Ok soser maybe were not on the same page,i dont consider fimming or topping to be genetically altering the plant myself although im sure i could be wrong,you can top or train all you want but it doesnt change the plants genes or dna or the structure of what we naturally have,now on the other hand if you DO change the genes or dna or how it would naturally grow by altering it genetically in some way im not a fan of that.Monsanto is a company that has done just that with our food crops to produce more yield than otherwise possible but it has caused side effects that are not so great hence my "monsanto'ish" comment,maybe i should have said like monsanto and it would have been more grammattically correct,If you check your urban dictionary you will find that "ish" on the end of any word means "kind of" or "sort of" so what i meant was that was kind of or sort of like monsanto.I was not sure if i screwed it up or not so i asked my daughter who told me its not proper english but two 3rd year college students should have gotten the just of it,she would give them a c+ at best for comprehension,lol,she is a sociology proffessor at one of the larger universities in boston and while she doesnt teach english she does have a masters in it and a couple books to her credit.Please forgive me as im a simple businessman and not schooled in proper english,no one on the construction sites seems to notice.
