Are there green jalapenos? And if these are green jalapenos do the “stretch marks” mean they’re ready to harvest?
Or will these eventually change colors? Just wondering when to harvest them

In my limited experience and from what I’ve read about jalapeños the corking is from quick growth and sometimes indicates a hotter pepper. Plus they should eventually turn red when they are fully ripe. The great thing about jalapeños is that they taste good at any point in their life cycle.

They will turn red when ripe. I personally like them with just a blush of red. Get a touch of sweet but still crisp.

I like them when they are green or just barely starting to turn red unless I’m making sauce. If I’m making sauce I like them to be red.
You can harvest them now or wait however long you like. If you don’t know the difference between green and red I’d recommend trying both out and seeing what suits you.

Inside grows faster than the skin. Totally normal and acceptable. You have to decide when you’re ready to harvest. They’re good to go now, or you can wait until they turn red. Everybody is different. I like em green and crunchy.

I let a bunch ripen to red and dehydrate them. Jalapeno powder is next level.

The corking (stretch marks) are signs of a maturing chili. You can harvest jalapenos at any point but since you’ve waited this long, you might as well let them turn red. Red jalapenos have a better flavor, imo.

No, those are actually black habaneros. The stretch marks mean that they’re not ready to harvest.

The best jalapeño is both ripe (red) and corked (what you’re calling stretch marks.

Stress marks are called corking and occasionally happenss with inconsistent watering. Jalapenos can be picked when they start going red or when they reach a size you like.
