How to support my cannabis colas?

Hi there, my cannabis it's starting flowering stage and I've noticed that the main cola it's starting to slightly falling to one side, so I realized that it could be because the weight of the little buds starting to appear. I have read that if I don't support cannabis colas the plant spend part of his energy to hold its branches instead of making bigger buds.
Actually I don't know how to help my plant to support its colas, so any idea or recommendation should be great.

the plant height it's 1,52 mts, she is a Currant Kush.
Consider that once in a while the wind speed it's up to 25 kms/h (usually between 10 kms/h to 18 kms/h)

Thanks !

Hi, I have seen this video before about bamboo stakes, , but this doesn't harm your cannabis roots? I'm not really sure about that, I don't want to harm my cannabis roots, specially when its roots went outside the soil.

It won't harm the roots. I use a butcher knife to sever roots in if they are rootbound and too large to transplant. Roots do like the tops and split into two and increase root health.If you don't go nuts. So little stakes will not hurt.

Okeeey thaaanks ! I'll going to buy some bamboo stakes tomorrow !

Love and understanding is the bedrock of a solid support system. And bamboo and string.

Hi again, sorry for not have answered before, didn't have time to. Well I added some stakes and to support the main cola and, I added another one crossed as you can see in the photo (It helped a lot, specially with strong winds), I want to add some string to support the other colas, but I'm not really sure if do it right now or wait a little until the buds weight more.
Thanks for all!

Bamboo stakes is the easy answer here, but thats not the 'real' issue

by ur pic, you have your plant in an 'aero box' where in, the wind flies in over that fence mounted mesh

sucking out the air around the plant, annoying the plant, drying it out way too fast, and also stressing the stems

as shes in bud mode shes having a lot of trouble building strength in them cell walls, again drying out too quick

if you use this location next grow, use a pot larger than you have now, ample water perhaps with extra peat to avoid the drying out routine

and larger holes or perhaps replace the camo mesh on the wood fence,

this is what I'm trying to say pic is from Jorge Cervantas



good luck

this was my more creative support solution

Any thing will do has long has it can be driven into the ground around the plant and the cola tied to it,I would avoid any thing metal though,i don't know why i don't like using metal because it works just has well,but does not look right.You can even use,string tied to the plant top section and then tied to something like a brick,but you have to do this in 3 place's for it to work right,to form a kinda tent frame shape,this is what i have done out doors a few times
