I didn't think this through ...

I may have underestimated this grow. It's an 18 gallon pot. I think it's going through stretch, went on vacation 4 days and came back to this. NEVER anticipated it getting this big and now it's about to be over the 6' fence. I didn't use any trellis netting ( never expected this size) so now I'm worried about weight on the branches. I'll take any suggestions or advice. How can I add netting now?

Bamboo stakes and plant ties.

Bamboo stakes and plant ties.

So like one stake for each branch? Then tie up each branch?

 

[DarkWeb]

Whatever it needs.

Start in the middle and work your way out. Don't poke yourself in the eye.

Spread her out and tie them branches down. It’ll increase yield in lower buds as well

This is your best option

Yeah, it looks like it's got some more stretch to go yet.

Do it slowly in stages tho..if you try to bend those branches to fast or agressivley they will snap.

You can even tie bamboo to bamboo and build yourself a little burning man.

I started this with LST but like I said never thought it would get so big. So I need to spread out ( tie down ) all the branches ? For the ones in the middle do I bend those over or tie them long way horizontal? Would it be best to try to get them all horizontal? This picture is from 7/25 but gives an idea of what I was doing.

dig a hole and Turn that pot on it's side at 45degree angle .....

I use extra large tomato cages

Great idea!

I think I'll do this. Then I can put stakes directly into the ground for branch support

That's a great idea, and less risky than supercropping. I've snapped over lots of branches on outdoor plants in the past. Sometimes a branch or two, doesn't like it,
