Your info is a little off man, 6 days into flower yougo t three white hairs per branch maybe but definitly not heavy colas. If your looking to tie them down read up on LST. Theres a bit more to it than just bend them over or tie them down, dont hurt your babies. If you meant 6 weeks ... heavy colas is a great thing , stake em up if you can or tie them to a higher anchor point.If the tops are bent over this far in it could hurt your yield as it will redirect flowering hormones lower down the plant.Good Luck

Good answer John....I was wondering about the "6th day into flower" part as well. When the buds get heavy, you're looking to support them with stakes, netting, or supporting them from above with string or wire.

Good luck!
