Neèd help supporting my trained plants.

[Truereligions]

hi all I'm having some issues supporting my trained plants, some details . This is my first grow where I'm training the plants. I'm testing 2 techniques a regular Scrog with a net then I have some lst'd plants without the net. My question is how can I support the last plants without a net? They're getting really bushy and I'm worried the girls will start snapping themselves as it has happened to one of my plants.

So how can I combat this? Any insight would be great thanks all!

Bamboo stakes are cheap and hold up well.

Would have to see pics really. Lots of options though, stakes are usual. Could tie from the cieling. I've wrapped string around them to hold them in a circle then did couple more circles of string layers. if that makes sense lol when i had that problem none snapped even when laying sideways on one another so the stems are pretty strong if you can at least keep the outter stems held in a circle. I had 30g colas too

Hmm, i'd say one of those huge nets that you usually see commercial growers using. Other than that idk, i only do small scale grows.

Awesome setup btw!

I use tomato cages, pretty cheap and you can still move the plants around if needed, of course I run quite a few less than you lol

So do you think nets would be the best option?

here are some pictures of my scrog i think i messed up because they are looking a little wild

Thanks for the advice! i was thinking about using chicken cages but it seem likes a lot of hassle for the larger scale ops! i might give it a try on my next run under 1 light or so!

I use bamboo stakes and soft ties so I can move plants and customize as needed.

I'm just worried because I might have to stick more then 4 sticks in the pols would it affect the roots?

I have probably stuck 8 in a 3 gallon pot and gotten 6 ounces. I'm sure it breaks roots but I have never noticed a problem result.

That might be why some use tomato cages.

I use the 3 stake ones with 18" rings, you can put the stakes in the edges of the pot and put the rings on separate if you need to, that's why I used them, had to put them on later, but they supported pretty well till the end bottom pic of the stakes.
then the tops of plant for size they held pretty well for what I needed, love your setup man!

Im gonna try this on one of my plants that are leaning sideways hopefully she comes back. Is that the ''mainlining'' technique? wjhat was your yield? looks awesome

It's a bit of a mainline, yield was of course "personal use limit" but she did well pictures are top colas, middle buds, and lower plant that was fresh frozen for bubble hash, I didn't weigh as I live in a prohibition statebut you can make a reasonable guess I'm sure, 5 gallon pot

Thanks man, It's a Plemon fem from Breeders Boutique, it's got some Larry og giving it's flavors (very lemon) but the colors come from the male smelly cherry, mine has a weird lemon funk taste, I've heard it described as mint, licorice, and lamp oil, but I lean towards minty myself

thanks man means a lot!

dude buy 1000 feet of para cord and a staple gun and go to town...or yoyos like I did...not all your colas need support mostly the outside ones will...12 yoyos were 20$...run a para cord line down each aisle and hook up some yoyos...I like them a lot more them a scrog net cause you still have access to the plants..I know my grow is nothing compared but I'm sure you'll be happy with em.
