Re: small space advice

What does a young plant do if it gets nipped before
fruiting? I get the impression that nipping secondaries
is not so bad, please correct me if I'm delusional, and
what about the main?

Well one thing for sure.  G offers help too!   Thanks man.
 
Both of my mains are on lawn already. I've been burying them on the
spot.  Two secondaries are entering the lawn.  I have a lousy lawn anyway
so it's no loss. Heck the other side of my front yard is a new stone wall
construction site! What a mess. I'm going to bury my wife there,  JUST
KIDDING I don't have a wife Mr G and my kitchen was new when I moved
in. I'm gonna call them my "wife free secondaries."
 
My first female on the 824 has remained marble size for a few days
and the flower is not advancing. I'm clearly not going to make July 14th.
