Is It Ok to...

  1. soiless mix/genhydro flora, lucas formula/koolbloom
    veged them to between a foot to 18inches

    so i am 3+weeks into flowering and they are doing great, almost too good, the problem i am having (if you wanna call it that) is roughly 8 of my 14 ladies are gaining weight pretty fast (in bud) and are starting to get a gangster lean going on
    am i ok to steak them up to keep em from bending/breaking too far? and if i am good to give the ones that need it support where should i tie them up, just a bare spot of stem? in how many places should i support them? just a spot near the top?
    thx for the any help you can give me
    :hello:
    :wave:

  2. Holy shit! What strain are they?
    Its hard to believe a 3 week flowering plant is topling over with the weight of their buds. Do you have a fan blowing on them.
    Anyway, just push bamboos into the soil (try not to damage roots), and loosly lie them up, anywhere below a node will do.
     




  3. thx 4 the info man, yea there is/was/has been a fan blowing them around their entire lifespan (lighten it as they flower?)
    most of the ones that need support are either papas candy or white widow (clones) i got from a life long friend that were almost fully veged when i got em, and a couple are just kind bagseed
    my other bagseeds that seem to be mostly indica have tree trunks for stalks and are doing fine, no need for support
    i am sure i can let em go for a little while longer but i am almost positive in a week they will absolutely need it :eek:

  4. What lighting system are you using?
     

  5. agreed and like john said delicate touch is the name of the game.
     


  6. vegged under mhs
