Getting top heavy...

[Co1e]

Would a coat hanger be OK. Maybe plastic covered. I'ts only a gallon pot (12/12 from seed) so I know the roots are prolly jamed tight. Hate to jam something thick down there. From the way there are wobbling I need to get this tonight.

String don't seem cool. Untie it everytime you pull the plant out? What say you?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or thoughts.

i got the same problem with one of mine and was thinking the same thing,
i dont see what it could harm but maybe wipe it down with some bleach

You could tape a stick to the side of your gallon container and tie the plant to that, or hang hangers above the plant and tie your girls buds up, string works well

Use a long thin wooden kebab stick and stick deep in to the soil and tie the top cola to that with a piece of string. This wont damage any roots. Water the plant first and make sure the soil is nice and moist before probing with the kebab stick and stick it down deep in to the soil as you can.

Ended up using a plastic covered hanger. Made sure the cut end that exposed the metal was on top. Inserted into the pot along the side and could bend it into shape to support the cola. Didn't tie to the support just a little lean for now. Can always rebend or tie down the road. Thanks for the suggestions. Almost did the tape thing Weedoozie but crashed last night and only had 30 min this morning to make it work. Add yet another thing to the list to the list for the second grow.

Make sure there are not any buggies on or in it, spray with cold jets of water/insecticidal soap. Better yet, dip the whole thing in some alcohol
