I had some Dracarys plants in my 2x4 cabinet get absolutely out of control. Giant fan leaves, crazy foliage, and bud sites everywhere basically woven together. It took me 3 times, probably an hour each time, to trim them back to an acceptable level. I think they are okay now, they are in week 6 of flower. But the first 5, it's like we were having a boxing match :lol: I'd cut about 25% of the leaves off each plant, and she'd grow back even more.
I went to the hardware store and grabbed a few tall tomato cages. My plants are in sips on wheels, so I rolled them out. Took a soft rope, and wrapped it around the hole plant, about 3/4 of the way up. Cinched the rope tight enough to get them smaller than the bottom of the tomatoes cage, then I gently worked the plant through the cage. Took the rope off, and started attaching stems. I took another piece of rope, and tied it across the top of the cage, for attachment points for hanging colas in the middle. After I got everything spread out and attached, I looked from the side all the way around, and cleared enough leaves for proper airflow. They seem happy. I also have a lot of air movement in that cabinet.

Its a nightmare isn't it. I usually rotate them everytim i feed but they are getting so tangled with eachother im worried i might start ripping buds off.

I only have the 2 in a 1.2 m x 0.85m homemade room i struggle to get to the bottom of the back plant to feed. Its been an experience to say the least and hopefully i will learn from this one. Ive managed to apply a bit of support tonthe front one the back didnt look so bad so ive left it alone for now. I only have 2 weeks left so fingers crossed i have no problems.

I have a small room heater in there which ive turned off now because i think it may have caused a few burns/dried areas.
