How to fix leggy plants?

Hello all! I received 4 plants that were about 2-3 ft tall and top heavy. They are growing denser now, and I started topping them off to maintain the height. Currently they are in 3 gallon fabric pots. I supported the skinny bases with wood stakes and ties, but they grew mold :(

Hey If you're in a moist environment those stakes can get mold..your best bet would be to hit a garden store and use tomato stakes, they're sometimes plastic, or ive had some that were a steel wrapped with a plastic/rubber type material. Those will stand up to mold situations better because they're not porous like would will be. With the plants being tall, if you wanted them to be shorter you could always do some super cropping and then secure them to the stakes while they're healing. I used to be afraid to use HST but now I've realized it's very easy and helpful. Good luck with the grow. ✌️
