Patience is a virtue in chile growing.   Unripe poblanos make great chiles relleno.

  In fact, in México where chiles are served a lot,  many are used green.

I misspoke, 1000 fotos for free with Flickr.

Chiles are self pollinating.

Serranos are good for almost anything and are easy to grow.

I dumped photobucket for their copyright violations; I hope they are sued for this, Paul.   Flickr will let you have 500 fotos for free. Given that most of my fotos are on my media, I rarely get greater than 250 fotos on Flickr

The Photobucket watermark is very distracting on your fotos.

All chiles are native to the Americas.

Naming chiles by growers and marketers is a primary problem in chile taxonomy.   Your Xalapeño is different than my Xalapeño..........

You can clone any time you want when the plant is alive.   You can also clone the overwintering plant.

What I do is cut a piece of the stem with at least one node and put it in a piece of rockwool and put it in water.   I also took a similar piece and put it in a glass of water.   It's not complicated

Cloning is really quite simple and is a great growing tool, especially for chiles.   Learning something new is beneficial.

  Ignoring the impulse is the point of the experiment.

If you clone the chiles you like, you won't have any problems with crosses.

If you pump buckets in parallel and not in series, overflow won't be a problem nor will pressure drop.

Some kind of annuum
