Can you walk me through your process? I’m interested in this but am afraid I would fuck up.
I use a pair of vice grips set to be a little open when closed.
And I’ll squeeze (not all the way closed and it can be done with your fingers so you feel it) until you feel the fibrous tissue collapse. The section will still hold itself semi upright until you bend it over.
She’s already bounced back it seems. From what I’ve seen is even if you fuck it up, as long it’s not completely separated she will recover.
Wow ok that seems super easy 🤔 I’m gonna give it a shot.
I prefer bending it LST vs the supercropping HST style, but the stem wouldn’t allow that here haha.
On the other hand the plant can respond to stress with vigor if it’s not gonna herm too.
How’s your ladies going?
I get that. I got a bunch of LST clips that I’ve been using for a few grows now and they’re amazing, so easy, and the give the plant a shape that I think is cool 😂
Ugh I have 5 going right now but I just bought a new house and can finally build a greenhouse. I’d planted like two days before I found out I was moving. So now I have these 5 plants that are going to be enormous by the time they flower, they will have vegged for like 6 months, they’re already huge and they’ve grown though the nursery pots into a pot of soil that I’d set them in to drain. So I’m trying to decide what to do with them.
Course I’m pretty sure they also have spider mites and I still have seeds so maybe I’ll just compost them and plant again in April. I hate spider mites. I’ve been at war with these for like the last 4 grows and every time I think they’re dead I find a leaf covered in those white stipples. I’m excited to be able to get some biological IPMs going, I’m going to get some predatory mites, some native ladybugs, and some preying mantises.
I’ll let them bounce back for a couple days then get the trellis in.
