That means they have a lack of environmental food in the area.

The raccoons in my backyard are total beefcake chonkers but still steal the catfood, bird food, and even disrupt our hummingbird feeders. They are just greedy bastards

Bummer, I didn’t want to like that post. I use 8ft re bar and hammer 2 ft down into the ground but not through the pot or the cage, just close to the outside of the pot. That leaves me 6ft to tie all the main branches to. It ends up looking like one of those rides at the midway fair.
But for your 10 footers I don’t know, you will have get creative.

These other ones are smaller than that beast. I should do some re-bar like that. Something to think about. See how these 7-footers work inside these cages. Just need to start them later and pick lateral growers and moderate verticals for the inside pots. I knew I was in trouble the second I started growing these clones in April. Dumbass.

Some say cute, I say trouble! Mom was trying to shake down the bird feeder while the kids were waiting.

Yeah, I don’t want to work that hard. Grow them smaller its actually really easy. Start them smaller and later duh. Definitely not rocket science. I was impulsive and wanted clones early. One less mouth to feed.

Raccoons are tough guys. I watched them run a crew of stray cats off from the Wendy’s dumpster one night.

I have a couple plants that are getting taller than I like. I can’t really supercrop anymore because of flowering. I will get the re bar in when the buds take on weight or else the wind will tip them.
The defoliation I did helps make them less of a sail when it’s windy.

Yeah another reason I never should of topped so much. Just made my shoots weaker. FIM once about 6 inches below the top ring like I did last year. Started those 10 inch clones last week of May. Perfect.

Beautiful!!!

Nope, just cages and zip ties. FIM once right about the third ring up. Stay on top of training the shoots up through the higher rings on the cages.
