I have built a small 1.2m * 1m area just a basic box using the concrete floor and 2 brick walls . The remaining walls are brick and slab. Filled with a small layer of gravel and at least 1 * 50ltr compost.
I decided to keep at least 1 of the girls near me . So she is sat in the make shift flower bed .
I am low stress training another one , she is going to be like a ballerina. Pirouetting around the bucket that she now dwells in . Try to compact and disguise her shape and frame . All four girls are doing well. However there was some blotching on the lower leaves . I'm thinking too much water and not enough heat and / or the droplets from the roof of the greenhouse ( then I would expect to see the same on most of the leaves )...

A little of both . The one in the garden will be topped and the one that is being shaped will also have crowning done .

Yeah, I'm curious too!
Ok . Update on the girls. They are doing well at the moment . Lots of growth and some evidence of slugs . Apart from that , all ok
This is the one I am shaping . The nodal branches are stretching nicely.
They are all barring one ... In buckets sat in garden .
This one is one of the 2 super #61's . We are about 5 or 6 truss high . Although the local is slightly shaded . She gets the sun . I most certainly will not be re-locating her.
This one is in the greenhouse, stretching . Probably take a few cuts off her .
This next pic , looks sad . However she has had a drink since I took this pic and this morning I checked on her and she has perked right up ...
she is the other super#61

I agree. Going to have to top soonGood root systems on those by the look… should come in handy when they’re in the ground
That super 61 in the bed looks like it’s going to be a beast

Very nice Kree! I'm going to do some similar training as you, fun times ahead of ya! Cheers
funny I'm just going to tend to her now . She needs another sessions of manipulation, I will need to restrain her a little more.Training is okay , all the time you have the time if you know what mean .
Just on the Lemon cake at the moment. I believe there mite be might ( visa versa ) lol , it's the way I tell them.

I have identified a couple of cuts to take , thinned out her stems a little . . . Started with some 1.5mmsq cable/wire and found an anchor point and gently shape the cable around . A few screws for anchorage and some more wire .
Here I just use the tension between the uplifting of the stem and the strength of the wire to hold .

Wow, that's some serious training. Looking forward to the results!
I too am curiously anticipation for sure . Yeah it looks serious, yet it is relatively simple . That is once one has learnt what one cannot get away with .

All doing their thing you know . I see your girl is recovering nicely from her little accident. Should be strong flower, yum yum...How’s things looking mate?
