Well all kinds of training going on this week - more photos to come as things got a little busy.
Essentially I’ve pulled down each side branch in turn, leaving a gap so I can pull the main stem over to roughly match the height of the side branches.
This way, she will pour her energy into the (now), bush of stems, instead of concentrating on one, with some energy going to side branches.
Only LST and defoliation, once I’m happy she in set in her final positions, then I will only use defoliation, and then it is only to remove a damaged leaf or one causing too much shadow to the lower parts.
Stay safe out there
You’re diaries are great and plants are beautiful!
I’ve just started a Cream Caramel Auto myself. I’m a novice, never done LST, but your diaries have me wanting to try it. You’ve helped me understand the basic technique pretty well, but do you have any beginner tips or important details that I should know?
And don’t feel obligated to reply, I’m sure you’re very busy! I appreciate the time you spend on these fantastic diaries and I’m learning a lot from them!
Thank you very much @Grackle, I’d say trust your plants and yourself but above all have fun and enjoy your time with them. Ask any questions you feel you need to as we’re all here to help my friend 👊🔥💚
