We don't get rainstorms out here.......we get DUST storms lol.......I tied my bitches up the other day when I peaked out there and saw them flapping in the wind lol. I just went down to Home Depot and got those green stretch ties. I also got some bamboo stakes from walmart.......old broom/mop handles work better imo lol. very sturdy

the damd news didnt says anything about this, they just said "flood warnings". I suppose flood warnings means "bad weather" and next time ill just be safe then sorry.

Got some really good news, I didn't give up on the plants, i staked them caged them, and taped the split stalks together with electrical tape, zip ties, did the same with the snapped branches...and I'm back in action baby. That hurricane basically just super cropped my main stalks in like 3 different locations and every branch on my plant. Take lemons and make lemonade! Its raining today and i forgot to take pictures of the splits and knuckles formed and what not but here is just some quick updates of where im at. The plants are flowering now too, 2nd week. I'm a happy camper.

Moved plants under forest canopy, i know this is the worst thing I could do in the midst of flowering, but I had no other option the choppers are flying really close by.
they get partial sunlight now,guessing I'm gonna get 5 0z off each plant airy buds. i need to do some staking the branches are really sagging, you can see one is like the leaning tower of Pisa from a recent hurricane.
