DAY 37 FLOWER - COLA causing BENDY STEM.

Here are 3 pictures of the plant on it's 37th DAY of FLOWER
(after 48 DAYS of VEG)
The stem is clearly bending but I am unsure if it bends under the weight of the main top cola
or simply aims for better light....???

I suppose I'd better use some kind of support.
I don't want to get to this stage and then have a main step break.

The idea of using YOYO's as supports does not appeal.
The string could be accidentally caught and do more harm than good.

I have some 2ft, 3 Hooped 'CAGE' type supports,
but the bushiness of the plants may prove awkward to fit into a cage....?

BAMBOO RODS and THIN CABLE TIES are my favourite idea as supports.
IS THERE ANY REASON NOT TO USE THIS SYSTEM???

Monster buds there my dude. I have no advice just want to give you a kudos on that fat bitch. Well done.

Anything written above can only be considered the rambling on of a belligerent old fool who has created a magical land in his mind where he is an amazing marijuana cultivator. all pictures and information have been stolen from the "worldwide web"

I think they have at least 3 more weeks to go....?
The pistils are mostly white, still.
It's my first crop so I am quite proud
and, on the day before I flipped to FLOWER,
I took 24 cuttings.
23of which are now on DAY 8 of 18/6 VEG.

When the above crop finishes flowering
the VEG CLONES will go into that FLOWER tent
(after I take cuttings, of course).
PERPETUAL GROW IN MOTION.

I haven't used any BUD BOOSTING additives.
Just gradually increased the base nutes - CANNA AQUA VEGA A & B
(I didn't change to AQUA FLORE)
and used Zym and Rhizotonic.

When my VEG CLONES are on WEEK 4 of FLOWER
I think I will try using some PK13/14
and enough extra MAGNESIUM
to equal out the problems of Mg uptake that P & K can cause....

Plants do move and bend to the light, photo ...light Morph lean or bends too, easily fixed by rotating your plant daily, or if you have weak thin stems unable to hold the weight of the colas look to feeding your plant silicon supplements, or install a bigger fan ...lol

4 to 5 weeks!!
