I drew up plans for a snap together pvc scaffold that can be assembled around the plant. Total cost for materials was around $30. I gotta build one up for my Bubble Gum. She looks like she's gonna be top heavy.
Here's my sketch.. sorry if it's hard to interpret.
I plan on using 1/2" pvc & fittings. Nothing will be glued so it can be popped on/off without disrupting the plant...

Looks like a plan. Literally! I wanted to build one of Rooster's scrog devices but it would make my plants too difficult to carry.
I already had almost everything in the bed of my work truck. LoL
I think I may use schedule 20 pipe though (irrigation pvc) it should be much lighter and much cheaper too. Schedule 40 pvc is nearly unbreakable but I think it's just over-the-top for this application. Better believe I'm snagging a few fittings from the truck though! LoL
I'll whip something up tomorrow and snap pics along the way. If the Bubble Gum keeps stretching, I may need longer legs. LoL

That’s a bad ass idea Preston
Every "big box" hardware store should have all the fittings right on the shelf. Pretty cheap stuff, but will last forever. I hope to build a few over the next few months with the goal of being able to scrog, or set up individual racks where needed. Like a weed growers lego set
I had 3/4" PVC sitting around when I made my dark box to flip the AK. Unfortunately Home Depot didn't carry the 3-way corners for 3/4" so I had to make my own from 1/2" ones. They turned into home made compression fittings (with the help of the blue-glue.
The corner fittings dont have any real application in residential plumbing so they aren't as common in 1/2". Same with the "cross T" fittings. I think irrigation guys use more 3/4" and 1". We gotta stay small inside walls....
Makes sense. Still I managed to make it work, until the plant outgrew the damn thing!
I just put a set of 40-15.50-24 on my gmc they was 700$ apiece. GMC 3500

Free all 4 of them.
That's as good as it gets there. Some tough ass work though if you're the one slinging them heavy bastards.
I used to manage the tire shop in a Sam's Club store when I was in college. That was a few long years of busted knuckles and a sore back. LoL
But had forearms like Popeye!
And now you're growing spinach!
Nice tires Ice! So much traction you can climb sheer walls
