Twine has so many wonderful uses...from drying to plant repair.

Using jute twine to prevent storm damage is a good idea. The premise is to loop underneath budding branches, then tie on an upward angle to the main stem. Yours are so exposed though, I would first use a center stake.

What is a center stake gonna do when there fully caged and they still do this when you have 60-80 MPH winds i dont think anything is gonna help beside a greenhouse!

I got some gnarly broken branches, you wouldn't believe the gsc I literally have every branch tied up n there just hangin on by a thread but u know what, there growin n producin, I feel your pain on the wind I live somewhere where one day it could all calm out next hour 10mph+ winds I didn't prepare as much as I should what I did is just put some stakes in the ground n started roping putting the fallen branches to lean on the rope if it died well so be, at first I would tie it back up, but that's the worst thing u can do especially when that wind is still strong...they just straight broke off, or died, but when I left them and just put some t-post in and roped around giving support and just leaned it on there, they survived.....sorry for the losses I feel your pain I should take pictures of some fucked ones to make ya feel better

I hate to say it, but now is the time to learn. Since the carport is working so well keeping the moths out, I have ceased spraying......anything..... My carport plants have never seen a drop of rain, dew, wind or bugs......and they live outdoors.........Carports work........sorry guy's it's "tough love" time......

 

[TokaLot]

In this Pic behind all the plants you can see my Greenhouse im starting my spring grow will have to be twice as big now.

That sucks bro. Stay positive and keep pushing ahead. Sometimes learn and adapt is all we can do.

 

[doublejj]

Bro, I can put a carport up in 10 min.......

 

[TokaLot]

I will agree with you there i can also put a carport up in 10mins lol.
The only thing i can say about that is you just gave me that idea not long ago, and like i said i didnt know the weather was so severe here everyone that i know that lives here says it good thats why i said i shouldnt have listen to ppl lol.

All i can do is take this as EXP and learn from it from now on its gonna be greenhouse you can believe that.

 

[biscuitkid]

this is for you tokalot n all the homies out there that lost branches the ugly the plague of the broken branches....fuck you wind!

I use the exact same dosage and a couple drops of dish soap. So far I'm worm free. Not sure if its luck or the spray. Time will tell I guess.

 

[TWS]

Or better yet, just get some pet rattlesnakes. Good luck proving you used rattlers as a boobytrap.

I have a friend who has 19 of them in a snake proof outdoor pit. Cut their rattles off and leash them to your plants. lol

My phone gives me happy endings....

TMI !

I was leaving that one alone.........lol

damn guys sorry to see that nasty wind damage. I used to tie the fuck out of everything with green tie, which gets to be tedious. I still use it sparingly, but started using trellis netting instead. it works awesome for wind - I haven't had any broken branches (from wind anyway) yet and this is the time that threat becomes quite real, especially during a windy rainstorm. the netting is super fast and easy to apply and doesn't cost much - it's become a permanent addition to my arsenal. @Tokalot - I think your plants outgrew their cages - it's not uncommon for folks to end up having 2 or 3 cages by the end of it. but I hear ya - greenhouses solve that problem!

Didn't know winds were that high, the cage could be part of the problem. We used to wrap them up like a Christmas tree in Florida before hurricanes with twine/stakes.
