My friend is a farmer, they use that method in the fields. They never used to, I guess it works.
Florida Weave: A Better Way to Trellis Tomatoes - Garden Betty
If you want a cheap and easy way to trellis your tomatoes (even the unwieldy indeterminate plants), forget cages. The Florida Weave method goes up fast and...gardenbetty.com
Interesting. I do that with hay twine.

I implemented it into our front yard garden with the tomatoes. Made a triangle type deal with the posts then just strung the crap out of the outside of the plants. Works really well! Until your plants grow above how tall your post are!
next season im using taller posts! : )
Sure looks like it is re-vegging. I just had one do it. Thankfully she’s had enough time to re-establish herself. Quit throwing nitrogen into the nutes and hype up the P & K. That seemed to help. Also, do not use super thrive!@Oldchucky let me ask you this. Does this look like reveg to you and if so wouldn't that preclude it from being an auto? I am assuming auto's wouldn't have a need for that survival trait but F if I know. Thoughts please? Anyone else too...I am here to learn...teach me.
Yep! If it’s been going since March is definitely not an auto! Reveg it is! Sometimes they stay in reveg limbo for a couple of months! I have put some out in early May that started to flower! I immediately popped some more beans because I knew I screwed up royally! But I let the others go and in the next two months they look pretty much like yours! Going nowhere fast! I got tired of looking at them! So I executed them with some number four turkey shot! Just to make myself feel better! In my opinion, premature flowering early on is about the worst thing that can happen! Putting them out too early really doesn’t gain you anything in the fall! But it can really screw your grow up if you’re dealing with a reveg! And it is totally avoidable by just waiting until it is safe to put them out full-time or using supplemental lighting to extend the hours of daylight until it is safe to remove it! People don’t give the hours of light and dark the respect it deserves! And wind up getting torched!@Oldchucky let me ask you this.

I went and looked at my posts and it looks like I had them out full time late April. Looking at sun time hours here that would have been just about 12.5 hours day here where I am and then I had them in full sun because no one could tell what they where when they were that young. So that was too early. Good to know.
, I'll let it ride chalking it up to live and learn and see where it leads.
I think the damage was done long before any porch light affect!I went and looked at my posts and it looks like I had them out full time late April.

I also see where she showed me her sex right at the end of May.
I also wonder since I moved after I repotted her again to the back porch at night and we turn on the back lights when we let the dogs out at night and early in the morning (5am ish) when we start feeding animals. I wonder if that threw her off. Who knows.
Well I'm not gonna shoot her
Thanks!
that porch light might have been beneficial if you had used it right from the get-go! But you don’t want to use porch lights once they go into flower! You want it as pitch black as possible in your grow area! If you are askeert of the dark, then you’re gonna have problems!
It’s just that it tends to rust. That’s the only thing I know. I own a company building roads and highways. Sucks a$$ in the summer, but rewarding!

And the welds tend to pop. I’ve used it a lot as guards for my fruit trees but it doesn’t last long. I switched to using some of our left over goat fence.
I don’t get summer rain, so guessing that makes a big difference. Have these for at least a decade and never seen them break.
(outdoor grower here) I got free seeds from Seedsman 4 years ago. Read the descriptions, 6-8 feet, okay. They topped out at 12-13 feet. Totally unprepared for that! Had them in 10 gallon bags, and had to cable them to the greenhouse to stop them from falling over. Oh, and I DID top them once. LOL
LOL
lol ya superthrive is b vitamins, that is vegging horomones basically. You gotta stop using that shit before preflower.
