Are you removing the pups to plant elsewhere or just trying to kill them?
JIC you're trying to keep all the pups.
Most people will fall into these 3 groups.
1. The ones who have done it wrong, and will say it shouldn't be done and then add
some anecdotal evidence.
2. The unsure, and do nothing.
3. The ones who have done it correctly, and realize it can have no negative impact on mother
or bunch and could add anecdotal evidence proving it increases fruit size and bunch weight.
Remove pups while mother plant is fruiting?
