They get plenty of water. At least twice a week. They also don't have the droopy uderwatered leaves. I'm just hoping the buds got too heavy for the stalks.
I'm hoping it's not a root problem.

Yup looks like weight Stalk with loose zip ties on bamboo shoots. My tomatoes doe the same thing. Speaking of that, tomato cage works too.

your laziness!

haha jk but you really do need to support your plants when they are in late flower, it can make the difference between good and great weed.

I'm going to agree and guess it's the weight of those buds that are causing the plant to fall over. Just go ahead and tie it to a post or rod as mentioned.

Yeah. I put some small ties along the bottom to help them stand upright but as as time went on it didn't really help.

Right on guys! Thanks for the tips.

And thank you. It is as monster cola. I experimented with topping and all natural.
It looks like not topping and growing natural might be the way to go for the Trainwreck strain.
The plants I topped 5 or 6 times have a bunch of little colas that don't look like they add up to the monster which is like 3 stacked beer cans. (Maybe not quit that round yet but almost)
The Bluedream and Afghan Kush don't really mind being topped 5 or 6 times. Those have big colas all over the place.

yep, your cola is pulling down thoes tiny stems. Walmart sells 4' bamboo shoots for 4.00 a dozen. BTW, I am interested to see the end results and any tips for that strain, as I have some trainwreck that I will start in about a month.

Right on. I should be harvesting in 10 days or so. I'll let you know the weight difference as soon as it's dried.
