Thanks Blaze :)..

I lost my Green crack (loved it) last winter and Im gonna do my best not to let that happen again.

My wife just asked why I wasnt saving the jilly and the harley...She reminded me that Harley (concentrate) works great for my restless leg.....
I told her I can buy those cuts again when I need them. (i think)
But Im thinking I may put a little Ewok pollen on a branch of Jillybean...and make some JillyWalker ;) and try that out. ( i hope Alien is ok with that)

a dumb question:

is it a pain to pull off that support mesh when harvesting? I would think it would get a bit tangled up in all the branching and possibly pull off some buds and stuph.'

Not a dumb question Kolah..the answer is YES
I hate that EFFing netting....It's always in the way....It is a Necessary evil though.
Some plants need the suport and I just cut the net up come havest time..No way to remove it any other way.
still a pain..
When Im trimming, I am still pulling string out of the buds..
Steel Hog wire might be better...but it would still get in the way
Ive seen GoD and others useing sticks in the soil to support the Buds...
and I usually have to use strings from above to tie some big colas up

How do you support the heavy branches Kolah?

I just small-time grow in my greenhouse and tie up the bigger branches with string then anchor them off on the horizontal rafter cross braces. I think for larger grows mesh is the way to go, despite the PITA factor.
I'd have to think using numerous bamboo stakes would get pricey and labor intensive.

I have a few "experimental" plants that are completely outdoors that I encircled with gardening fencing which has about 2x3 inch openings. If any of them survive up here I will probably just cut the branches off that are intertwined into the fencing, remove the fence and then pluck the plant. I have a few experimental strains that I planted on a hugeass pile of leftover dirt where I dug my root cellar. The pH of the soil was about 5.5 when I planted them (quite acidic) but so far they are doing nicely. Nighttime temps here are already dropping and last night it went down to 42 degrees. I will have to be firing up the heater in my GH but the outdoor ones will be tested for sure.
