Portland area greenhouse grow

they can get as wide as they want after they get past the bucket.

wire cages will get expensive and will probably keep me from being able to water upon consideration, doublejj. thank you for the idea though

i will need all the help i can get to pop my outdoor cherry successfully.

Does that mean you get to bash him if it doesn't? haha.

don't use fishing line when tying up your girls, you'll cut em'. fishing line cuts very well, and a little extra weight and it could slice right through smaller branches. There's lots of different ways to tie and stake, but what I do is put 4 stakes out a few feet away from the plant, and then get some 1' slats, 6' long (cheap at any lumber store)you can get a bundle of 100 for like 50 bucks if you need that many, but use the slats and tie them to the stakes with zip ties or something. Look at my thread in my signature toward the end and you can see what I do. You can add netting over the top of it too if you want. I think I'm gonna do that this year too for extra support for EVERY branch.

Cool grow! I was just in portland a few months ago! Did the hood river saturday market everything! Such a nice place to be!
