Appreciate it! I'll post updated pics! Already can't wait until next year to triple my space, increase air flow and Sunlight. Trees are being dropped as we speak!
I have acces to an old in ground pool cover. I'm thinking about mounting it 12' in air and ordering a roll of Greenhouse plastic to size. Then next year roll it out when cold weather rolls in and torrential rain. What you think of this idea? Crazy? Lmao

I'm doing something like this. Grid of rope over plants, using turnbuckles to tighten it, then running a piece of rounded PVC down middle. Using twine to attach to top runners full of buds and weight, to rope over head. Then when it gets cold or another big rain comes I can throw clear plastic or tarp over top. The PVC WILL bow too so water runs off. 3.5-4.5 days straight work since this happened. Some of what you see in pictures is temporary, but they're back up, and I should know but his weekend if they're going to be ok
Hey
btw
PHENOMENOL LADIES there my man. They are fortunate to have a father like you. Warms my heart to see our little area pumping out big bushy babes!

They will be fine.

I had a buddy that had a barn and horses. Beside the barn was a ditch. Over 20 years or so he would clean the stalls and eventually filled that ditch up. We would roll and throw our seeds outside. A brick seed came up. It would get a foot or two tall and the horses would trample it back down and break it to pieces. We finally realized it was there and protected it.

It was a long flowering sativa and got 15-18 foot tall. It would've taken more than 5-6 people to stretch their arms and hold hands around it.

I wanted to take a pic so bad but my buddy said no. It was his place so I agreed.

Cannabis is tough.

☺Ty! Pics don't do any justice! This picture was an hour before storm. All about 8'Hx8'W.
Used 2016 Super Soil Recipe(diluted) then fed Fox Farm Products, Guano, Mollases, and roasted with organic preventive treatments. Not using them more than once! Stuff like milk and water helps for mildew, but it also attracts bugs. I love learning and seeing what I learn each year is improving in quality and Gross. Next years goal is 2lb Per. This years crazy goal was 1.6lb Per, but expect slightly over 1lb Per.

Lmao, I measured a 17.5' Plant once, and ironically it only grossed an ounce, lol wasn't getting light and kept reaching up. Mine would require 4 People minimum to go around them before butchering them.

I like doing wood, lol I just did 7 cord. Still have piles everywhere that need stacking. When I saw my plants,(screamed and hit Shed) my Dad said, "I thought you got attacked by a Bear" they like the compost pile! I said, "if a Bear came out after I just saw that, I would've attacked it!" I was not of right mind.
