what things did you learn this year, and going to tweak next year? I know for me, next year no more cheap trellis netting. Going cages. and no more cheap greenhouse.

Yeah cages are definitely better but more exspensive. Trellis netting works but cages are way less work. Next year I'll be careful about buying dirt too late in the season. Some of my dirt had half my girls stunted for awhile. Definitely helps letting it cook. Other than that I learned last year to preventative spray and all is well

yea, im thinking tomato cages as clones, then a ring of 8 foot welded wire.

And yea, Im planning on in ground next year, gonna till in all my current soil (10 yards or so) into the native ground, then cover crops, and saving all my rabbits poo, and geese manure, and going to till that in as well. thinking 8 plants again, but starting waaaaaaay sooner.

Yeah one cage early and a big one later on would be nice. Your gonna have some monsters in ground with all that poo! Might even need to toss some netting over the cage when they explode

I start with big tomato cages then I put in 4 poles that are about 7 feet tall after I put them in the ground, I tie them in with 4 more poles that I connect with heavy zip ties. I then tie in a cotton trellis to the inside witch I use to separate the branches LST and later I wrap them with the cotton trellis material. And if I have two I do it twice if they keep out growing it. It's very windy were I'm at. Lol I should add I love what your doing. Bang up job keep up the good work.20150816_193100.jpg

Nice plants. All from seed?
No not all, the grails are from seed, and so is Dr Crippling. The Crippling is by far my biggest most aggressive plants the best part is I ended up with 2 phenos one of them is a short very wide one that I'm in the process of capturing.
