Not quickly at all. Weeks. You're shooting for more strength by the time the buds start to fatten.
Ways to thicken the stem to support more weight

- Start date
Would 2nd week of flower be too late to add it

Yes a fan moving them helps strengthen the stem.

you can spend $100 on a bottle of silica or you can use a plant yoyo that you'll have to use anyway >>
Show the rest of the plant , I have doubts is weedI start bending the main stalk when the plant is young and supercrop lightly near each main branch. And on each of those branches right next to the main stalk. And you can use silica and alfalfa in your watering, among other things and really, really, really good soil. It makes them happy!

This one had a lot of the main stalk buried when she was put in this bed. [I wonder how thick it's gotten under the surface ?]
Then the fans help too. You want lots of air movement in their space and enough moving around them to keep them wiggling a little bit too.
Other people on here like @ganga gurl420 and @double and many others could offer some more advice too. And I'm sure it will comeI will be busy while we are waiting

Are you trying to be funny, or did you just not actually look at the photos?
Ya' know there's this old saying, "a wise person speaks when they have something to say and a fool speaks because they have to say something".....
For the record (since you for some reason are unable to zoom in) that plant is ten feet tall and almost twelve feet wide. She is also still standing... Now, I understand you can not see the full grandeur of her in those two photos. However, you (if you would've looked before typing) can clearly see the lower branches. Branches with leaves that most of us here would recognize as belonging to a cannabis plant.
Your comment was uncalled for ,without thought (as you obviously didn't really look at the picture), indicative of someone with no attention to detail and rude.
For goodness sake, before casting aspersions upon my ability to grow a plant like the one in question, did you bother to look at any of the other photos I've posted on this site???

But the fatter the stem, the fatter the bud
