I actually put the net up late, because i still wasnt sure how big the plant would get lol. And because we have strong september thunderstorms.
ideally you put it up right before flower and let the plant grow into it. For a second i thought the thing might get like 20ft tall, so i hesitated putting it up
The branches move in the net just fine, and the net it pulled pretty damn tightly. it just gives the plant branches something to fulcrum on when wind gets heavier. Keeps bud weighted branches from swinging around too much in the rain.
Honestly i wasnt sure what else to do with a plant topped early that got this big. A tomato cage can only do so much for so long lol.
And that plant specifically, its quite open on the inside. Its very sativa dominant. Wind moves through no problem. It's probably the only plant out there i dont have to worry about mold or rot with tbh. Everything sees direct sun at some point through the dayas the sun moves too, and no leaves sit on each other with that one. The willingness of field weeds to grow under her because she lets light through has been kinda annoying actually. She doesnt make big leaves and she puts em on long stems, just makes bud sites lol. That says to me the plant comes from a lineage well adapted to being rained on without funneling moisture into her flowers.
That plant is half columbian land race. And not columbian gold. The untinkered giant fire hair tree that grows in columbian rainforest mountains. She'll prob be fine lol, seriously. But she's also half high yield sativa hybrid. So i wanna make sure she can hold herself in the wind if buds get a little stupid. They prob wont, but very well might. She's def gonna have an excellent bud:leaf ratio and be easy to trim up. All the peaceblasters will even the fast ones (so far anyway).
I have no idea why so many of the phenos on this generation go into flower before they really should. But i have a solid theory. The columbian did that, it just took an eternity to finish, like, it would flower what seemed like continuously. but It was very sensitive to shifting daylight period (probably because it natively adapted near the equator where shifts happen very minutely and you have a continuous year long growing season) I think that sensitivity to shifting photoperiod from the land race, but the faster flowering of the sativa hybrid have been inherited along side each other in many phenos of this generation.
It's also why im so handily convinced its not hour count necessarily, but a plants sensitivity to transitions of photoperiod that dictates when it starts to flower outdoors. Th columbian taught me those two things, aren't actually the same thing. Would also perfectly explain why all the damn near pure sativa fast flowerin USA hemp land races adapted to flowering in short or long growing season so quickly.
