OK guys I got one plant with bud so big and heavy they keep falling over the stems are massive but still can't handle the weight of the growing buds still have about 2-3 weeks until harvest! I used some shifty string to tie the ones leaning over to the top of the tent! I've heard of yoyos but I have no idea the actual name of the product someone help plzzz!!

Never had this problem before but I'm kinda happy about having it now!! I mean fuck who wouldn't be! The buds are massive and haven't even started to pack on the weight that they normally do in the last few weeks!!!!!

netting is commonly used near canopy level, encircling large pots with wire fencing is done, string, sticks, twist ties, you get the idea.

I've done a Scrog net before it was a pain in the ass I couldnt move things around was a bitch to water Ect. Ect. But I'm guessing if it do this strain again with the same lst and training I might have to do it on a scrog! It's a slow grower but the buds are just massive and dence af on this pheno! ( hence the reason I've kept it)
I may look into the wire fencing thing almost like they use for tomatoes!

Or maybe just do about a hundred 1 ft tall clones! Like a sea of green but watering would be a bitch! How do they water sogs does anyone know?

Watering sog is a bitch. I would put mine in shallow totes and pull out one tote at a time and water a dozen plants. Then when runoff got close to the hempy hole I would rotate out into spare totes and clean them. It was a pain in the ass

Yea to be honest I thought about sog for all about 5 seconds lmfao it's just a pain in the ass I like using living organics for one(that's hard to do in pots under 1g) and 2 instead of worrying about 4 or 5 big girls Id have to deal with a hundred give or take 20 small Lil fuckers that would drink like fish bc of the small pot! I just saw a whole boat load of problems using that technique with my set up and my amount of space!

I did perpetual on top of that so a lot of plants and clones at all different stages and a bunch of small containers. If you don’t have a job or a family no big deal but it was a pain. Always had a ton of stuff to do everyday to maintain it. Then I went to few plants and scrog. Really freed a lot of my time up that was worth more then the extra harvest and yield I was getting from a perpetual sog.

I also tried perpetual lasted about 4 months and it was just to much for my space if I had a big enough space I'd do it again! I am kinda perpetual now the day I chop plants I have a few ready to go into the flower room but I only harvest about every 70-80ish days! When I first planned my perpetual goal was to harvest every 2 weeks and it was just a mess!

Yeah me to. Not that I didn’t enjoy it but it was just so much. It cut in to way to much family time. Forget about going out of town or on vacation. If I had to work late I had to stay up late catching up. The entire thing was so dependent on my scheduled time day in day out. I had a 3 week cycle and it consumed all my time.

Netting, using stakes are classic methods.
If its only a few branches (and you have a sturdy main stem), you could try using a length of paracord to tie the branch to the main stem (so you are using the stem to help bear some of the weight of the branch). Loop the cord around the main stem (a couple of nodes above the branch you want to support), run it down and around the branch you wish to support (usually you only need to secure the branch around 1/4 of the way from where the branch connects to the stem). Pull the paracord loop tight, until the main stem bears some of the weight of the branch. Then use a simple 'granny' knot to secure the paracord (so it now loops around the stem and the branch). Low tech but it works for a few branches :)
