Default Re: An Experiment

Looking good! Very smart to prune it! It will help a lot!

There is a technique that has been used in Asia where they leave the top leaves and cut into the lower pstem to allow the flower to escape just as yours has! The top leaves are still connected so they will still power the filling of the fruit. If I remember right it is done for religious reasons.

By cutting the male bud has been proven to speed up filling of the fruit! India has done a lot of research on it!
