So i started this clone a few months ago and she started to grow to the light and now she has so many secondary shoots that she can't hold her self up and is resting on the side of the bucket. Should i try to stand her up straight or let her just keep growing away from the pot? Will the plant be able to support itself if i stand it straight up? Thank you. Pictures provided

I'd probably just let her grow, but add more soil to your pot, bury that square it'll help keep the roots in the soil so it doesn't lift up.

yes....completely bury the rockwool... then keep going until u reach about 1/4 inch from either the bottom leaves or 1 inch from the top of the bucket....whichever comes 1st

For sure. That for the advice. It is str8 up lst but the plant hangs off the side of the pot almost 2 feet. I am worried if it grows to like 3 feet. She will grow nugs and it will just snap the main stem when the colas get big

So i have one person prop it up and one that says let it grow lol. Anyone else on this one? I Know the nodes will grow bigger if I leave it the way it is. I just have a feeling the buds will make it too top heavy and snap the main stem, then there will be NO buds

Also, Do you think if i prop it up, The plant will be able to recover and eventually hold itself up? Or is this hoping for too much?

yeah i Was gonna put a stake and just tie it up so it can stand up straight. Do you think eventually it will be able to support itself though?

It is not in the dirt. It is resting on the pot itself. How do I am another picture? I want to show what the whole thing looks like so you can see how big it is

not if u are tying it up....it will rely on the stake for support...it will be strong, but not as strong as if it carried itself

Just look at the stem where it is touching the pot. If there is "wear and tear" on the stem or raw stem then I would worry. But if it is just leaning on it and bouncing occasionally in the wind it should get strong and support itself. If you plant is still bendable I would not try to stand it up, but rather turn the top back toward the pot in a classic LST circle and then post her in with a stake so it grows over its root system. Otherwise your pot might fall over when it gets heavier.
