Alan,
Blowing off the ends is a term Jack LaRue came up with when a plants'
runners
are growing so fast that gravity doesn't have time to pull them to the
ground
before they get too much weight beyond the point where the runner touches
the
ground and they break off. It looks like they were blown off from a cannon
inside the runner.
I am not sure if it is a good analogy or not, but the term sounds cool.
Take Care,
Brett
*********************************
Brett-thanks for the that.I recognize the occurrance now but I don't think
there is any advantage to pushing a plant that hard.On the other hand it's
only the final result that counts,so I guess if it works it's advisable to
do.Sounds a little scary to me though.
This also makes me wonder,since I am pushing my plants as hard as I dare and
the growth is as good as the best ever,why are my vines just laying out
normally and not exploding.--AE
