Another oops

moving my og kush tonight and notice one of my branches was bent over from the weight of the buds on it.it put a good creas in the stem.i straitend it out and rapped it up with a match book cover and rapped tape around it,than braced it with a bamboo rod and tied stem to it. will it make it or not???? sorry i need to get a dig. camera so i can take photos.

As long as it didn't break/snap the stem, I'd say your doing abit of HST.

It will be just fine. A form of supper cropping you did lol. Its all good. You will see a knot form there.

Plants bending from bud weights?!?! That's a fine problem to have my friend.... a fine problem indeed.
Having said that, I've seen mighty weak plants grown indoors without a fan on them. The constant air movement really is required. It makes for MUCH stronger plants.
I've never seen these sorts of issues with an outdoor grow, so I assume we're talking about an indoor grow.
You might also consider some preventative support structure and tie your budding branches to a stake of some sort before they fall over.

Tead is right nice fan blowing to get the shimmer effect,also Kyle Kushmans , snapping technique I did on this grow and I gotta say it does make the branches stronger and more rigid to support bigger buds. Happy growing

I normally stake most of my own main cola bearing branches in flowering to stop them flopping about

So Fuzzy Duck, are you in the middle of harvesting them now? Beautiful buds!

Those plants where harvested either early 2013 or some time in 2012 i don't normally keep journals of every grow these days in less changing strain !

Those buds all got the trim job on the plant prior to the chop 'n' harvest which was shortly done after the pic's where taken...


That was a Blue Mystic grow & if i remember correctly i think i was messing around with some soil amendments on that one with organic methods.
