I believe this is also called Days To Maturity. 


There is another factor called GDD or Growing Degree Days.

Daytime High - (minus) Night time low/2 = GDD 

The main factor is night time low temps.  If your night time temps are above 60F  your pods will ripen a lot faster than if your night temps are in the 40's:    IE  Current temp is 66F,  last night was 56F,   my GDD = 5
