Hey I have an 8 foot tall plant that at the time of planting was hidden very well in 5 foot tall grass...now the problem is all the grass is laying down and this plant is a dead give away. Any way I could tie this big girl down? she has about a month left before its done

I'd say slowly train the plant to grow sideways... tie some string/rope that wont cut the plant and stake it down sideways...

It's going to be hard to tie the plant down sideways once it's already this old. The bottom is going to be quite woody. I would supercrop it down a couple feet and then tie the supercropped portion down so it doesn't keep growing up.

if u try to pull it over it will break. if its not flowering i would try and chop some of the roots with a shovel on one side about a foot deep slide the shovel under itand push it over. its going to have to have time to recover the deeper you can go to push it over the better. and i would give it some super thrive a day or tow before you do it. also make sure the ground is really wet for a day or so so it helps the roots from breaking. but i wouldnt of planted it there. did it show sex yet?

Tie it down with twine and a big rock. Hopefully no one steals it. If it is to obvious you may want to chop it early or risk it being pirated. arrrgh?

Worst Idea ever, that will just ruin it. Damage the root system and half the plant will die. You can tie it down if you treat her like the woman she is.

I had this problem to what i did is walked into the bush found a 6' tall pine tree cut the bottom into a wedge and put it between where the most people activity and and plant was that way even upon a stopping glance it doesn't look different. Now if it's a bush this in't going to work to well but you could try it.
