Been there, done that. I was using a thinner wire fence and figure out I could cut them and leave an inch and then bend the sharp end out of the way. Learned the hard way though.I did exactly the same last season, cutting holes was needed for access. Had me bleeding like a stuck pig..razor sharp edges. Careful my friend.
As soon as I cull my males, I think I'm going to try this. Thanks for the info.Cages are made out of 6x6" concrete lath. Picked up 7'x42" sheets at Home Depot for $8 each, they sit inside the containers.
I had to take a load of crap to the county recycle yard, and they sent me out back to the huge piles to unload the truck. I picked up a couple of small rolls of the 6X6 wire while I was there. As well as a few half sheets of plywood. Leave a little, take a little, right?Cages are made out of 6x6" concrete lath.

My Willamette Valley Pineapple is taco'ing like crazy, but the others are all fine. After all that rain we had, I haven't had to water yet, might be a while before things dry out enough (my girls are in the ground).How's this influx of hot weather affecting your ladies? My leaves have been tacoing a bit, but other than that they've been thriving.
I'm pretty sure I've read it's bad for bees. Maybe someone else knows for sure. It can be confusing because like most industries, they'll put out "data" indicating its safe, and sometimes its true and sometimes its BS.Looking at spinosad this year
Yeah I think I read that also. I don't want to harm anything other than the pests on my ladies. Think I'll keep looking. Or search out what ktmac posted above.

Nice job. I saw a technique called "pony tailing" the other day in a video that I thought looked pretty cool.I've been playing with the ladies quite a bit the past couple days. Supercropped the Obama Kush yesterday evening. Today it bounced back with great results in my opinion. It was pretty dome like so I pulled everything out and away from the middle. Bent, twisted and snapped over most every branch towards the outside. Everything was sideways And laying over when i last looked last night. Today all the internal branches and tops turned upright nicely. Should have a great even canopy when it's all said and done. I used duct tape on a few bends that didn't get worked well enough and split. Pulled up and tied some smaller branches that needed coaxing into the main canopy.
This is my first attempt at manipulating, and super cropping a plant. I was worried that I May have made a bad decision yesterday, but was pleasantly surprised today. I love it when a plan comes together
