I think they’ll be ok, they had thrown a few pistils but I don’t see them now. But I was already worried about height and now I especially am.

    I hear ya there, though I’ve seen my fair share of “too big” that snapped their trunks. A +16ft Strawberry Cough, for one. Incredible colas and Bs as big as your hand. Granted, that was outdoor, back when it was lucrative to travel for the season, but still. Watch your girls, and be sure to keep them prioritized. If you’ve got a friend with a printer, ask them to knock out some clips. 🤘🏽

      I actually have a fuck load of clips but I’m nervous that, because the plants are so… robust? That I won’t be able to bend some of the older branches.

        Start out gently and arc ~5% or so (rather than the >15 <90 for young stems), or just Velcro tie them off to distant points on the greenhouse walls. You’re right, though: gotta be nice and tender to the thicc stalks

          Awesome sounds like I’ve got a roadmap at least, I figured I was stuck! Thank you for your advice

              Dude I heard that these plants can yield upward of two pounds each! That’s so much weed lmfao I won’t be able to smoke it all 😂 I’m so excited

                For real, though! 🤣 And, don’t forget that the sugar leaves & trim are perfect for RSO, etc., too! Every year, I grow the max allowed legally in my location, and I literally give away whole branches when friends visit for boardgames, bbq, or just to borrow something. I’m still working my way through the cured batch from 3 years ago… 🤪

                What a time to be alive! 🤌🏽🔥🥳
