Hey im really thinkin bout puttin bout 5 plants up in a BIG fir tree. its a perfect tree but theres not a single limp to climb on the first 25 ft. then it splits into 2 different trunks and i can literally stand in the gap...i think lol. security isnt an issue cuz i live way out so i started nailing boards on the tree to make a ladder to get up the there today but it failed miserbly resulting in me fallin and fuckin my arm up:cry::evil:. so i need some advice on how to make a better ladder. i think all i need is longer nails cuz the ones i was usin were only goin into bark. some were sturdy but i dont wanna take the chance of fallin when im way up

There are companies called "ladder companies" that make ladders you can buy in stores. I've seen them myself; they look like they'd work really well.

Owned. :mrgreen:

Anyways, go to a hardware store. If a ladder is out of the question, then just get longer nails?

Also, just asking, how are you going to secure your plants up in a tree? Rope or something?

Jerkyboys, I didn't mean to sound snotty. I'm just messin' with ya. But seriously, if you're so sure of your security that you don't mind nailing boards to the tree, how much worse can a real ladder be? You don't need to leave it against the tree fulltime; just leave it in the woods somewhere nearby. Safer than nailing boards to the tree, if you ask me.

yea, dude either use longer nails maybe in use screws and carry a portable cordless drill
or buy a ladder they even have teloscopic ones that can probably it into a car and as far as mounting them in the tree i would suggest nailing a plank between two limbs and putting the pot on the plank
but they are a lot of other issues to consider
rain, etc.
it's going to be difficult but if you're serious start a grow journal so the community can help
i'd personally be astonished and proud to see anyone pull it off

get some screw steps ,, they screw in by hand ,, my BF uses them for his deer blind & he weighs 250LBS they hold him nicely,,,,, screw them in the tree & take them out when u leave ,,, next time u come back the holes will be in teh tree already makin it even easier to rescrew in ,,, happy growing
