You really couldn't ask for a better resting pad!

Should fill out well I think. Few leaves yellowing off but going strong! The smell is just awesome.

well normally around April to mid-April. But we have had quite a wet summer and 3/4 of the farms around here have started spreading fertiliser already. So I'm guessing it could be earlier this year. farmers are hoping so anyway! I'm thinking it may need supporting a little, just to stop it falling apart with heavy rain?

A massive rain 2 weeks before your ready would snap the branches i would put something in.place beforehand.
.this happened to @adgas the past few days
Really you need a cage for plants that big like concrete mesh shaped in veg etc..i would recommend getting half a dozen stakes tomorrow and staking where you can for support or a heap of bamboo stakes and place them in a criss cross fashion for support...
Last year i used wire mesh this year i have used 2 4 dollar car trailer nets and a few stakes and also tied the heavy branches for support...
This is how ive done it this year

I will rig up some sort of support for it. I'd cry if it got smashed down. Will be better sorted for next season!

Even if u could put a few star droppers around it or stakes and tie the branches to them...just so the weight holds if it rains should be ok...

Ah fuck that's nasty. I will get straight on to it tommorrow. Feel a little sorry for you adgas. I would be pissed off coming home to that. Will you try and reconstruct it? Or she gone?

Shes been staked up and its still loving life, had sum most of today and all the leaves were reaching for the sky like a healthy plant, i can only assume she is ok and i hopefully wont loose too much yeild while she repairs her stems.

Good job brah. Pretty buds.

Next round outside drop a tomato cage around it when its young and that makes it easy. You can always add another outer cage if you need too
Yeh I need to build some small sheep yards, so will get a few extra lengths of sheep mesh. Will be the way to go for sure!

I have plenty of my indoor plants snap and rest on the rim of the pot, right where to get topped normally. And they don't blink an eye. But that took a beating. Good to here its reaching out for the sun!

Yeah her biggest problem is being rootbound, shes loosing leaves a bit too quick for this stage of flowering but i think she will still be nice smoke. (Hopefully!)

Great work ..us aussies are alright ay lol
Adgas i have my bubblegum losing a few leaves to early prob a bit root bound to but im unsure cos its in a smart pot and buried
Yeah not sure about smart pots myself but i think they need to be above ground to benefit from the air pruning, the roots are probably just growing through the pot into the ground? But like ive said ive never used them and its just what ive seen on forums. Do you bother with ph?
