Fantastic work Madame @Twelve1

@Twelve1

I’ll improvise as I go along

Small suggestion: Once I used 4 wooden bbq skewers planted in the cup, all around the edge. That gives you a “frame” to help rotate the plant around the cup and gives you something to tie the higher branches to…

4 wooden bbq skewers planted in the cup, all around the edge.

I’ve seen you do that and I wanted to, but do you put in the skewers before putting in the seed?

I don’t want to damage her roots, if I did it now.
Any opinion on doing that now? (I have the skewers)

@Twelve1

do you put in the skewers before putting in the seed?

Nope. I just put my stakes in whenever I need them or have the time to do what I need. Just put your stakes right up against the cup wall and you’ll do less “damage”.

It seriously can’t be worst than having a third to a half of their roots pruned, imo…

Plant away, I am 99 % sure your babies will survive.

Even when I staked my latest Flèched girl, I just planted bamboo stakes all over without regards for the root placements and my baby never complained.

Thanks, Kap!

I just added that part after you saw the post. I wanted to make sure you’ve seen it…

Thanks, I didn’t see your edit.
Yeah, I’d do the edge.
Still …

OK, not that scared.

@kaptain3d Maybe put a skewer about here, or tad further “up”, (my hand moved while taking the picture), so that she can’t “escape”? LOL

Also, should I put the skewer all the way down into the cup?
Maybe, in order to secure it fully?

[kaptain3d]

If you tape the skewers outside the cup with some duct tape or something really sturdy, I’d say put them a bit higher to get more support for longer…

If you plant them in the soil, just inside the cup against the sides, I would put them all the way in to give you a more solid support.

@kaptain3d

I would put them all the way in to give you a more solid support.

Yeah, my thinking, too.

I heavily towards inside the cup, since she’ll want to push outwards, and I don’t want to cover any of the air/watering holes with tape.

Thanks for your help!
I need to take care of a couple things, then I’ll do the deed!

[Twelve1]

Resistance is futile!
Hehehehehehe
@kaptain3d

[kaptain3d]

Now that’s a nice start!

[Twelve1]

Thanks for your help!

And I suppose when the cup needs balancing/weight, I could put a skewer or two on the lighter side and add some weighting gadget(s), if I don’t have skewers over there already for training.

The 2 Auto Montreal I soaked didn’t do anything. No cracked shell, nothing… So I put Canucks Afghan to see what she’ll do…

[Lightbrightt2010]

I don’t think this is meant for you to participate

[kaptain3d]

I still have a Burnt Honey Cake seedling that showed up…

[Lightbrightt2010]

Oh I didn’t think either popped

It’s all good I know you won’t stop dropping em you finding out what’s not good though

Looked in on the lil girls today, they still alive.
