My Bruce Banner auto is growing some big dense buds it’s on week 4 of flowering and the branches can’t take the weight anymore so what would you guys recommend doing? Also my Purple Punch S1 has turned into a monster can’t wait to see the buds on her this is my first indoor grow F523B049-C9F7-4C65-85F9-C2288F13D1C6 by Thunderbug91 posted Nov 16, 2022 at 4:01 AM B998E794-72BA-423D-8FF4-F008E05CB2E1 by Thunderbug91 posted Nov 16, 2022 at 4:01 AM 6D69F44F-1EC6-4C27-B7A9-F5C3671B344A by Thunderbug91 posted Nov 16, 2022 at 4:01 AM F5828DE0-41EC-46DA-8ADF-58A26ACF0836 by Thunderbug91 posted Nov 16, 2022 at 4:01 AM 0610AADD-804D-400C-9E80-A348D088EDEC by Thunderbug91 posted Nov 16, 2022 at 4:01 AM FB28A4D7-E49B-4671-9C50-FF88A7244A9B by Thunderbug91 posted Nov 16, 2022 at 4:01 AM 2099940E-2AE5-4BBB-BD42-EFFB7930C920 by Thunderbug91 posted Nov 16, 2022 at 3:59 AM 216DF92A-0C39-443E-8099-506AB8C3B080 by Thunderbug91 posted Nov 16, 2022 at 3:59 AM 3B735F10-634F-4965-8244-98CCC9DD1A3B by Thunderbug91 posted Nov 16, 2022 at 3:59 AM BAA447C7-3D06-4B9B-B973-64908A8F29C7 by Thunderbug91 posted Nov 16, 2022 at 3:59 AM
Its not a pretty solution, but you can always use some twine, or coated garden or baling wire to secure the snapping / bending branches to your side or ceiling poles, just be careful not to let any twine or flammable strings too close to the light. Alternatively, take a ratchet strap, bungee cord or just string, and make an H. tie a short length between 2 sets of tent poles, then get a 3rd piece of string to span across the center of the tent like so I-------| That center string, needs to be high enough to tie your branches, but low enough the there is no fire risk from the light. anyway from the center string, cut as many short pieces as you need to secure the branches. (I tie them around the stem just beneath the buds) IF your tent poles are smooth and you worry that your strings will slide down, take a few pens, pencils or similar shaped object, and duct tape it to the tent poles at whatever height you don't want the string to fall past. You could also get a 4x4 trellis net, just hook it on 3 corners (so you don't have to worry about getting it around your big plant and just shove the branches up through the holes and lay them on the net to support. Here is a banner auto where I had a thin ass branch snap and just laid it up on the net to recover. (I pulled it away from the main bud clusters to make the weak branch easier to see) Hope this helps mate and your Banner def has some nice buds on it, mine still have about a 4-6 weeks to go!
@Thunderbug91 Local garden center will have packs of Bamboo stakes just for this kind of stuff. Finally a use for all the twisty ties you saved. BNW
nice buds dude get creative and get those things secured the branches will snap and kill the buds if you dont
Alright tried the trellis net and I said screw it because the purple punch S1 is too fat so I just tied the branches up with thin string problem solved definitely will use the trellis next grow ED110FB2-6A82-4743-A751-86902A817EC1 by Thunderbug91 posted Nov 16, 2022 at 3:19 PM
