I have two Poblano plants that are looking pretty good and making a ton of pods. The thing is, it's cooling off here in Northern Virginia and we have less than a month until 50% freeze probability. Should I cull all the pods and flowers that won't make it to maturity in order to maximize ripening for the ones that will?

Cull all flowers. Cull really small fruit. I'd leave the rest and roll the dice.

Here's a before and after pruning. You can't necessarily count the flowers and small peppers I culled, but, you can tell I gave the plants a bit of a haircut. Goal: leave pods that will mature and enough leaves for photosynthesis.
