Growing All Gas OG and Bruce Banner in 5 gallon buckets. I already have tomato cages over both which they are simply outgrowing. Was wondering what to use for extra support for them, or what some of you guys think.

I’ve never grown outdoors, but I’ve used bamboo steaks for other plants outdoors. Could look into using them.

I haven’t needed to use supports yet outside, but stakes are pretty useful. Maybe even use some netting.

Great looking plants bro. For extra support you mean when there's buds weighing down the branches? Bc they seem like they're supporting themselves great right now. If that's what you mean and it was me and I was planning how to support the branches when the buds are pulling them down I'd prob end up driving some rebar into the ground around the plant then tie strings going from one bar to the other, like a circle surrounding the plant and if the branches start to fall down they'll hit those strings. You'd want your plant closer to the ground though, unless you had some long ass rebar. Honestly though man I'm not sure you'll need any extra support. The only time I ever grew outdoors it was a healthy, vigorous plant that really needed no help. Yours look very healthy. I'd very carefully remove the tomato cages and let them go. If at any point you need to support any branch just drive something into the ground close to the plant and use it as an anchor point. I hope I wasn't way off on what you were asking. I was pretty stoned when I first started writing this.
Yes that is exactly what i meant, just looking like theres gonna be heavy buds.
Thank You, yeah i planned on removing the bottom crates this weekend.

I am a big fan of bamboo and that wire with rubber coating. you can take bamboo and use the tomato cage to tie a horizontal <<triangle in your case>> frame then use vertical bamboo “off” that to form a larger diameter cage. Looks like they may stretch more then get the bud weight so good you are thinking ahead!

Since you are growing Christmas Trees, it appears from the picture, my first thought was a bamboo pole right up along side the main. That’s what I would do just from the picture. Reading every one else here that seems to be right.

We have been talking about plastic and fabric. Do you have any thoughts like pros and cons? It was about outside in the sun. Yours look happy .
