Storm coming, Need to protect ma plants

[veggiegardener]

Without pix it's tough to make specific suggestions.

They're in pots. Can you move them?

I'd bunch them up and place heavy objects on the upwind side to break up the air flow.

Supporting them might lead to more breakage than doing nothing.

Cannabis is tough.

If there's rain, shake them out once the storm passes, and then put supports to hold any broken branches back in place. If the bark/skin is intact, they'll heal quickly.

Best of luck!

dude its like a fuckin mini hurricane right now, the wind is like 35mph. but i just improved it check it out....its not moving and inch

In different years I've had up to 70 mph winds and had little damage.

Depending on wind direction, I'd put the plant(s) next to the fence, on the down wind side.

Good luck!

Lmao that thing looks pretty secure at least yours is in your backyard mine is like a 10 min drive plus a 2-3 mile hike in the woods. I haven't got any rain yet and its dead calm the sky is getting a bit darker now though. Are you by the miami area?

And veggiegarden how big were your plants when that wind came along? And for pics you can just look at the last page of my grow journal. They are basically close all together and surrounded by a circle of bushes,trees I was thinking tat might help them but I dunno. At least there getting plenty of oxygen!

Well I kinda want your weather over here. Lately for the past 2 weeks we have gotten zero rain. It gets super hot to. So everyday for 2 weeks I have to go to my spot and take a 3-4 mile hike in the woods just to water them. ITS A PAIN. But they are flowering and I dont care they are super healthy so whatever Im doing now Ill keep doing.

Why not just let them lay on there side thru the storm then when the storm winds die down stand them up
