    Default Plant is too heavy and is bending

    I have this problem that the buds are too heavy now and it is bending over. I’m not sure what to do here.
    I think I’m about 3 weeks away from harvest. On the 18th I plan to flush for 2 weeks.

    I like big floppy buds, so I always keep a few yo-yos on hand.

    I had tied up branches with pipe cleaners so maybe that is what was wrong. Took them all off and she is spread out a bit more now.

    These are probably a lot lighter weight yo-yos they have fishing line. You hang them from a line or something on the top of the tent and then you pull the hook down to your top cola and you can either let the tension gently tug up on them all the time or you can lock them in position but it'll hold those colas up real well.

    As long as you take the weight off, just make sure you find a gap as close to the top of the bud as possible and tie string or what ever round the stem and then tie it off above it somewhere.
