planted

It’s a bit tricky to tell sometimes but I Try to get them just before they yellow. the one on the right got partially pollinated that’s why it’s a weird shape and it’s too ripe
