I put my plants out probably a week too early and they stretched (lemmy.world)

I think they'll be ok, they had thrown a few pistils but I don't see them now. But I was already worried about height and now I especially am.

Yeah I'm going to hang some weights, I think. I figured cannabis plants being too big is a good problem to have ๐Ÿ˜‚ my season doesn't officially start until today, so these won't get harvested for like 6 months. I think I could do pretty much whatever to these and they would recover in time.

I hear ya there, though I've seen my fair share of "too big" that snapped their trunks. A +16ft Strawberry Cough, for one. Incredible colas and Bs as big as your hand. Granted, that was outdoor, back when it was lucrative to travel for the season, but still. Watch your girls, and be sure to keep them prioritized. If you've got a friend with a printer, ask them to knock out some clips. ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿฝ

I actually have a fuck load of clips but I'm nervous that, because the plants are so... robust? That I won't be able to bend some of the older branches.

Start out gently and arc ~5% or so (rather than the >15 <90 for young stems), or just Velcro tie them off to distant points on the greenhouse walls. You're right, though: gotta be nice and tender to the thicc stalks

Awesome sounds like I've got a roadmap at least, I figured I was stuck! Thank you for your advice

[โ€“] littlebluespark 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hell yeah! Happy to assist, and I'm excited for your greenhouse to fill up with beautiful green for daaays. ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿฅณ

Dude I heard that these plants can yield upward of two pounds each! That's so much weed lmfao I won't be able to smoke it all ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm so excited

For real, though! ๐Ÿคฃ And, don't forget that the sugar leaves & trim are perfect for RSO, etc., too! Every year, I grow the max allowed legally in my location, and I literally give away whole branches when friends visit for boardgames, bbq, or just to borrow something. I'm still working my way through the cured batch from 3 years ago... ๐Ÿคช

What a time to be alive! ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿฅณ
