And I decided to pick them thinking this is how big they are supposed to be because this one turned red already, and anyways this thing was spicyyyyyy had a hint of sweetness too. I ate a green one, it tasted like a normal green pepper not so spicy. All poblanos I see online look a much darker green, these have stayed this size for a good while a bunch of them on each plant

Fresno, cubanelle?
Were they growing upward? They look like Fresnos and they get quite a bit spicier once they turn red
Probably you planted seeds from an unstable hybrid, which is typically what you see in grocery stores.
Where did you get the plant or seed?
Same thing happened with the poblanos I grew from seed this year! They ended up being shishitos and I think (?) a type of bird’s eye. I’m guessing this is Peppergate II, the sequel!
