Nah, wait till it ripens. Sometimes can be a month or more before they finally kick over. No flavor when green like that, just gotta have patience. I’m in Philly area and really don’t get a bountiful harvest until September if I plant in May. Sometimes I fuck something up when just seedlings or slugs or bugs get to them when young, which can set em back a few weeks too.

I have a mystery pepper that looks like this too. I only grew jalapeños and bell peppers so going to wait for it to ripen a bit more and see what happens
The plant looks to be a cayenne variety. The tag picture looks generic to me, the “Cheyenne” name also implying cayenne variety, which doesn’t match the picture. So, I’d let them go red.
IF they stall at orange go with that just in case it is actually the variety pictured on the tag, but I think they’ll likely be best red.

Its 75 days from germination to ripe fruit per the sign. Its a bird pepper and hot. 40k Scovilles per the tag. You’ll need to wait until it turns bright red. With no green. Use it like you would fresh Thai chillies
It’s still a pretty small plant. Are you feeding it enough?

It’s a hybrid cayenne pepper called “cheyenne”. https://www.burpee.com/pepper-hot-cheyenne-hybrid-prod003164.html
