Top HEAVY

[madscientist1978]

Anybody know what to do when your plants get too top heavy and start leaning?

I use tomato cages, 4' ones, like 3-4 dollars each at home depot. Else you can get bamboo stakes at your local grow store on the cheap too.

prop it up with canes + ties. Run strings from above to carry weight. Chop it down and start again, the damn things just to big.

Keep the air circulating around the buds or you might see some mold.

Nice! I just got some samples, I will have to give them a try on the next round. My stalks always hold the plant up but the branches get so heavy that I have to tie them up to the stalk.
