It’s a local municipality, they’re pretty good but these days they’re extra cautious with the safety procedures. Things take a little bit longer for electrical service to be repaired than it used to. The cowboy lineman are a thing of the past. Too many of them are dead.

It’s as easy as that, as the plant grows just tie the top back to the stake. The plant will do everything else for you. North of the equator can you point your steak to the north I have also planted towards the east and had success. Sometimes north just doesn’t work for where you’re planting.
These pictures were taken on 4/16.

For f#$&k sakes, just reminded me my bare root strawberry plants need to get in the ground soon!
I’ll have a few staked like that again this season. Better idea of what im doing now should produce better results.

don’t think there’s a better way to make a plant grow into a bush instead of a tree. Almost 0 stress. I think it is a awesome way to grow auto flowers. Photo plants I like to top. Over and over etc. You got a lot of land in a lot of privacy, if you were to use this style on a photo plant with a 8 foot stake. Or If you have something going, start a big clone of it, or plan to seed and get it out as early as you can. You will have a absolute giant.

Very nice. Ive seen similar in a tent but they used a chicken wire to anchor to the wall. But your is nice. And a great idea. I wash i could grow outside. Rules here outdoor only and 300’ from ant dwelling. That there gets me. My yard is 100’ neighbors within 30’ damn.
I don’t understand why people want to grow trees that are 14 foot tall. They are so hard to work on. Why not grow a Bush that is 10 foot long and 10 foot high. 4 foot on a ladder is a bunch.

Yeah I was looking at the package yesterday and you get 11 3 foot fiberglass rods. They are very flexible so the plant moves easy with the breeze yet they do a fairly good job of keeping it at a 45. I usually go a couple of degrees more because as The plant gets further out it does Bow the rod a little bit.

I snagged these pictures from a thread over on ILGM that I was following last summer.
Dude lives in Nepal and these are some land race strain that he grew after throwing the seeds in his back yard. It just grows wild there. I don’t think he even have a name for it (just weed).
I think I’d like to do that once. Just to do it. But that’s just too unmanageable. lol!
