I need support

I probably should have thought this through before but this plant is getting quite top heavy. The branches seem pretty strong but I'm concerned that as it plumps up the mains may topple. Is it too late to use some bamboo stakes? I'm concerned I'll damage the roots. This girl is in a 3 gallon fabric pot so I can't really attach anything to the outside of the pot.

My other thought is to use some string between the tent poles but that's going to become quite the mess at this stage. Any hints, tips, or tricks are welcome.

You can also use a trellis netting attached to the tent poles. They will keep the branches from flopping over.

If it is like early to mid-flower cycle then it’s a good idea to support them some how for proper light distribution but if it is near the end in ripening phase I just let the big flowers hang down. Either way they won’t even care if you drive a stake through the root ball. Won’t even flinch...
