Flowering plant collapsing

Hey, not sure what’s going on here. I’m hoping that it’s the simplest answer which would be the buds are too heavy for the branches to support them. This plant was leaning sideways A bit at first and now, most branches (with exception to the main stem) are bending but not breaking, sometimes at 90• angle. The plant looks pretty healthy otherwise, buds are ripening and putting on frost, smells amazing. This one plant (Stardawg F2) is the only one in the bloom room doing this, all others are growing upward and look normal. The only thing confusing me is that some of the bending stems look thick enough that they should easily support the weight of the buds. Just hoping for more experienced eyes to check it out in case I may have overlooked something.

Man thats a really stretchy plant, what light you running?

They look like they just need support. I used trellis for the first time last grow. When i cut them out of it, some stayed standing, some dropped a couple branches, some completely collapsed under their own weight.
 
Yea, my purple chems stayed short n bushy but the Stardawg stretched a bit. Was using a generic blurple LED (worked out ight) but switched at beginning of flowering to a 1000w quantum board, much brighter and more powerful light.
I got some plant yo-yo’s but they suck. If I tried to use them the tension is too much and they would probably end up stripping buds right off the stem if I let go of them. I will try using some string or something else. Just gonna be hard to do it at this stage without damaging the plant.

Bamboo stakes work well.
 
My branches for the most part went softer late flower, combined with weight I ended up running lines to catch all the tippers. Sillica would of help me in my situation. Trestles would of been good if I planned for that style too.
 
You need stronger fans, those stems are realllllllllly tiny. How they meant to support that weight?
I just got some brick layer line when my girls started getting too chunky and just tied up the colas onto tent frame.

Would be pretty hard to put a trellis up now.....

Not at all.
You start from the top and you GENTLY weave the heads through. It's better than stabbing the soil and destroying roots this late into the flower. I can see staking when the plant's young ... but after stretch??????
