If you do get the trellis up early enough and the plants are quickly growing through it, do not worry. There are several options — one being you can spread out and wind the leaves into the trellis horizontally as they grow. As each new node spreads out into the trellis, the previous nodes each become a new cola. This can really maximize the footprint of a single plant. If the trellis is up early enough and you have plenty of plants filling up the canopy, you won’t need to spread out each plant. Sometimes the canopy is full and quickly outgrows the trellis. This is a good thing and you can easily install a second trellis to support large buds and colas that might later fall over as they pack on weight. Use this time to defoliate the canopy and allow light penetration to the lower buds. Pat yourself on the back, as you’ve been proactive instead of reactive and your crop will thank you. Remember, you don’t want to have to react to all of your plants falling over like dominoes when only one or two plants needed support. Consider trellising or other methods described below to avoid this easily preventable tragedy. Trellis early, and if necessary, trellis often. “ Spread plants out into the canopy as best you can by means of stakes, trellising, yo-yos, or otherwise.” Servicing the Great Lakes states.
