Storm going threw right now, put a tarp over my girl, tried to throw it as lightly as I could over her, and her tallest tops are bent over pretty bad. Fuck. Will this harm her? Should I just take the tarp off? HELP
The weight of the tarp being forced against her might damage her. Good luck, mine almost blew out of the ground a couple weeks ago. But shes ok today. Good Luck!
If any branches break, figure out a way to support them in their original positions. If the bark/skin of the branch is still somewhat intact, the break will heal very quickly.
To add, the tarp was probably a bad idea. The best thing is to place a few large heavy objects up wind. The taller, the better, but even 2/3 as tall as the plant will help. Hemp can handle a lot of abuse.
