Plant Collapsed

Hi

I'm a newbie. Two of my plants have collapsed due to not having yo-yo hangers. I need to get some urgently tomorrow. They looked ok until I moved one and then two of them collapsed and the others arent far behind. Tried as hard as I could to get them to stay upright, so have had to lean them against the tent. Afterwards my hands and arms were really sticky from the plants. My question is could these be damaged at all by trying to get amongst them and getting them to stay upright ? They look more collapsed than the pics show.

Yo-Yo hangers are for the lights . Plants start to get heavy around week 5 . That means that your buds are bulking up . You can fix this by tying up the plants with string to the top of your tent/grow room . This happens to me every grow . I look at it as I am doing things right . Love them fat girls.

Dude get that light closer ASAP. In the meantime place a straw next to them and gently tie them to that, or tie them to each other. They may be OK, but stop moving them, yeah? ;)

Also, having fans blowing on your ladies from the very beginning will help with this problem. It strengthens your ladies' stalk and branches and in doing so, brings the need to tie up heavy branches to a minimal.
Phenomenal work by the way. Your girls look very happy. Good luck

This is a yo yo hanger for plants.
But a string tied to an eye hook will work.
I use these if thongs get out of hand.

The black ones fail frequently
The white ones cost more and bo not lock.

I like them because they can be used all over.
I stretch them horizontally and hang
buds from them sometimes.
Support vent hose.
Keep a toddler amused
Etc...

Not disagreeing with proper training but these are handy.

Tomato cages.. 42 inch.. cut off the bottom 6-8 inches..

The cages themselves will hold many branches.. but then use garden twist wire to hold up any that dont stay up with the cage..

The cages hold up branches as well as give you a centrally located nearly infinite number of points to tie off to.

I tried many things.. 42 in cages and garden twists are a great choice..
Haven't seen a branch fall down in quite some time.

When thongs get out of hand lol I prefer the black ones.
