NEED HELP! Buds are too big and falling over

• Here's my problem.
  
  I grow my plants in individual 5 gallon dwc buckets in a 9' by 8' area and each plant gets 2 sq feet to grow in.
  
  To replace the nutrients I simply lift the plant out of the bucket, clean it out, and refill it with the new solution. The plant is in a net pot and rests in a hole that is cut into the top of the bucket lid. Above the plants my lights are moving back and forth on light rails across the canopy so i cant hang anything from the ceiling. Having to lift out the lids means that any support i use has to be attached to the lid or the plant itself and a net cant be used because the plants have to be moved around to have the nutrients changed out.(any other places to attach it i cant think of or way to change my nutrients)
  
  I have tried using pipe hangers and bamboo stakes fastened to the lid but the pipe hangers bend and break eventually and are a bit flimsy now that they are made in china instead of the US. The buds are so heavy they are weighing the branches down to the point that they break and fall on each other and limit air circulation through the canopy increasing my risk for mold and mildew issues.
  
  Does anyone have any ideas of how i can support these plants. They are too big to tie to themselves (tried that as well)​

That ScrOG or SOG is only a good idea for soil or hydroponic units with a drain system where the plants don't have to be moved around.

Er what? You can SCROG a single plant to whatever size screen you like. I have done SCROGS with a single plant on an individual screen no more than 12" square. Easily small enough to move while still gaining the advantages of SCROG. SCROG for this issue is an excellent answer.
