A few pix...
Things are moving very quickly.

The plants in the cage are growing very rapidly, in preparation for budding. Most will be in flower in a week, or so.

Using a suspended weight as an anchor to LST large plants seemed like a natural approach, with the stiff, overhead screen.

Another angle shows how the top and side branches are growing evenly, each vying to be the meristem.

Although the cage was originally built for security, it proved to make a wonderful trellis for large plants. I encourage side branches to grow through the chain link. This adds about fifty square feet to the canopy, or maybe 3 pounds to the yield.

The Trainwrecks are filling in, quickly. I need to put a large one in the cage next year to see what its true potential is. Indoors, it is perfect for LST. I think the Afghani Kush cross in the second pic is going to look amazing at harvest. Possibly some large dense kholas.

A few more days and all the Cannabis will be in bloom.

A beautiful site for sure. Are you guys out west getting ready for your plants to flip now already? Here on the south east coast where it has been in the high 90's for weeks, my plants won't bud until early september which make for a long veg season.

I'm surprised, unless you're near the 30th parallel. My plants usually begin to flower about August 1st and mostly finish in October, plus or minus two weeks. I'm near the 38th.

Are you kidding me?! Are your plants suspending that weighted bucket?! Mine couldn't do that. The other day I was at the grow store talking to the "experts" about how some of my plants branches seem a bit to "hollow" like a straw (see pics) and they suggested silicone additive to boost cell structure. Does that sound right to you.... I think we talked breifly about hollow steams before.... its normal?!

good god man, before I die this is exactly what I want to do, love the kitty, heres a pic for you

Cute kitty!
I somehow missed this. Thanks!
It's been a long time since we've had a young kitten. About a decade. We miss them.

Hollow stems seem to be a result of rapid growth. They aren't lacking nutrients.
No, the plant isn't supporting the weight. There's another line running to the overhead wire. The water filled tub is acting as an anchor.
My first full sized, in-the-ground plant was getting too big(a very long time ago). I decided to tie a 27 pound cinder block to it to help bend her over. The next morning, that cinder block was suspended six inches off the ground. I wish I'd had a camera(long before digital cameras).

Man 27 pounds being held up by a plant thatʻs preposterous! How tall would you estimate the plant was before you lstʻd it and how much dry weight did you get off the beast? Man thatʻs like the Arnold Schwarzenegger of plants haha!

It was an extremely stout Thai Stick plant.
The seed came off a Thai Stick that came back from Vietnam in a guitar, during the fall of Saigon.
The plant was a bit over six feet tall, which was why I needed to LST her.(Six foot fences...)
That Thai Stick was in flower when I first bent her over and was very strong. I used the cinder block because a stake driven in the soft dirt wouldn't hold it.
I never weighed the yield, although I was inexperienced and probably harvested two weeks early. I'd say the total was around 3/4 pound.
That plant filled a large closet. It's the only plant I ever pulled, rather than cut up into sections small enough to handle. It was very slow to dry.
We couldn't wait to try the smoke. We quick dried a few buds. REALLY stony. I'd been cloning house plants for years, and decided to try it on budded branches that had been hanging on the plant for two days. Once cut, and placed in water, they recovered but didn't root. They'd been in that glass full of water three weeks when I asked my grandmother what I should do to get roots(didn't mention on what). She told me about Rootone. A week after applying it, and putting the cuttings in soil, I had two rooted clones. I grew them under floros that winter, and took several clones for the next years crop.
That plant was cloned a total of nineteen times, over ten years. It was eventually lost when a friend offered to care for them while we were moving into a larger home. He managed to neglect them to death in under a week. He lives a mile away.
I haven't seen him in ten years.
He'd smoked pounds of free herb in the years I'd grown that strain.
And couldn't find time to water them, stuffed in a dark corner of his overheated garage. It still raises my blood pressure....

This bucket's weight is being shared by the screen and the plant. The bucket is full of water and weighs about 15 pounds. The plant is supporting most of its weight, and threatens to lift it all as it stretches toward the light.
