Lemon Drop Question

I'm growing Aji Lemon Drops and Aji Pineapples for the first time this year :dance: . There are 8 plants and they are all producing like crazy….very healthy bushes. I was wondering how long these peppers take to ripen once the tiny pepper emerges from the flower…..if anyone is familiar and could just ballpark it for me would be great. Again i'm wondering how long lemon drops take to ripen once the first sign of the pepper forms. 
 
         thanks
 
Yeah, mine took about that long.  they were still quicker than my inca red drops last year . . . man those took a long time.
 
I think mine took about 5 or 6 weeks. I planted 12 Lemon Drops. That was way to many! They really put out the peppers!
