Well...I was wondering if I would get around to supporting my plants before they fell...as fate would have it...
I spent the weekend with some of my old Bro's that get together every now and then which I hadn't seen in 5 or 6 years.
I left hortohoney in charge of the farm for a few days...well I get a call from her Saturday as we are all eating and partying that the Purple Trash, BlackBerry Kush and the TrainWreck had fallen over.
hortohoney and I have discussed the art of getting the Cannabis plants back upright a time or two so she knows how not to move them until all supports are ready so you only move them once...I have had to learn the hard way...lifting them up and down will do more damage than just lifting them once.
So hortohoney gets some 2" x 10' posts cuts them down to 8' and pounds them in to save my girls...
What a cool and multi-skilled woman to have watching the farm while I'm away partying with old friends...one in a million...
hortohoney rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I only had a couple of posts at the farm for her to use...so Sunday I went to the local builders supply and bought 15 more posts and a huge roll of binding twine...
First some pics that hortohoney took when the girls were down so I could see how bad they looked...
Purple Trash down...notice the root ball coming out of the ground...with the BlackBerry Kush leaning in the background...
The Purple Trash is on the ground between two smaller plants...
Purple Trash down with BlackBerry Kush down in background...
Looking at the top of the cola's with the Purple Trash laying down...
hortohoney worked about 1 1/2 hours to get them back upright...
then on Sunday I finished the job...
Purple Trash back vertical...
Oh...almost forgot one Purple Myst was leaning even though it was caged...
Purple Myst posted and twined...
TrainWreck posted and twined
Well they all survived with just slight damage thanks to hortohoney.
It's all good now...well not really...
eta: I went outside to take another photo and saw hundreds of moths flying around in front of my house in the morning sun...none in the garden...yet...maybe one...got the Agribon+ 19 out and covered the girls...still working on the frame and supports...pics to follow...
Peace and Blue Skies,
