First Grow: 12 ft Satvia (PICS)

Antman said:

Beautiful plant bro! When I saw the first pics, b4 it really started flowering, I said to myself, "He needs to get up on that roof and make something to hold the top of the plant up." The latest pics confirmed that. I wouldn't be worried as much about the weather as much as I would about getting her propped up. The buds look like they're getting pretty heavy now and I would hate to see that stiff Cali breeze snap that top cola off on ya! As for yield, you are definately gonna yield a half pound off the big one, almost certainly more. I had a big monster like that once, check my avatar. She's a beauty my man! Best of luck the rest of the way!-Antman

Hey dude thanks a lot for the advice. I am trying to figure out a way to support her heavy colas but cant decide the best way to get her secure. Would securing her to a bamboo stick give her extra support? I am worried about putting anything in the ground around the roots in fear of harming the root system. What about bending her and leaning her over? I am interested in any ideas that might work. I want to try to keep her off the fence due to pest climbing on board Any help would be appreciated!!

if its gone into flowering humm i donno get like a piece of wood they prop baby trees up with the root system is fine its not indoors its growing natural it will just regrow roots if damaged dont be afraid plus the root system is very large since its outdoors so your fine o u will also need some rope to secure it to the wood or bamboo

I know you're concerned about bugs getting on her, but if it's an outdoor plant that's gonna happen whether she's up against the fence or not. Knowing that, it's an easy fix bro. Buy yourself a 10 foot 2X4, screw it on the flat to the fence as high up as it needs to be, screw another piece of 2X4 on top of that one sticking out towards the plant, and screw another piece on a 45% angle into the vertical board and the horizontal board for support. Get some formable wire, like bailing wire, and you're done. That's what I would do. Like I said, unless you sprayed her down with some Neem oil or something like that, BEFORE she started flowering, I think bugs is a foregone conclussion. Just hope that the Gypsy moths didn't lay eggs on her. You'll have a hell of a time with those budworms. Good luck.

how much longer does your season last for
you are going to end up with alot of weight in stalk

I would be lucky to get another month of dry weather....haze tends to be a very stretchy sativa but it allows light to reach more branches creating more bud sites

Anyone with knowledge of sativas have any guesses on how far out I am from harvest. Weather is on the turn as of halloween weekend and I need to fugure out a plan for these girls.

Humm usually sativas can survive during cold seasons because they are late bloomers!

U might get purple colored bud if the weather make a drastic drop
