Not really just kinda of took that one as a loss and replaced her .
I only have 4 of 9 plants in the ground and lots of veggies for these gophers to choose from so just kind of hoping for good luck with those.
But i am spraying with bt and neam more regularly though since the caterpillars got me on my autos which cause more rought then I would have liked for sure.

Here's some pics of the smart pot girls there all well over the shovels hieght now and the big one is pushing like 8 feet and getting fat.

2 pics of each plant

Plants look awesome. I would do another layer of bamboo privacy elevated 2 feet off the ground. I would also think about some supports. This is a pretty easy and effective suppot (even better with cross supports added)

Good idea yeah she is peaking over at my neibors drive way I'm kinda just hoping there cool ha hopefully
And nice so just run that green tape to the main stem and tie here up?
I was going to put 4 post and do trellis netting so she can grow through some and that will hold the buds up I had bad sagging branches last year.

Kinda like this with post holding the netting not just thrown over the plant
What do ya think?

Wow man it gets pretty crazy up there
I will Forshur anchor the netting into some steady post

When do you normally do yours?
Since you don't want it to grow through the netting toooooo much.

What size pots are those? Crossfade? By the pool

100 gallon pots and I do the horti netting normally towards end of august and use the wire cages up till that time four tee post 8 foot wrap with netting and your plants will be good to go once mine were netted they went through hell and did great.I was pissed when I got home to see them on the ground heartbreaking but I learned the hard way.
