Plants getting too big

[goodpawn]

Hey all happy Australia day.

Got me a little problem that I could use some guidance if possible. Got a few plants that I planted way to early. I have just moved to the area after living in Cairns for past 30 odd years. I planted around mid september, I am assuming ( going on looks) that I have predominately indicas although all seed is from cairns area so not %100 sure.

How much more growth can I expect before flowering (broad question I know)

I have put some pics up of plants

 

as of today

As you can see the plants are nearly at fence height (5 feet). I have done 2 major cutbacks on them in the past 2 weeks but they are growing like crazy. I have also tried bending training the branches but only seem to break them and not get a safe bend in them. Any other suggestions as to what to do?

Cheers in advance and will hopefully keep pictures coming until ready to pick.

There is a type of shade cloth (colour brown) that lets a lot of light in, you could build a frame and make it a canopy.

Visit a nursery and ask about it, gotta be a good nursery though.

Fucking nice grow!

 

I would be worried about the smell being so close to neighbours.

 

The shade cloth idea was told to me by a lady at Bunnings. They don't sell it!

 

Forgot to answer the growth question.

 

Theoretically it could/would/should double or triple in size. Height wise.

Cheers for the suggestions. I will look at getting shade cloth. Will have to do some serious designing/building to make it look natural looking(sorta/kinda). This should help to promote flowering as well. I cant make it to suss. Neighbour out the back(80+ year old lady) has just sold their house so only need to worry about new owners.

I will be keeping the chook shit up to the rest of the garden and this should mask some of the flowering smell I hope.

You got some balls man! Nice little crop. I can't really add too much to what other people have said but chook shit sounds like a good way to mask the smell. I hope there's not chance of some kids losing a ball over the fence and going in there or whatever, best of luck!

Risky grow! All them close neighbours?

 

 

Theres a thread on here somewhere about things you can plant to mask the smell of your outdoor grow.

Hi GP,

Wish i had your problem

Welcome to OS

[smashed1]

hi goodpawn there going to be huge an stink all your neighbours out ,

 

had a mate did something like that he got some tin fence panels we cut them in half i held em up against the fence so they stuck up 2 foot he drilled em in it looks abit suss but there going to see (an smell ) them in a few weeks anyway so they might as well see a higher fence an see nothing than see a hundred colas sticking up everywere , an we tipt it all over the top just before the white hairs started showing

still got shitload of buds an prob keept it a lil smaller

 

just put a few up in the corner or you could try bending them an sortof snap them along the tops but a lot of fuking work

 

good luck with that monster you got there, next year tie them down from day

 

just tell the oldys in that house your geting a new dog an it wil jump the corner so you have to build it up a bit couse its to low, then they will know why its there, thats what id be doing

an id be quick bro if the cops do a door knock an there on that front door it looks like theyd be able to see the tops of them plants anyway ??

I have no good advise for you right now. But... after this harvest i would put up lattice and get a fast growing vine with a strong aroma. Grow it all above that fence line. Should stop nosy neighbors, kids jumping over and help hide the smell.

 

If that was my yard, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night aye.

 

Good luck man and be safe.

If you dont want them getting huge, keep training them (slowly, few inches per few days), or you could cut them down about 50cm and hope it takes them a while to grow back
