Forgot to mention the method I used.
First of all this took me 3 hours as I was being really careful.
I would pinch the stem where I wanted to bend it for like 2-6 minutes each while gently wiggling it back and forth in my fingers as the directions say to do.
Before I did the actual bend in each branch I would wrap the stem where I had weakened it - with a strip of cling wrap and then I would wrap the cling wrap in black electrical tape (not too tight, but tight enough)
Then I would bend it the direction I intended for it to go.
(I wrapped them all if you are wondering, even the ones that didn’t/might not have broke just to be on the safe side.)
I do know for a fact some of them broke..
Not much I could have done about that.
Definitely a newbie at super cropping.
Either way these branches would have been lost from heat / mold ETC.
I will take all the bandages off in 14 days or so. If a branch dies I will obviously remove any nuisance that would hinder the plant from growing.
