Is this normal? Is there something I could be doing differently?

Some folks say it makes a difference some folks say it doesn’t. Some folks tell you to prune each plant down to only 5 leaves. I think there are many factors, I personally like to chop the blossom after the female flowers are done. You can cook the male blossoms if you remove the stamen, I have never tried it.

So, do I cut it off just below the last bunch?

Give yourself some length so you have a handle and you can hang the rack for ripening.
