No, because there is still only one main growing point. The lower bulb will only grow the auxiliary buds while the upper bulb can grow both the main growing point and any of the auxiliary buds.
What's important is to just understand the principle. I certainly wouldn't recommend using this technique because it is extremely inefficient but it should help someone to be able to figure out a much more efficient way of achieving the same results. I normally use my photos to show what happens by using different techniques but that's only because it's easier for me to find my photos opposed to searching someone else's photo gallery. There's a member from Cincinnati that has some photos of a very efficient technique that's basically a Master Class on "Mass Macropropagation".
