My outdoor ILGM AK47 photo grow just started to flower 3 days agoš. This is my first photoperiod plant and curious about staking with bamboo sticks. I am thinking of ordering 6 ft bamboo sticks, as plant I just shy of 6 ft in 5 gallon fabric pot. There are many branches so I am curious on thoughts on how to stake? I think I am over thinking but donāt want to stress plants with bud weight or break branches due to night winds. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!!!

Can cage that big girl since outside. Might be better than stakes with wind and weather. Not an outdoor cannabis grower but i grow veggies outside in a very wind prone area. The outdoor folk will chime in with proper info.

I appreciate the feedback and will explore cafe as option. Right now I have house on market so I am moving her around when doing open house lol

Caging is the way to go, something I had to do a month of two ago when the plants got hammered by a 2" an hour downpour. Standard tomato cages work - with difficulty. Itās a two-person job to slide 'em over the top without breaking something. But there are cages than snap togetherā¦

I would like to cage but I have to move her on regular basisā¦once a week to get out of sight of landscapers and 1-2 times a week for open house and private showings. So cage I think will be difficult cause I will have to break her out several times per week
Yours is in a grow-bag, right? Not a lot to grab ontoā¦ But WRT moving heavy pots about, I use a cheap furniture dolly with a rope on one side. I moved a plant that weighs more than me a couple of days ago.
Lol, niceš. This plant is light in 5 gallon fabric. Weighs no more than 25 lbs with perlite and happy frog. I do have dolly but have not felt need to use at all.
