Re: Flower Pruning??
Gus
yes if you leave the flowers on it will keep the Gibberelic acid DOMINANT !!
in the plant !! if you remove the Maristims -- (Growing point of a plant)
Auxin will find another way out like in Turtuaries or in the case of trees
Suckers and Water sprouts !! you can only stop Auxin by producing Gibberelic or by
killing the plant !!! But with Gibberelic acid you can only end it by just
snipping the flowers off it works that fast so don't set a pumpkin then remove all
the rest of the flowers trying to get more root growth you just may have
problems !!
Yes, I agree this is a good subject for the list and hopefully we can keep
it going !!!
