My fears have been realised. I am only 4 1/2 weeks into flowering and I already have to find a way to support the buds. The stretch that occurred early on has led to some stems that aren't strong enough to support the buds.
I will try to strap them up tonight. It's kind of irritating because I only have to make it a week and half longer to my final flush. Once I get to the flushing stage I don't have to worry about flushing the resevoir and cleaning the trays anymore. Now I have to tie them all up, but I'll have to find a way to take them all down to clean it out, then tie them all up again.
I guess it's a good problem to have if you are going to have a problem.
Also, one of my very top buds seems to be yellowing. Haven't had the problem ANYWHERE else. Not lower on the same plant or on any of the other plants, so I don't think it's an N deficiency. Some other form of a lockout or problem, any suggestions?
