Branch bent down from weight. Suggestions to fix?

[achaser87]

Hey guys, was watering my girl today when one of the branchs bent down from the weight and being moved. The tissue seems to be weak now and wont hold itself up. Any suggestions?

Ended up staking it with bamboo, all good RIU

Got a pic? Also is that a home made self irrigating pot?

I hope to have the same problem, buds too damn big for the stems

For future reference:

It is always better to prevent a situation, rather than to apply corrective measures after it spirals out of control! The way to prevent this type of thing in the future is to run a cheap reciprecating fan, inside your grow area (the air movement forces the branches to "bend and sway", strengthening them in order to prevent just this sort of thing).

Ive got 2 6 inch fans blowing in the tent and a 190cfm exaust, thanks for you input though.

They are def handy to have around, you can manipulate one hook to a limper, then string it across to another limper and have eachother support the other one. 40lb test for line so there is no breakage.

How much do bamboo posts cost each? I would like to pick some up. Thanks.

I got my 16x3ft bamboo canes for around £5 at a local home and garden store.

On your next grow, you can use a little Potassium Silicate AKA- rhino skin to deliver the silicate to help stiffen the branches along with the use of your fans. It's natural- silica is found in soil, so the plant up takes what it needs to grow stronger cell structure!
