###Update day 35: Phew, already 5 weeks have passed. Today, thanks to the suggestion from @Hummeraw90 (shoutout and thanks to you!), I optimized my training technique. The metal hooks aren’t particularly suitable for guiding the small shoots. At first, it seemed to work well, but a few hours later, two shoots had snapped at the nodes. Maybe because the branch moved upward and the metal hooks didn’t give way. I’m now using red jute twine and foldback clips. The clips attach nicely to the pot, and I don’t need them for anything else anyway since I rarely feel like dealing with enough documents to actually clip together. I tied the twine in a loose loop around the shoots. It can be adjusted with a tension knot I learned from a bushcraft video, but it doesn’t tighten on its own. This way, I can fine-tune the tension as needed. Yeah, bushcrafting is useful even in the city! Otherwise, not much seems to be happening right now. Either I’m checking too impatiently and don’t notice any differences, or the growth has actually slowed down. ----- Puh schon 5 Wochen vorbei. Ich habe heute Dank der Anregung von @Hummeraw90 (Grüße und Dank gehen hiermit raus) meine Trainingstechnik optimiert. Die Metallbügel eignen sich nicht sonderlich gut, um die kleinen Triebe zu lenken. Erst scheint es gut zu klappen, aber ein paar Stunden später waren zwei Triebe an den Nodien angebrochen. Vielleicht weil sich der Ast nach oben bewegt hat und die Metallbügel dann nicht nachgegeben können. Ich nutze nun roten Jutegarn und Foldbackklammern. Die Klammern kann man sehr gut am Topf befestigen. Außerdem brauche ich sie ohnehin nicht, weil ich eher selten Bock habe so viele Dokumente zu bearbeiten, dass ich da irgendwas zusammenklammern müsste. Die Schnur habe ich in einer lockeren Schlinge um die Triebe gelegt. Sie kann mittels Spannknoten aus einem Bushcraft Video verstellt werden, aber zieht sich nicht von alleine zu. So kann ich die Spannung nach justieren. Yeah bushcrafting ist also auch in der Stadt zu gebrauchen :-) Ansonsten passiert irgendwie gerade nicht so viel. Entweder schaue ich zu oft ungeduldig nach, sodass ich keinen Unterschied mehr wahrnehme oder das Wachstum ist tatsächlich langsamer geworden. ###Update day 39: Today, I realigned the branches horizontally using the strings. I also moved the string loops further toward the tips and tightened them. The training seems to be going quite well for Hemprietta, so I decided on the spot to continue defoliating. This should encourage Hemprietta to focus growth on the new shoots. Overall, I’m pretty satisfied with how the 12 shoots are positioned now. I plan to let her recover for about a week before gradually initiating the flowering phase and ending the training. If necessary, I might fine-tune the final positioning and height at the start of flowering with a small ScrOG net. ----- Heute habe ich die Zweige mit den Schnüren erneut horizontal ausgerichtet. Dazu habe ich auch die Schnur-Schlingen weiter in Richtung der Spitzen verschoben und nach gespannt. Das Training scheint Hemprietta ganz gut zu verkraften, daher habe ich mich kurzentschlossen dazu entschieden weiter zu Entlauben, damit Hemprietta das Wachstum verstärkt in die neuen Triebe lenkt. Insgesamt bin ich ziemlich zufrieden wie die 12 Triebe sich nun positioniert haben und plane nach etwa einer Woche Erholung langsam die Blüte einzuleiten und das Training zu beenden. Eventuell kann ich ja die endgültige Positionierung und Höhe zu Beginn der Blüte noch mit einem kleinen ScrOG Netz nachsteuern.

I would advise staying away from metal for training. I have snapped a few branches over the years using them I like to use lst grow pots that have holes around the top. You can use string to gently pull each branch where you want.

@Hummeraw90, Thank you very much for your tip! I actually noticed that two of the shoots were damaged when I checked 12 hours after the training. Thanks to your advice, I’ve now fixed all the shoots, except for the main branches, using string and foldback clips.

Looking great. I like the 4 branch mainline. Started two laughing buddhas last week along side some sour strawberry. Going to choose the best ones and give away the others.
