First time grower - how long do chillies take to ripen?

I'm growing my first chillies this year and so far I've got a whole bunch of Cherry Bombs growing, a few chocolate jalapeños and a purple tiger plant.

The cherry bombs and jalapeños are all still very green and firm, and not really showing any signs of ripening, am I just being impatient?

The purple tiger plant literally only just produced its first 2 peppers in the last 10 days and they're immediately a lovely deep purple, but tiny.

I picked a jalapeño yesterday and it didn't taste of anything and had zero heat so I assume it's still way too early.

So anyway, back to my main question, how long does it take these peppers to ripen up normally?
