Is it normal for photoperiods to grow like this... Look at picture... I had to tie it to a stick with a pot with rocks in it to stand straight but now the colas are growing sideways... Quick note.. The main stem broke 2 months into veg and I just tried nursing her back to health ... Well I must of did a hell of a job cause now it has 4 huge main colas and 3 smaller ones..should I just wait and seeing if the colas start to grow upwards more now that I harvested one of my girls so I can put the whole photoperiod under the light or should I start an elaborate weave os twine through the plant to support the colas... And btw the bigger fuller cola in front of The photoperiod is my other blueberry autofem .. Pay no attention.. Just big one I the back

The use of Silica is very helpful in making the stems thicker and stronger to support the weight of the buds.....LOL, wait till the buds start bulking and really take some weight on!

Stake'em and stake them how you want......Staking them sideways will be like "supercropping" and increase yield!

Ok i have bloom nutes I used them during preflower but stopped them during full flower... Should I continue with bloom nutes .. N15 P6 K30 ... Would that be okay to use while budding

I have a very strict curing process.
I dry to the stem "cracking" and not bending ......This is done in an area just for drying....It is kept at 70F and averages 55%RH. It should take at least 2 weeks and 3 is better.....
Cure is done Mason jar and the tops are off for 2-5 min a day (RH dependent) for 4 weeks.......sometimes a bit longer if I feel it has better potential....sometimes to 6+ weeks of cure...with the tops not coming off but for a second or 2 every few days, when the bingo RH is met....I keep smelling it and can tell when its ready to my liking....You'll learn that trick if you pay attention to it....

Yeah I've started to notice ... I hung my buds out in a dark wooden closet for 4 days .. Until the little stems snapped then placed them in a mason jar.. The closet had a consistNd RH of 63 and temps 70 and now that they're in jars I still keep them in that closet and like I said burp them 5 min a day ... Here's a pic of a semi cured bud... I know it's not a crazy cure like you do but tell me if the bud looks decent

Some plants do not the genetics to support there own weight, and thus need a little help via staking them, they look good overall:)

staked and took you advice and added more nitrogen and leaves are starting to perk up and turn greener... Here's an overall picture ( only Half the plant .. There's another half the same size out of frame with the same staking technique ) and a close up of a new formed cola ... Tell me what you think
