That makes perfect sense and one that would be very useful. I know you had posted about raising the growing point but I did not think about it in conjunction with being able to harvest the original Gen 2 plant to grow on and stimulate more desirable Gen 3 pups from the original mat. Before you posted this I would have just left the whole Gen 2 in ground waiting for it to do all the work. Excellent information for growers! This is why I love this group.
