If you run very low humidity your stems will become dry like tree branches and they will snap off very easy with bud weight. I've seen this happen , just stake up all your branches early in flower or bring your humidity up to close to 45% and it won't happen but watch out for powdery mildew if you get any higher than that .

Thanks man!
Using Serenade and neem. Especially before rain or damp Eve's. I'm in an outdoor fenced in area.

You will be able to like comments after you go from New member to member. Also I super crop my branches so there tough and don't snap.

I have seen a lot of strains and have personally grown a few out that look like the tops could not support a fly, just before flowering, let alone huge cola. If the plant has been kept healthy and vigorous throughout it's life cycle there is no reason why it would not be able to handle what it can. But, I have had to stake up some stems that had budz that just got too damn heavy...now that is a GOOD problem to have ;-) :bigjoint::peace:

You can by yo yo. Little cheap plastic pulleys that enable you to tie your branch to the top bars of your grow tent and adjust as needed.

it`s normally red or orange light for stems

Some people veg with a hps or 3000k instead of cooler blues just to get thicker stems so they don`t get this issue later

but if you grow a fast big budding bitch it can happen, normally the fast sativa doms that do this more, the indica doms seem to normally grow fatter branches but the flowering of a fast sativa dom hybrid can be very dramatic to watch, even if you do end up having to support the buds

Ty, info about Satuva makes sense. They are the ones that are Satuva Dom. And they're growth is dramatic. Still almost 3 months to go and as of today range from 6'Hx7'W to 7.5'Hx9W

Nice, ty! I think I'm blessed with a problem
So, your saying as weight developed in buds the stock and branches will mature, harden and be ready to hold weight in all the bud sites? Think I'll be using a lot of garden ribbon. I'm seriously flabbergasted what I did this year using diluted Supersoil recipe and supplementing with various nutes

What do you mean you supercrop branches? You top them off? I may not understand what supercrop means, lol I started simple and W lived over 8-9 years. I'm doing something right! Appreciate any advice. Ty

You're gonna have a great time searching this site and learning new things!
To search any subject easily just type into Google- rollitup *keywords*

Super cropping is hard stress training , snapping branches- almost . There's a nac to it but never a better time to have a practice on one or two smaller branches to play about with. Not when you're in flower tho!
