I got ignored last time I asked this. It's not a big deal, but I had the time so I thought I'd ask. Thanks.
I'm a noob and need to know if I should stake. There's three outside, one that's 45 days into flower and two that are about 10 days (from when they got put outside). And there's four indoor under a wimpy 400 watt hps about 10 days in as well. I was thinking the indoor wouldn't need it as the buds won't get that big I'm sure, but now that they're doing the early flower stretch and have gotten up to 2 and 1/2 feet, they sway more than I'd like when I move the pots.
A bigger concern for me is when and if I should cut off those lower branches on the indoor plants (Super Silver Haze). The light seems to be getting down there pretty okay and some of the bud spots look decently healthy.
How would you stake one as wide as that bigger outdoor one? Staking the main stalk wouldn't do much as there are about five main stalks that split off arond 5 inches from the soil - I trained it a lot when it was young. It sits kinda down in that big pot and one of the bigger tops has just taken to resting on the rim a little. Maybe I could attach coat-hanger hooks to clothespins, then attach the clothespins to the rim and rest the horizontal facing tops on the hooks. Good?
