3 of my ladies are about 8-9 feet tall. one is already 6 weeks into flower, i got lucky and it started flowering in mid julyjust wondering if there are any methods to supporting the top bud. only thing i could think of was tying off to 2 stakes on each side. i thought maybe there was some updated methods. any help is appreciated.P1010009.jpgP1010010.jpgP1010013.jpgP1010014.jpgP1010015.jpgP1010022.jpgP1010023.jpgP1010025.jpgP1010026.jpg

She's just a bagseed but she's awesome. Perfect Christmas tree shape and filling in very nicely with buds. She is the only one I did not LST (for comparison yield) because she had such a nice shape and was so robust. I've taken a clone of her and hopefully I can keep it in good shape to put outside next Spring.

Holy sheep shit shes going to be a biggin!

Going to need a cherry picker just to tie her off! lol.

I'm sure you can find long lengths of bamboo or tie a few together and use them to stake her up.

If your wind is constant, and doesn't change directions, you could build a windbreak on the one side, just to deflect it a bit, and at the same time build your own trellis to tie it off to.
16' two by fours, sunk 3 or 4 feet deep, with a piece over the top.
Make a couple of these and box it in so you have something solid across the top to tie up to.
