Update: Some of the branches are starting to droop over. I assume from the weight of the bud.
I wasn't prepared for this and not sure what to use to hold them up better.
I guess this is why people use trellis nets.

Looking good, esp for a first grow. The first few grows are meant to be learning experiences, push your boundaries a little bit each time and try new things. Definitely research all the popular training techniques, lst, topping, mainlining, etc. You're doing a good job at the actual growing part, so I think you're going to have a blast in your next grow if you control your bud sites and canopy and defoliate a bit. Something that will work to hold up your fat buds are "plant yoyos", I think hydrofarm makes expensive ones and there are plenty of generics. You could tie them up yourself, but these things save you time, effort, and a lot of frustration over using something like string or fishing line.
