Wonder Woman that I vegged for WAAAYYYY too long:
View attachment 4800819

They're growing into the light & getting burned (the one you saw in the greenhouse earlier had to be removed to the greenhouse).

I'm now contemplating re-potting them all into 3 Gal pots & setting them all up as an outside SCROG on plastic pallets with star-pickets to support the netting.

'Just contemplating stuff....
Haha, that’s all good Rewerb, just need some strong mesh to gently lower on top of them so you can flatten the canopy and spread them out.
If your stalks are really stiff then take your time, gently squeezing the stems (similar to how you would supercropping) and bending into place. The lower you can get the canopy the better.
If you snap the odd branch while doing it, put a dollop of clonex gel on the break and gently cable tie the stems back together. Theyl mend themselves in no time. Works a treat. :cool:

All good mate. I'll work it out for myself, whether it turns out well or not. All part of the learning-curve, after all.

I managed to break a branch on one of my Wonder Woman yesterday.

I could've cracked the shits & had a hissy-fit about it, but I Just wrapped some duct tape around the break & will now wait for it to repair itself.

It's just a plant........

An old grower I know swears by it.
It’s no miracle cure but it helps I reckon.
My theory is it prevents air getting in and drying the branch out so it can heal better, and also prevents nasties getting in..

I’ve been told the hormones in the clonex can trigger or speed up the healing process...
but personally, I’m not sure about that one lol.

Haha, that would become one confused plant I reckon, who knows, it might not know what to do and just start pumping out the biggest, frostiest colas you ever seen....
Then we can change the bottle and sell it for $200 like everyone else does :wink::hump:

With these ones, they have extra length on their cover. Once the frame is up, throw the cover over and shovel a thick layer of dirt on the over hang of the cover which will weight it down.
Go around the whole outside of the green house doing this...
I’ve taken an extra precaution this time as last year I skimped a bit on the dirt and we had a storm come through and ripped the cover off.
Damaged my biggest girl.
This year I’ve placed 5 40 litre containers filled with water and shovelled dirt on the cover over hang.
She’s solid and not going anywhere!

The 6m one is what you want! You’ll need a fan of some sort at the back of the greenhouse as it will get warm back there.

I have a silent extraction fan and scrubber filter up high at the back and works a treat!

sounds like a big job jzs, but it’s really quite simple, worst part is putting in all the screws for the frame...
fuck yeah cool. cheers for that.
my mates been onto me for a few seasons that might be the go for him he has a few acres will just dump 1 of them in the middle of 1 of his paddocks.
I'll do the same phresh silent fan and an carbon filter.

how many litres are your grow bags you use.

Mrs asked me to get the seed raising mix. Pulled the fucker out of the old family car that had been stored out there since the upgrade. Thought a mouse was in it and stomped it. To my shock, this fella wasn't happy.
