I didn’t notice it until I noticed it.

[CC_Mo]

Ok, that made me laugh.

[merlin44]

Another example of silly “old guy” humor.

Happy day @CC_Mo How time flies.

[Twelve1]

Looking great!

@merlin44

On the training front @Twelve1…There has been little of interest going on. Just continuing to remove lower growth and bending branches without tying them down.

Cool. I can see that they aren’t laying flat and parallel to the soil, LOL, and yet the training makes a difference. And then the scrog will help, of course.

Your bending the branches without tying them down is the same as how you mentioned last week?

I’m assuming that you manipulate/soften/roll the branches just so that it’s considered before the point where they would get to the supercrop stage-type of manipulation … if I’m saying that right.

I don’t recall if you plant them in the center of the pots, or do you plant them a bit off-center?

Thanks, Merlin!

@CC_Mo Happy Canniversary!

Thanks @Dforce ! I was on my phone & didn’t notice it. Swapped to the iPad & boom, got a slice of cake.

Yes…

No super cropping just yet…I could but I wait until the SCROG frames are in place before crushing the stems before bending them.

@Twelve1

I go both ways on that…this time I just put them in the center. I should put them off center to accommodate my training technique. It just bugs me (a little bit) to see them off center immediately after transplanting so I tend toward the center.

So, you’re saying you got a little OCD without saying you got a little OCD? Gotcha!

Makes sense.
OK, yeah, “crushing” is the word I was looking for regarding the supercropping, as opposed to only softening the branches.

Happy Canniversary @CC_Mo , thanks for sticking around

[CC_Mo]

Thanks @MattyBear , you couldn’t run me off with a shi**y stick!

[Big123]

Brilliant work @merlin44

[merlin44]

Thank you @Big123, high praise indeed from an astonishing grower such as yourself.

[CygnusX1]

Nice vette! What do you think of the C8’s?

[merlin44]

@CygnusX1

What do you think of the C8’s

I don’t know a lot about the C8’s but would love to have one if I were 20 or 30 years younger.
