The Circular Trellis takes the weight off heavy branches as your garden develops into its later stages, keeping plants standing upright. It also provides the perfect framework to train new growth to make the best use of your grow space.
How the Circular Trellis Works
One of the pitfalls of being a skilled grower is that a well attended to garden will often produce so much bountiful fruit that branches struggle to support their own weight. Luckily, the Circular Trellis addresses this issue! By digging the Trellis into the substrate when plants are potted up into their final containers, its framework can then be used to help support and train branches, ensuring that plants make the most efficient use of your grow area. Training branches to fill out your grow area will help to ensure that any light from your lamp and reflector always hits an even canopy of plant material (instead of the hitting the floor!). Doing so can have quite a dramatic effect on yields.
It's a good idea to rotate each plant by around 45 degrees daily to ensure that all areas of the plant receive some direct light. For this reason, the Circular Trellis has a distinct advantage over Support Nets that make it difficult to move plants around once in place.
The circular trellis is great for indoor set-ups, but will also deliver the goods in an outdoor space.
Re-pot at least a week before they enter the flowering cycle (to allow plants to recover from the stress) and dig the trellis into the substrate so that the stem sits in the centre. The framework of the circular trellis can then be used to support and train heavy branches as required for the particular situation, keeping plants standing upright.
The trellis can be used with both square pots and round pots - just make sure that your pots are large enough to accommodate it. Note that the circular trellis has a diameter of 25.5cm at the lower end, and gets wider from that point on. Some customers adapt hydroponic systems, like DWC bubblers, to fit trellises; this is something that can damage your system and should be done at your own risk.
