No flat sides but laying them down is a thought. We have not had any storms that would knock them over yet.

Got rain going on here today and hopefully it will stop this afternoon. I would love to get a good look at my plants I have to harvest more tomatoes for making sauce. I also hope my tomatoes do not split due to the rain. Split tomatoes are ok if you use them right away so that is the plant for now. 
Same here today. I made sauce the other day. It was fun and tasty! Thanks for the tips! Kind of time consuming. Maybe again next season.

My wife is in the kitchen now making pizza and it smells great. As for my plants it has not stopped raining all day now. The minute it stops I have to go out and shake them plants. Stone I bet the sauce was great.

Hoping the PM on Banana Jealousy does not come back with all this rain. I will keep my eyes on it and use Sheds spray with oil if needed but I think she will be fine once the sun comes out tomorrow. I need to feed my plants today I should have feed them yesterday, but it was raining too much. I think it will be ok to feed today as long as it does not rain much today.

Could you use a leaf blower on them ? Kinda like a big hair dryer. do you have any wind this morning ? it's dead calm here and really heavy air when I was outside I could taste the fumes from the trucks an bus's
Girls look amazing Keith. Excellent work.
Just curious did you figure out a way to support them?
They are too big now to balance in those tall pots.
When they drain them they are susceptible to wind blowing them over.
A couple of those tall garden steaks behind them in the pic would work.
Put in 3 steaks in a triangle and wire the girls in the center.
Your going to need support for the big buds aswell.
Tok Tok, time is running out buddy.
Don’t let a storm ruin things.
It’s happened to me and I was devastated.
Great job so far
Stay safe

I have heard of people using a small leaf blower for blowing the water off their plants but I do not have a blower so I just give the plants a little shake and this helps remove the water from the plants. The air is heavy here too the humidity is the problem, but it will go away in time.

Thanks Bill I appreciate your advice and the fact that you have been here before. I do have some bamboo stakes so I will need to figure out a way to support them. Next year I will have to use some wider pots because the pots I am using now are a little narrow 15-gallon pots. I did have wider pots last year and wish I had wider ones this year. I did go down from 20-gallon pots to 15 gallons. My hope was to have smaller plants, and it worked out as my plants are smaller. Thank you Bill I appreciate all your knowledge and your willingness to share it. You are a great help to a lot of members here at 420 magazines. Your plants look great as usual.Girls look amazing Keith. Excellent work.

I really like Bill's idea about the garden stakes 
it could get bad out your way this afternoon and that's a quick solution

Sorry missed the in-between message. I was thinking you could bang a couple of garden stakes into the ground around the pots to keep the plants from blowing over

I just feed my plants, and the bud sight flowers are looking really good. The pistils are filling in I think I have to order some more MaxiBloom before I run to low and get caught with my pants down needing more. I am happy with the progress of my flowers I just need to be more patient. Patience is a problem I have because I have no patience. It looks to be clearing up still overcast with no sun but no rain either and I am liking that. Nice little breeze is drying the plants out nicely. Today is a good day for a haircut and beard trim as soon as my barber can fit me in. Hopefully he can fit me in today or sometime this week. Hope you all are having a great day.
