What? Your Walmart had Cubanelles? I am totally jealous. I have to mail order those from Fedco seeds.
Cubanelle is one of the most productive peppers in my garden. About 4 to 6 inches long about 3 inches across the top. When I first grew them I kept waiting for them to turn orange/red. After waiting what I recall felt like weeks, I picked a few (still very much green), fried them up and they were so good. I was upset for waiting so long. So don't wait for a color change, when they look good, pick them.
Does your grow light box have bottom heat? For peppers, heat is more important than light to start them. Once they sprout get them to light.
If memory serves me right, peppers take about 5 to 7 days longer to sprout than tomatoes.
