The tomato cages work well for me, as long as I don't overload the space. I cut the top portion of the cages you see in the pics so that they aren't too wide, but still are tall enough to provide support. If I keep the congestion to no more than one plant per square foot, the cages have enough room, provide plenty of support and places to tie up any branches that escape the inside of the cage.

I used the bamboo stakes for taller gals for awhile, but found that unless I wanted to try to tie up multiple branches on a single stake, I would have to use 3-4 per plant. With the cage, it's just one support structure that I can let the plants stretch into without having to chase the branches and tie them up to the stakes. This is very helpful with floppier plants that like to branch out.
Yea i think i will go again with them. The last grow stretched a lot more than i thought and got a little tall for the cage. I try to pull them out once a week for a good inspection you just have to be careful not to bump the cage into something (tips over easy)

Fresh rez, little trim and tie down. Planning to let the four tops grow a bit more and tie down, top one more time for eight tops then flower.

I just seen my 3 GG4 S1's I gifted to my bud who lost his garden, mentioned in the past. I can only say, I am not easily amazed by many plants, but those are the most beautiful looking plants I ever seen coming out of a one gallon smartie. One plant has a main stem as big as a broom handle, at 3 foot tall, been topped, hearty big tops all over, easily cloned and some of the lower fanners are bigger than than my own hand by a third, and they have just started flowering. Granted, went from my promix growin to her organic soil, but he just tried some colorado gg4 a friend brought back and I told him, just wait and see and don't fuck nothing up, but I have to say right now, with the fems I've tried, Useful and Rusty at CV are running a very close race on the best fems I have grown or seen, with no herms. I guess others have had some with CV, not me and Ive not read nobody having any with Usefuls stuff. I just can't get over how they looked out of a one gallon smartie. We took pics, but his phone didn't send it to me, for some reason. I may go back out tomorrow with cheap camera and take some shots. Kudos to you, Useful, it becoming noticeable, with all the mistakes, herms, bad stories etc of fems, Not one negative report on yours. Whatever your system is, you should teach it, well maybe not, just reap all the rewards, but thank you for getting stable fems out there for patients to have great meds to enjoy. Peace and karma bro, hope life gets better, you've bettered mine. I get those pics up, you see. lol
