Nice pics, guys. Good luck finishing these girls off. My plant is at least 6’6”. I had to top her a bunch of times, or she’d be pushing 8’. Rainy and drizzly today, weather looks unsettled into Tuesday AM. However, extended forecast calls for mostly sunny and dry after that. Last year was rough with storms and mold. Would love to be able to keep her in the dirt until at least mid October.

Lost a relatively large lower level branch after yesterday’s inch of rain. Calling for possible heavy rain and severe storms tonight. Just Tied a bunch of branches to the main trunk for support, and added a stake and tie for the plant itself. Trying to nurse her through tonight, then the extended forecast continues to look much better.

Haven’t had any rain the past few days, but did have some breezy conditions. Sprayed BT yesterday which added some weight to the branches. Checked the garden today, and a couple big branches on the middle of the plant were partially snapping off. The twine ties kept the branches from completely severing. The branches weren’t wilting, so looks like they are still viable. Replaced the twine with stronger rope, and reinforced/patched the splits with duct tape. The last month is always something..,,

Awesome. Mine was looking so sweet too. I’ve been growing since the mid 90s, and this plant was as nice as any I can recall. Down the shitter now. Good luck finishing yours up.

I’m nursing along what’s left of my plant. If I can keep her healthy and avoid any further weather damage, I should still be able to make this grow worthwhile. Sprayed with BT yesterday. Forecast is for cold rain, possibly heavy, over the weekend, and showers Monday and Tuesday…also gusty winds…thanks to the remnants of Hurricane Ian. She’s about as tied up as can be. Later this morning I’m going to give her a dousing of Dr Earth disease control fungicide as a preventative prior to the rainstorm. Things were cruising along so splendidly until a week ago….that’s outdoor growing…

Just went through the worst stretch of early October weather I can recall for this neck of the woods. 5 days of cold rain and winds. 5 inches of rain total with temps in the 40s and 50s for the duration. Radar seemed to show us in the clear yesterday afternoon, so I sprayed Dr. Earth fungicide. Of course, it immediately started raining again…. Finally this morning the sun is back, going to have to be on mold watch.
