Results of plant pinching


My organic basil plant is doing very very well! My intended results for growing a plant that has two to four main budding tops is a success in phase one.  Where there once was one main growth point I have made my plant grow two points by pinching the tops off.  Now that they have produced the result, I am going to pinch the tops off of those two points and I will have four nodes instead of one stalk growing straight up.  This produces  bushier plant as opposed to a single stalk skyscrapers.
