It works well if you have a short growing season.

Interesting!
I am curious about the process. Do you just make a vertical cut from the top of the p-stem (through the leaves too) or do you start somewhere below the leaves and essentially just make a through and through slit down the p-stem? How far above the soil line do you stop the cut?
What about timing? I.e. could I do that when I pull/uncover my plants from winter storage or should I wait....or, would it be better to do it at some point in summer and hope for an early flowering the following spring...or would it work at all with plants that must go dormant over the winter?
And from a percentage standpoint, how much shorter might this make the vegetative phase?
Any other questions I should ask
