Staking

[Amateur Grower]

I'm worried about killing roots-how do you stake bud-laden branches late in flower?

insert the stakes on the very edge of the growing container is the best way have found and you wont do much if any root damage

I have never had any kind of root issues, regardless of how I inserted stakes. Sometimes with my hydro, I would purposely stick the stake through the roots for more stability.

I always stick my stakes right through the roots....never have a problem.

wittle the tip sharp like pencil then the tip will glide through root better by deflecting rather then pushing and tearing through. Its much safer cause I have done damage to the main tap root in past by pushing stick through it now I sharpin for nice easy glide through livin roots. Good luck pilgrem.

I used the stem of a bamboo tiki to stake my big girl up and saw no negative issues. Stuck her right in near the stem, too.

when plants get rootbound I've found aeration helps the plant anyway. I've gone Norman Bates on ALL my plants' rootballs and they seem to love it. LIke what others said don't worry...be happy and just stake'm down.

You guys probably know by now that I grow 4 or 5 plants a couple of times per year so I really count on a good harvest each time. THG, thanks for putting things in perspective for me-yes, life is good when my biggest growing problem is staking branches!!!
