I was trying to figure out a way to stabilize these tomato cages. I came up with a idea that failed miserably. Not all idea's are good. I blame the Ghost OgView attachment 4236967
Hey Capt, it might not solve your problem, and it looks like you've already bent the bottoms wider, so maybe you've already tried this. The legs the tomato cages like to bend in. A little trick is when placing the tomato cage in soil, bend the legs out so they enter the soil in a straight line, not towards the center at all. Seems to keep the cages pretty stable for the most part.

I did just whip this up for my new lil 2 x 4 the wire only sticks through about an inch. I'm going to use some stout electrical wire and cinch them bitches to the lid, and then cover the holes with black silicone.

Yea that's nice and sturdy. If i look at mine the wrong way they want to tip over. Those plant tags i had on there were pretty tight. I just could not push it down thru the media without them sliding up. My Monday morning quarter back is thinking i should have slipped the cage down before i back filled in around the root ball after transplanting.

I found something that works good for sealing holes like that. Duct Seal (moose poop) comes in a small brick at the hardware store. Kind of like using play dough just pinch off a piece and seal the hole. Black silicone is expensive and hard to use a caulk cartridge several times. Electrician's use it a lot for sealing holes around wires.

Thanks for the tip man, I already have a case of silicone at my shop. I'm always trying to use the materials I have available. I will keep the moose poop in mind though.

Not the best node spacing on the two I ran, but that was the only negative. It is some quality smoke and I will be growing it again with out a doubt. Really nice sweet berryish flavor, my wife has claimed it all.
Good to hear!
I'm growing 5 triple nova now.
Not the fastest in veg for sure. Mine are still in half gallon pots...
I got 2 in flower right now at week 3 definitely has that BlackBerry smell to it

I was just out in the garage looking at them and you're right, node spacing is very wide.
Got big leaves on top but lower nodes aren't doing shit.

Gonna feed em tonight so I'm soaking insect frass and fresh worm castings now.
A little chitin & chitinase should perk them up... :twisted:
