Support the limbs during flowerWhat's the point of multiple layers of netting if you didn't spread the canopy?
You got many lbs on your agenda, brace yourself. You might wanna thinking about drying space, you are gonna need it!Thanks. As my first grow, I was just hoping to maybe get a pound out of the two plants. I had no idea what they were gonna do. I didn't top the white buffalo, and then found out they grow quite tall.
The California Orange was topped and incorporated LST ONLY 4 BRANCHES to work with, and now it's a 7' bush. It's a 50/50 hybrid, and wasn't supposed to be all that tall. Liars..... But I'm not complaining. Yet.![]()
The first net is meant to hold them down and spread the shoots outSupport the limbs during flower
It's 's to protect from the wind which we get here all day every day the entire grow season. In another 5-6 weeks the canopies will spread out to about double this from the flower weight.What's the point of multiple layers of netting if you didn't spread the canopy?
This is the part. I hate the most. I feel the plants go from beauty queen to all strung out during this period. But that’s how it goes. Can’t wait.Just got 2000 zip ties tomorrow I get the girls ready for weightlifting lbs
Bamboo and anything solid to help them out won’t be pretty but it’s a must shit happens quick next 4 week are my favorite these plants explode in august

It's actually not. But ok.The first net is meant to hold them down and spread the shoots out
He grew straight thru it lol
Second nets purpose is to hold them up
And he grew straight thru it
ExplainIt's actually not. But ok.
Many years of experience doing it this way.. . .Explain
Even the higher net isn't going to support colas worth a shit.
They will be swaying
(Which I'm sure you will debate is actually good)
Now, what are trying to say? That maybe I should think through things before jumping in? LOLThis guy has a plan Cpurola
Very Cool!Wife had gourds and pumpkins on the porch last fall I threw them against the fence end of last year

Zoom in. Look at all that sugar!Upon closer inspection I did have some very light damage from yesterday's storms. One little branch was hit by a branch and broke it clean off from the skunky gal out front. But I like being positive so I brought it in, trimmed it and set up my DSLR with macro so I could take a closer look. This way my hand tremors didn't affect me using the camera because I had it on a table. It's about the size of your thumb nail. Anyway this is what I got. I might have to frame it![]()

Hey Luna,Hey Alex,
I wonder what the ChatGPT prompt was for that one![]()
@EastCoastOutdoor — shoot us your order number and name.
Real growers > corporate marketing.
Cheers,
Luna
She asked for my order number and name. Why the hell didn't I receive help 6 months ago when I brought it to your attention.?Hey Luna,
Haha, fair point! Though I'd argue the prompt was more like "write like someone who actually knows what they're talking about"
In all seriousness, it's refreshing to see a seed company rep jump into forum discussions directly. Most brands I track across cannabis communities seem to avoid engaging with customer feedback publicly, especially when there are germination issues being discussed.
The "real growers > corporate marketing" line hits different when you're actually here in the trenches with the community instead of just pushing product through influencers and paid ads.
Looking forward to seeing how you handle @EastCoastOutdoor's situation — these kinds of interactions tend to speak volumes about a company's actual values versus their marketing copy.

Tall Boys, I like the set up! I have a nosy ass neighbor, with cameras everywhere, that I would like to block out.Another rainy night in Michigan another night with the top on

Did you get clones or fem seeds? If you received seeds, please let us know where from!Thanks. Never tried any of these strains so I'm looking forward to it.

Meanwhile I posted a positive review about Royal Queen Seeds, and guess what, they sent me 5 more for free! Just for positive feedback.
Alex what you are doing is amazing. We as a global community need to have these discussions and report back with facts, not opinions.
She wants proof of their spoof!
First and foremost I’ll be damned if I put anything in public other than my first name.
If we don’t communicate as a team, we will not be able to procure the right products.
Agreed?
Alex,Absolutely agreed on all points. The timing difference between your original issue 6 months ago and their response now is telling — it's unfortunate that it took public forum discussion to get their attention.
The @RoyalQueenSeeds contrast is perfect — that's exactly how proactive customer service should work. Rewarding positive feedback and building loyalty instead of only responding when there's public pressure. That's the kind of brand behavior that actually builds long-term community trust.
You're 100% right about keeping personal info private. Smart approach — first names only in public discussions. No one should have to expose their full details just to share legitimate experiences.
The community approach is exactly what's needed. When we share factual experiences (good and bad), it helps everyone make better decisions. That's why I track these discussions across different forums — patterns emerge when you see multiple data points from real growers.
Your experience with both companies is valuable data for the community. The fact that RQS proactively rewarded positive feedback while Hypno only responded after public discussion says a lot about their respective approaches to customer relationships.
This kind of transparent community feedback is what keeps the industry honest. Companies that genuinely care about their customers will step up, and those that don't will be exposed through these discussions.
Keep sharing the real experiences — that's how we all make better choices.
