So I went canoeing the other day, and a little thought popped into my head. So I went canoeing again today, and stuck 5 auto onyx seeds along the river bank in 3 different spots near to stinging nettles each time. I'm back in @912GreenSkell ! (If its not too late!)

They will be from seed outside so I'll be lucky to get much, but will keep you all posted!

I'm intrigued about the washing pegs. Is this an attempt to stimulate side branching? If so, does it work and does the top still develop normally afterwards?

Not exactly, the reason I do it is because after topping them, there's a great big hole down which all sorts of nasty shit can crawl / invade.
It's an open wound. The clothes peg closes it and helps create a seal, allowing the plant's natural 'water pressure' to resume quickly.
I think of it a bit like the 'stitches' you get at the hospital when you slice your skin open, closes the wound, helps speed up the healing process ... so I guess as a result, side branching will be quicker imho.

Works for me.

I as well am curious about the clothes pins.

Water flows up a plant by capillary action, a pressure differential between the top and bottom of the plant ... when you chop it's head off, you're instantly creating a pressure drop at the top causing the plant to cease fluid (and therefore nutrient) intake. This is why it droops. It takes a while for the plant to redirect it's internal plumbing and readdress the pressure drop. If you seal off that wound quickly, it allows the plant to resume it's normal internal fluid pressure much faster, facilitating a faster recovery ... plus it keeps pests and disease out ... just like getting 'stitches' at the hospital.

I read it somewhere on a gardening forum in another life ...

@912GreenSkell , I've decided to withdraw my auto entry from the comp. My autos this year are just not the type of girls who like to show off. We've still had very little sun here, and they're going to be bud on a stick style.

They're going to give me a stash no doubt, I've got quite a few lol...but no single one looks like someone who wants to dance around in public.
My photo entry is taking it better, she's looking pretty nice all things considered
Day 45 pic for her. Z6 x Harle Tzu

Thanks brother It always works out ok. Definitely have a few fine points to tune up here but it'll always be tricky with mother nature involved in this country lol
