greetings from northern california, I'm a very low-tech home grower enthusiast, just 2 ladies on my deck which is what I've done most years. This year, I have a lady who is by-far the tallest I have ever had the pleasure to grow. Must be 6 1/2 ft so far and the flowers are just beginning to show so I'm getting extremely excited yet ehrm.. nervous about just how tall she could get. I've put portable bamboo screens around my deck this year, and brought some greenery that is bushy etc.. The deck also has an advantage of being very high compared to my neighbors etc.
However due to the height of m'lady, unavoidably the top of the plant is poking out over the bamboo screen. While anyone on my property would be trespassing, still to be respectful of my neighbors I've always valued discretion in my horticultural pursuits and passions. I have an oddball of a neighbor who if standing in one particular part of his driveway could see the plant top.
Could the plant take being (gently) staked down from the top. I have an idea I can just have a pot filled with soil with the stake and bend the top (and tie it down) to this stake to not have the top so.. visible. Anyone have experience with doing something like this? I am also open to being told I'm being ridiculous . But as I said, I've never had one in my 10 years of living here that has shot up so very very tall.. By comparison it's mate is a delicate geisha of an indica (with much fuller flowers interestingly)
and peace
