When you realize that the little hidden branch will not amount to anything... clone it, and turn it into a tree...
Growing outside...
Take two clones today...
Take two in a week
take two in three and four weeks....
They will all "Finish" at the same time...
The sun is your light switch...
When the days shorten, all of the plants will have the same clock...
That means, one or two may be a week behind or ahead....they will all finish about the same time...
Have fun!
