Hey all,
Quick question. I am in week 7 and things look great!, but where I am loving the big heavy nuggets I am wondering what if anything I should do for the branches that are starting to hang and sag from the weight of my buds?

They look great, should I leave them be or tie them upright?

Thanks all,
U F

Stake or tie 'em ...

Keep them in the light and off the floor.

Cheers

A simple string looped around the stalk below the bud and tied to something above will work. Its nice to put tomato netting horizontally laid across the growing plant. Tomato cages might be able to placed over each plant indivdually.

From my outdoor runs:
4 4-6 foot bamboo poles per plant. drill holes to run string through and run string loops around the stems directly below each cola. I even "daisy chain" them together, 1 string with 2-5 loops coming off, 1 every foot or so (like a prison chain gang) Then you can hang several buds off one line.

That's awesome! I can only hope my buds are big enough to snap the stumplike branches I'm getting! Peace

I had to switch to T-bars from bamboo. The bamboo snapped right off. :(

Thanks all! I figured as much, "just tie them up stupid!, again you are making it too hard!" hehehe

I didn't have time last night, but I will be suspending my girls over the next couple nights.

I have decided I am going to reveg my girls for my first grow to see what I can get.

Thanks again,
UF

Good to hear! they look great!

I figure being my first grow and after all the woody went thru (microgrow, hydro, move here move there ) And after seeing what the SFVOG does ( :confused0054: ) I am now kinda attached to my babies :)
