Plant stakes for heavy branches???

Do you add structural support to branches before they form buds? People have warned me to add structure to my plant ASAP. I don't see a lot of photos of plants with stakes. My plant is really tall & I didn't train it because I was scared to break it & horizontal space limited.

If you have a fan that blows and gives good air movement to her she should be fine. The fan will help build up her stock and branches.You can always support her later on if needed.

Stakes are generally not needed, the plant will strengthen herself to be able to hold up the flowers naturally.

Their are a few different ways to deal with your dilemma, you could stake the lower branches but to stake them all would be a lot of steaks in your soil. Lol you can also use some smaller string or twine and tie them up to your tent. This method doesn’t let you move it out afterwards though, your tied in to the tent. Lol the best thing would probably be to use one or 2 main stakes running the entire hight of your plant and stake the main stem, then tie everything else off of the main stem or another branch that has already been tied off. Kyle Kushman has a great video on YouTube of him showing this process of staking and tying to each other. I haven’t tried it myself but it seems like it would be a great idea for large plants like yours. Mine are usually trained and under 2 screens for support. Something to think about maybe for next time. Hope this helps and makes sense...lol Cheers 💨
