Snapping under weight

[Krissi Carbone]

Guys I have an SOS

My AG is breaking everywhere under her weight. I have yo yos coming tomorrow. I tried to tie her with pipe cleaners and garden velcro I tried to get her in a tomato net and I am just making this so much worse. She is be bending in multiple places-the bottom half of the branches and then where the branch meets the bottom of the colas. She has no main somehow she is like I counted 10 colas. She was super spread out to begin with. When I moved my big girl out of the tent. I didn't realize she was being held up by her the last couple days. I'm freaking out cause I taped the shit out of her but she is hanging on threads. Any advice as to what to do until the yo yos come? I'm thinking not to touch her anymore today and let her sit and then just attack her tomorrow getting her secured when I get to yo yos....

I have never had this issue before. I am shaking cause I am just unsure as to how to approach this right now. I'm worried I will lose her completely because of this stress.

Any thoughts?

I know these pics are hard to tell what's going on but I can't keep moving her and having those branches flop around anymore, I know that much....she can't hold herself up at all

Hey sorry that's poop you got this .... But have you considered thin floral wire to lightly wrap the branches and support them from the upper metal cross supports in the tent?

Edit: I used it for tie down and upper support my last grow....it's easy to cut and bend

Wrap some string around the outside and pull them all in? Got any stakes you can put in the pot to tie them to?

The problem is when I tried that, was since she is all colas, her nugs are so long and since she is snapping in 2 spots, to secure the bottom branches is not enough because just above the bottom of the cola, she starts to bend again and if I tie that, I tie the nugs and if I tie under them, I make that second bend occur..I'm like beating my head against a wall

I did but I needed get that anyway since I didn't have any so I ordered the yo yos. I mean I know it is what it is right now and I prolly just need to wait til tomorrow when the yo yos come but I guess I'm even more concerned that she has damaged branches in multiple spots all over the place. I know these things are resilient AF as I've seen it for myself but this is harsh

Bamboo stakes cut to either 3' or 4' lengths. You want the bamboo stakes taller than the cannabis branches whichever length is most suitable and held to the bamboo stakes by either clips, gardening wire, gardening tape or twine to support the plant stems.

Get a tomato cage, that should provide ample support. If you can't slide it on over the top, just cut the two hoop wires in one place so that it opens and closes like a book.

Hey Krissi!

Well bounce a bunch of ideas for you and I'm sure one will be good!!

If you have stakes, place them around the pot, and take some duct tape, tape them to the side of the pot. It should make a nice circle with the stakes at a slight angle.
Use those stakes to attach the colas where they come close, it should provide some stability?

What KingJohn said. Thin bamboo as close to stem as can, and secure in a few places. I have had 8 in same pot. Wont hurt, do all at same time. I use garden wire. Don't panic. A little silica is helpful. Someone there can advise what is available. Can see in pic, dark.

I'm sorry u go through this you're such a good person and an awesome grower I hope it works out for you. I hope you figure it out you see how I tie my shit up I will be of no help to you. But I can keep you in my prayers

Look into SCROG for next grow with this strain, grow them supported in a net. Right now, all you can do is a stick to tie the stem to, and then creative stringing ..

You can make your own quick yo-yo... use some string/fishing line to tie the cola up, put the string over top bar of tent, then tie a weight on the other end of the string. Instant yo-yo
