Auto White Widow DP coco grow

The stakes i made out of coat hangers ended up being far to weak for these plants. Within 2-3 hours they ripped them out of the ground and went back upwards. So i swapped over to 1 string tied to the main stalk. The new tops are just being hand trained. 2-3 times a day i re arrange the fan leaves and branches a bit. They showed their sex a few days ago and its getting smelly. I think the older 3 will flip to flower during this week. 9/16 While training one of the old main tops I cracked the stalk. I dont think it even cracked half way through. But out of caution I took a very small piece of duct tape and covered the crack and then use a zip tie very loosley wrapped around the main stalk and a new stronger top next to it.
