I'll look later for the original post.


Just think about it. A Plant only grow so many leaves before flowering. So if the pstem is chopped when reaching about 75% height and before the plant starts stacking leaves, it still has time to grow those leaves before flowering. But not be able to add much height. ... You are de-leafing the plant anyway, so remove the upper pstem/leaves and allow the new leaves to grow at a short height.


Anyway, your in a very good position to try this without any additional cost. The info gained would/could be useful with other varieties.
The subject of this thread is not optimizing Namwa performance but field planting density. I have another thread about this subject so I will reply there

Forcing K. Namwa to grow faster
