Two things happen when someone does this....

1 - The obvious stress to the plant....(like mentioned)....

2 - Since 90% of outer growth is removed....the last 10% are left to absorb ALL the energy the established root system will provide.... So instead of being the lower popcorn growth, they now become the apical shoots....

This sounds like..(shaking head up and down)..something I'm going to try....:jointsmile:....
