Hi guys,

My Dr Grinspoon is in flower and all her stems are breaking under the weight. They are already supported but the buds are simply too heavy.

If I leave them hanging, will they be ok?? it doesent look like lots of water can pass through the bend....the stems are not actually broken they are still intact, just bent to 90 degrees....

Thanks

You've inadvertently super cropped your plant, they should be ok but is there no way to support them

Find a way to support them whether stakes or netting or just twist ties not a huge deal tho you run silica? If so they'll prob pop back up

I use masking tape and popsicle stiks... then support with bamboo canes and twist ties..
Good luck!

I think I'm just going to leave them... They will be done in 2 weeks. I tried a bit earlier on. My word... Incredible strain that's all I can say

As u can see by the one plant in the pic, falling over is not always a bad thing .

As long as the phloem and xylem are intact it shouldnt be a problem.

Try to tie strings to something above plant then tie a loop around the branch. If the stem is split just put some tape around it and it'll fix itself. It's annoying, but it's a good problem to have when you're buds are too heavy lol
