i got myself involved with re vegging this year. with the shock from indoor to outdoor lighting the plants did nothing for almost a month then started flowering. with that much time lost , i opted for no defoliation. re veg has gone well so far. plants seem to be shedding as many leaves as i would have picked anyway. my concern now is weight. there is no way this thing will support itself! i guess this is super cropping. kind of a pain in the arse , but, if anything goes right ,these plants could easily exceed 2 lbs ea. thanks to all for the information shared.

It's better to be cautious if you think it won't support all of the branches. You can go the simple route and
Rig up some support poles and use some twine to hold them up.
One good hard rain can cause some serious damage. Branches splitting off the main stalk and whatnot.
Ace sells some pretty nifty plant support poles. They're 6 foot long really thin metal poles covered in forest green plastic. (Good for camouflage)
There's also little plastic support beams that snap right onto them so you can put your support right where you actually need it.
They're excellent for big fat heavy MJ colas and they're cheap.
I like them better than tomato cages.

thanks guys i appreciate the input. monkey grinder hit the nail on the head.its all about the support. plants are in 100&200 gl pots wrapped with 8' of 6x6 wire.works great for the limbs that reach the wire otherwise its back to the string! looks like a mj marionette patch out back lol
