Rich With this tech. the eye is little or un available or inaccessible. With
no leaves providing this bud area food it doesn't develop quickly and overpower
the streaked portion. It also tends to stress the plant much less. Eventually
the eye needs to be removed but this allows the streak portion to grow more.
