Growing a Gorilla Bomb clone in a bag outdoors. Soil is a mix of ProMixHP, worm castings, and sea compost. Supplemental feeding with Advanced Nutrients Grow/Bloom/Micro in the water. This was my plant on June 11, height was 38.5"

Looks great, maybe the leaves are just like that because it's a pheno.
Id tie the entire thing down even more. Look up auxins and how they favour the top most branches. There might be benefits making every branch a top!

Was this started indoors? The reason I ask is it almost looks like it has revegged. Or something is causing her stress, can tell by all the funky single blade leaf stuff going on.

It was indoors in a sunroom, which seemed to lose light a little too early in the day through the first 3 weeks of May...so yes, likely re-vegged.

That's my plan this afternoon: clean up the undergrowth. I figure I better get it done, because a switch to flower phase is probably coming soon. Thanks for responding. It has filled out even more since last post:

This first experience has me hooked; even without getting anywhere near the finish line, the process has been more enjoyable than I ever imagined; the learning, watching it grow, watching it respond to the time I topped it and LST ect. I completely understand why people enjoy growing their own now, far beyond the economic considerations. It has also made me excited to try my hand at growing some vegetables next season too...so glad I discovered this new hobby.
 
She's so healthy I was leaning towards metal fence t posts but bamboo is always good. I like t posts because I can hang damn near anything off of them and no breakage. Bug nets, shade cloth, tarp for winter protection...etc

I considered T posts and some trellis netting wrapped around the outside and over the top to tie branches to, but thought that would be overkill. I have no idea what's coming through stretch and flower as I've never done this before though, so there's a good chance I am underestimating. I can get these at Home Depot in my town:


If you think I'm going to need that kind of support, it's worth spending 30ish bucks to grab 4 of them and rig something sturdier up.
