Any thoughts on how you're going to avoid the secondary vine issue this year?

Hey guys. Thank you!! I am definitely going to try and grow a new PB this year! Can't wait for the season to start! Nick, I believe last years secondary problem was caused by an excessive amount of seven powder. Pretty sure I poisoned the plants with too much seven powder in the planting holes and pit. I talked to a few growers and they mentioned that it can be toxic to the plants if you put too much if that stuff in. I looked at how much I put in and the entire container was empty. Real bad mistake I made last year but I won't be adding it this year and I think I should be ok!
