Hey ppl

Got a few plants at 3 week of flower, plants are aprox 4 ft tall under a 600 w light. They are in a 1.5m by 2m enclosed area and are sort of growing into each other.
I took them out today to put in another room (power outage) and most of the long branches drooped to the floor, even the the stems were about to topple over. Wasnt an issue in the grow room coz they were supporting each other.
Sooo questions is whats they best way forward here? Just whack em back in the grow room and lean em against each other?
Or should i be supporting my girls with stakes? How bout the branches? Somehow support them too?
Any tips would be appreciated.

I heard something about a product that makes a sling around a stem and then supports it from above. Like putting plants in traction. I have thought of that before but always wondered if it would hurt the stem at the pressure point.

Bamboo and strings work well for me, but much smaller plants. If they are going to stay in the grow room, you can always tie them to the roof to hold them up, I've seen lots of large scale grows that do that.

Do you have an oscillating fan? That will help on future grows, you want to keep the girls excercised to grow strong and hold themselves up.
