all the colas fell onto the strings i have running between my posts. they are all laid down in a circle. looks like a crown of buds.

They look good man its a good thing you had the foresight to add the strings =)

Was there anything different you did to the one that held up?

ok, here is a couple pics of the GDP that I tied up, from the bottom up.
you can see the green hemp string better in the second pic. That main cola in the front never started to fall over, the other two main colas in the back did, but they were tied up before that happened, so they weren't weighing down any lower branches. So the lower branches never had the bigger higher ones weighing down on them. I lost most of my lower branches on my second crop from them snapping from the weight of the top branches leaning/laying on them (the plant were like 2 miles hike in the forest, so I wasn't there that much).... seems to work fine... looks just the same as some of yours that you tied the sting around the posts...

yes, you start at the bottom and go up, like christmas tree lights. but this only works when your branches are standing. after it rains and they all break you have to repair them from the top down. i had to repair my branches. i'll take pics this evening.







WOW!!!!!!! they look so good today. i went thru and trimmed the dead growth under 2 more of the big ones. i was standing inside the plant reaching up to trim dead growth. inside my plant. heheheheheh. they are soooooooo happy right now. all their leaves are sticking straight out. they are all starting to stand themselves back up. everything is sooooo green and fresh smelling. i'll get pics when the ligthing is better. direct sun is too bright for my camera. :weed:

yeah, your absolutely right about that... thats why I tied her originally, I heard a storm was coming through to I tied the main colas together, and then to the post next to it (those 1 by's I just put in the ground yesterday), but it never rained, lower branches started to lean and fall over because of weight, and that plant still has almost a month to go! But yeah, if rain pushes em down, you have to start at the top, or it would be almost impossible to get done (straitening them back up), or at least take forever... would you mind laying on the ground next to the base of the plant and take a picture looking up? I just always thought that, if I was in your garden ever, that is the picture I would really want to get, :)

Are you thinking of putting another couple of ropes on those poles to hold them back in case of another wind. Are the buds as fat on the ones that didnt bend over as the ones that did?

i tied off what i could. they are taller than the poles so they just bend over. the plant that didn't fall over was not topped. everything that was topped or trained fell over. the one i left alone is fine.
