Thread: green house plants

hey peeps i have a green house grow that's doing pretty good, except that im having issues with branches now not being able to support the extra weight of the leaves and soon to be bud they just droop over , cuz im thinking that there isn't any wind in there to toughen them up , right now i have to door open and some wind is getting in there but not enough for them to get the proper support potential over the next 4 months so what should i do to get then stronger, running a fan in there is not possible seeing how my electric bill is outrages right now like 300 bucks a month practically ,

Hello TreeBeard,

The ideal way would be to try and tuffen up the plants. Maybe use some silica additive.

If that's not possible, you can tie up the branches or hang a string trellis down from the top of your GH.
If that's not possible you can erect a metal trellis from the floor of the GH or use a tomato cage.

I tie the plant up with lots of sticks near harvest. I usually use the bamboo ones from Home Depot since they don't rot for several years. I also but the metal ones but they are very expensive. Get the green flexible tape to tie the limbs to the sticks. Some plants just need help.

rudy2010 and Oldmac thanks for responding , im gonna go with leaving the door open when its really windy and use some tomato cages, i have the flexy Velcro green tape, i love that stuff,
on another note my plants just started to get some white hairs and tiny calaxes so does that mean that its veg cycle is at its end or will they keep growing up , right now there at a foot and a half not the ideal hight i want, my other grows fuck theey shot like gangbuster annd they had some tiny bud hmm maybe its tthe strain , i have true pineapple express and supper silver haze true gennetics.


sidenote: would u guys be willing to look at some pics if i post them up?

wow how come certian pics wont upload thats sooo fucked

The plants look ok, not sure I can see details enough to tell but I think it is just starting to show it's sex.

How many hours of daylight are you getting ATT?

BTW, tomato cages are great for supporting plants and branches, good decision.

Not sure about the veg cycle ending. Like oldmac I wonder about the lighting hours. Also what are you trying to accomplish - light dep early crop or going to natural light or what. Pics are always nice maybe the space is just limited. Try adding new ones to another post.

Well im living in southern cali at the 32* degree mark , not totally sure of the light hours. i have more pics and have added at least 8 more plants to the house, i went the Oldmac way and used the tomato cages but they just got in my way so took them out and well the plant just started to do fine on ther OWN , sweeeet! check out some pics i have . i think one of the PE plants is going to be male because ever other plant including SSH has show the female sex, heres keeping my fingers crossed that it is a male so i can isolate his ass some where and use him to cross pollinate with PE and SSH lol .

heres more

they look nice man! pineapple express mmmmmmmm ill keep my eye on this ,and for gettn um stronger throw a fan up in there unless neibours are a risk???

yeeep true pineapple express, expressly grown by me and i got it from the the dispensary that grew it them selves , co2 boosted well that is what they said , the bud hadd a tone of seed and that is why it was so cheep i spent like 55 on a 1/4 so yeah the other is if u haven't guessed is SSH super silver haze, i heard and read that ssh isnt a outdoor type of grow good plant but i beg to differ because mine are doing just fine, OLDMAC and rudy tomarow im going to monitor the light start to end so i can give the hours for that , just picked offa bud and smoked it , definably got a head changes OMG i cant wait till harvest its gonna be epic shiitt
