What up Farmers. Day 51 and still a couple, if not, three weeks to go. I’ve hit a milestone where I think I need to hold some of these colas up before they break. I’ve got 2 trellis nets up which are working great for the lower branches, but I didn’t anticipate the monsterous stretch of the main branches. I’ve researched and came up with some ideas but I’d like some feedback from the farm. What do you guys use to hold up your trich filled resinous colas upright? Fishing line sounds desirable but fiddling with fishing line right now doesn’t. Let’s converse. Here’s some of the bigger colas that need assistance.

Thanks OD. I think my wife falls into a different generation don’t think I’ve ever seen a pair of those laying around here. I think some of that soft engineering colored stuff they use at the end of grade stakes on construction sites would work great.

Yes that will work as well it is funny how the generations have there little quirks She is a high flying business woman and there's always extra pairs I even use her bras to hold up my tomatoes in summer I'm so cheap .od

In a tent you can use those retractable plant yo yo’s. Hook to roof bars and attach to the colas.

Or just use string.

 

[Aqua Man]

I do the same as @MIMedGrower use string but the yo-yos look like they would be the most ideal

I dont flower in a tent. I use bamboo stakes and soft tie. But if i trellised i would hang 2 nets. Failing that the yo yos look slick.

Me too. Lol. But now i cheer for them to stretch as much as possible and bend and train. Stretch is yield.

Dont tell the noobs ;-)

Yeah one of the best parts of a grow is to see them explode like that. Now that we have experience on when it stops. That first time just gives you more grey hair by the day and even when they stop the next few are stressful wondering if it really did stop.

Now it's like go ahead grow another 3inchs and see what happens... I dare ya.

I use green bamboo sticks but a lot of people use yo-yos, good luck

My last crop stretched over 100% caught me with my pants down too. Previous attempts at that strain weren't nearly as leggy. Cloned from those very plants. Ended up cutting day 9 flower... probably cost me in the end...

Gotta love the sativas though. They finally stopped stretching mid way through week 4. They are currently Sitting at 56” with the trellis nets about 35-40” Oops.
