We're getting close to the flip where I live in Eastern Canada. I've got 4 plants in homemade containers. They're 4 feet in diameter, 2 feet high and made from hardware cloth, and I wrapped burlap around them to keep the sun from heating them up too much. I've got some fence posts and 4 foot high cattle fence that I put up when they get a bit wider. This is the third year for me outside and I'm organic, mostly because it's easier than mixing nutes for them and cheaper. I've gotten hit by hurricanes both times that I was outside before so that's never a good way to finish them. I almost didn't bother this year just because I know that I'm gonna get smoked again BUT I'd feel pretty bad if by some miracle we didn't and everyone else got a good harvest in.
Bungee cords are a life saver in the wind.
