Howdy......I see Pisces suggested a trellis, but how far away are your lights (hps, cfl's and or leds)? Also a fan circulating lightly would possibly help strengthen your trunks in preparation for your flowers. Pics say a lot.:)

^^^ i'm assuming it's too late to bring the lights any closer since they Already stretched to the point where they are leaning.

Thats why I suggested trellis.

If you have something against trellis, then go with bamboo stakes and twisty ties.

If you have something against those, go with tomato cages.

No?

Try screwing in eyehooks to the ceiling running line to tie up your plants.

No?

Get a beefier girl that produces thick lateral branches

I'm out of suggestions…..anyone else?

lol

Well one other thing since your growing hydroponics you can also get a scrog net if they are that weak an it will help beef up your yeilds as well one more thing I should mention when you are vegging your plants try too keep your lights close to the plants so they don't stretch so much an keep the fan on high. P.S. when light is low just watch the heat so it doesn't damage your plants, an if you see heat stress just raise the light a little.

Like someone else said use a fan/get some wind up in there during veg/thru flowering, itll help get the stems stonger and help prevent mold
