In the 5th set of photos of this post, i show how far you can go in tiny spaces in being enough carefull with the cambium. I mean to count more on the heat of your hands to bend than on the “crunch” of the fibers and cambium, without struggling the stem in all its circonference anywhere. The plant shown is in fact totally “upside down” by training (and she “think” than she’s a tall plant) and its real height is around 1.4 meters all in line.
This way, in meaning to care about to print minimal wounds, the plant never stop and never need to recover (zero days of production losted, clones or flowers). It’s also important to let the plant increase freely the diameter of top prior stems, it’s a fiber plant, so any limitation in all the height of the trunk is a limitation of the whole upper part. Take a look specially on how i deal with the “ropes” of the training, it will make more sense ;o)
