I live in Florida my plants are 6 weeks into flowering should I pull them or risk losing them from Hurricane? I live on West side of Florida at the coast.
Have any plywood and nails Build a secure structure with roof around them that can withstand driving winds and rain
Thats tough....go get some netting, any size. Drape the plant with it. Tie it to the ground with good sticks. Tie the netting it off to nearby sturdy stuff. Then get tge hell out of there...it works because its not pulling on the plant Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
Are they in pots Move them inside, why not try and dig them up if not worth a shot you plan on cutting them down anyway
Or take your chances and ride the storm out Digging them up might hurt the yield by shocking them but when you replant they will come back, Better than losing them
No Can you get pond netting from homedepot do what ass monkey suggested and carefully bend them over with string and stake the tops down and cover with netting and secure the heck out of it
You might snap and break the branches I guess if you have to you can see about making hash I would try to save them, the storm may turn at last min
Central Fl born and raised here.... this ones supposed to be bad. I wouldn't worry about the plants too much at this point. Luckily mine is curing in jars for another week so I'm set on meds. If you're worried about smoking and don't have... try to cop it now before the dealers disappear. I been through a few sober hurricanes and it's torture. Be careful and stay safe.
Did you say 180mph winds?? If that's accurate then absolutely chop and chug in the freezer. Then make some live resin. Better than losing the entire plant.
i was looking at my flowering plants today and thinking i bet there is gonna be alot of outdoor growers getting kicked in the nuts in florida. What about zip tying something like a big ass fishing pole to them before you bend them down. Stake the pole in the ground maybe?? Let the pole take the stress and beating, the plant just has to hang on. I think u said west coast and as fas as i know its tracking towards the east coast. Its a gamble either way really but you might not even see 3 digit winds where your at, or you may lose a roof. will be thinkin of you and everyone down there sunday and the days to come. Best of luck. I have family in houston and i heard alot of the ambulances from all over the country are leaving there and heading to florida today. I have friends over in Deltona that are gonna ride it out.
