Id stand them up and support them they are only getting heavier right now and you don’t want a branch to break right off.

Can I tie them with other ones that are holding up or I should find another way to support them

I would use some garden stakes for support or tie stings from the ceiling down to the buds to hold them up. I’ve also wrapped a string around the outside of a plant to create a ring that the buds leaned against and held each other up. I wouldn’t tie directly to another stem though because it would likely start pulling that one over.

I like and have done this method and was going to recommend the same.

Gets stakes, ties, or a trellis up.

Great for stacking or horizontal

I'd stake them.

I have tomato cages from my backyard gardens, if I need support I'd try that first. If that fails I'd do bamboo stalks from Home Depot.

I've tried that...works for awhile and then they both sag
I use 1mm guage bonsai wire and attach it to my light hood...and then around the saggy bud.

I use regular old roll of string. Looks like a puppet show after I'm done.

Plus side who doesn't love buds that face plant.

I like em big, I like em chunky...

I put 4 stakes and wrapped twine around the 4 stakes. I use binder clips to keep the string from sliding down the stakes. Just another option for you.

In a pinch use the above garden twist ties to tie the buds up to clothes rod going across the closet.
