Just those side stems are bigger than most plants. How old were they when you put them in the ground? I'd have to save that sucker and make something out of it. A bird feeder or hanging basket.

Amazing grow. Looks like you will have a busy couple weeks once these beauties are harvested.

When I put them in the ground on May 24th there were a little over 1 foot tall. Topped to have 4 main shoots.

I was thinking about making coat rack????

This weekend I got my carport cover up. I may have to lift it up some still. Or just tie them over from here on out. Right now it is right at the top as it is. I was thinking of moving the carport up about 6". This carport is 10x20 and 10 feet at the peek.


Here a shot of the other end. This girl is bushy butter ball.


The birds eye view.

Here is Proud Mary. She is a monster. I moved the lattice fencing up as high as it can go. It is up about 5" from my last update. This plant wshould be cola city soon.


My potted plants or budding very nice. Lots of little buds.

And a shot looking down my yard.

I do not think this carport is going to work. I cannot move it up any for my Patio awning is in the way.

So does anyone know how I could anchor some type of clear plastic sheeting to the trees behind my plants and to my roof of my house for a cover? Any tips on how to hang plastic sheeting for it will not rip in the wind and rain? I figure I can use the carport top rim in my plastic hanging.

I was thinking a golf ball wraped in each corner to anchor the rope to???? Has anyone tried this? Also what type of plastic is the strongest for this type of need?

Any ideas please post.

I want to go from the trees over to my roof.

I would use the wood you put up around your plants before they over grew the wood frame. You would need some side pieces which you could use thos round stakes they use to support young trees. Use 6 mil plastic you can buy at HD. You can build the frame from the trees or just past the plants to the carport. Put the plastic over the frame and anchor it with lath size wood ontop of the plastic attached to the frame. You will have to anchor the vertical posts to the ground. The frame structure will prevent the plastic from ripping during rainor wind. You can leave small spaces between the lath pieces ontop to allow for drainage of rainwater.

Another way is to buy the pipe couples like the carport has to connect the pipe to build it out of metal pipe. Attach plastic to pipe and put lath wood ontop of plastic. You can buy the pipe at HD in either the electrical section or the fence section. The connectors you will have to search for. I have found them at Harbor Freight and the swapmeet

Sorry for the long post and Good luck with whatever you choose.

I just lifted the carport on top of my patio awning. I can go as high as I want now. Got the poles on old car wheels/tires to see it it will work. I have a good 1 foot on the side peak and 2 feet and the top peak. I can go to heavens now :)

I will try anything before I have to prune. Also I needed to use this carport for who knows how long the the plant on the left will take. It is just now showing multible pistals. I may have to greenhouse and heat her in Nov. some time. This carport would make this a snap.

The other plants in the ground are budding pretty good. The potted plants are getting heavy buds nows.

I will update pics tomorrow.

Well how many times have I said I THINK she is done stretching. Pssssss.t At this point it is never ending. The pics do not show how big this plant really is. I say it it 9 feet tall and close to 10 feet wide. God I wonder what she will yield? 5 lbs?


I was able to lift the carport up over a foot. I just set it on top of my roof. I am thinking this will work fine now. I hope.



we have buds now.
