Staking Plants?

[Rootbound]

I have a couple of girls 2 weeks in flower that have weak branching in my opinion. They are in 2 gallon pots of Coco. How do you insert stakes in the container without disturbing the roots? Thanks RB

personally, i put the stakes in very close to the edge of the container if i need to stake during flower. i figure it has the least chance of disturbing roots. i haven't had a problem with it yet. if you're worried about it, you could always tie them up using string attached to your ceiling or chains if your lights are hung on chains..

I also place them to the outside edge

Thanks alot all!!!! This is my first run in Coco and the growth is amazing !!!! I move the plants in and out to water so tieing them to the cieling is not an option right now but thanks for the tip. Staking them out soon. All the extra growth is what concerns me. RB

Found some really nice rods for staking plants at Lowes - plastic coated metal rods with ridges to hold the ties.
