Is spreading this out like this worth it? Net

I’m sort of late in doing this net thing, 3 weeks into flower.

It looks bad and I pushed some of the tops almost sideways (bottom center). Is this worth doing at this point or what can I do to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

It will adjust and do fine. The lower bud sites will turn up towards the light. I did this with a northern lights I just harvested and it made some big fat colas. As long as it didn’t break your good.

If not comfy with net can use bamboo plant stakes instead. I started that because did not like net. Works perfect. Can spread and support.

I’m an anti-netter too. I feel like it blocks me from getting to my girls. But, with autos, I’m not having any trouble with too much vertical growth. I’m finishing my 2nd grow (12 girls) and I’ve tried all kinds of different things from heavy duty LST (with garden staples, clips, string and pipe cleaners, and defol – to almost just letting them do their thing. Learning so much. You can see my unused net just hanging there.


I like the way the plants grow when I get them spread out early in the grow.

@VirginiaGrowBoy This would be another example plant limbs spread apart an tied to bamboo sticks supports colas an better light penetration.


For a nice even canopy good luck.

Ok I like the bamboo rod idea BUT my colas are already as wide as the 3 gal pot so that won’t help much. That is, can only angle the bamboo outward so much.

I vote for bamboo.

I’m going to Lowes today to buy a couple of bamboo rods and also a small tomato cage (if one is the right lower diameter).

Will see how these work
