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 )...

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 ...

Good 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
:tiphat: 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 .

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 .
