									Final pic in my test to force grow secondaries by cutting the main vine tip.  The 5 closest secondaries to the tip grew like crazy but the ones closer to the stump were still sluggish.  A new secondary took over as the main and grew very fast, but this "new main" failed to grow any secondaries.  I culled the plant this weekend at about 15 feet and 5 good secondaries.  The 2206 that was next to it can now have all the room to grow.
