Can I speed up the rirening process?

I have several types growing but for the last month it's been onesies and twosies... I can barely wait for them all to ripen so I can really do some harvesting.... they've all been coddled and fed correctly... is there an additional nutrient or something I can add to my plants to get them to really get to ripening?

And also one of the most important things....
 
Patience!! :D
 
Agreed. You just gotta suck it up and wait :)
 
Patience is key, that said, you can pick them when they start to turn color and ripen them fully in a brown paper bag with a banana but the flavor will always be much more improved by ripening on the plant.
 
I agree with what everyone's said so far. If you want more ripe pods at once, you have only two options, both of which I'd suggest you exercise: make sure your plants have enough magnesium in the flowering/fruiting stage, and grow more plants.  :eh:

I might add, start them earlier

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!
 
Stop checking them daily, i've found that looking at your plants all the time seems to magically slow the ripening LOL :D

Nice pods!
