Only thing i can see is keeping her supported as it gets heavier. That's a lot of top hanging on a hinge. Lol. Might consider additional support from roof

I had this happen to me with my Tangerine Dream grow... I was adjusting the lights to rest on the top of the crossbars in my tent because those silly ladies were growing FAR too big! I ended up tying a string around the mid-point between the bend and the tip of the bud and then tying it to the crossbar ... it supported the whole thing and actually turned out to be a great thing as those lower bud sites really came into their own and were super-sized... The plant didn't even blink at the HST.... Just support the bent-over part in some fashion and she'll be just fine! Good luck!

if you can it would be better to make 2 more bends. instead of doing a straight 90 and having a large crease. having 3 minot bends will heal faster and allow for more nutrition to go through.

Bending branch I decided to bend the branch to form a bush.The stem was quite thick and when I bent it, I formed a large bend radius, but the next day I noticed that it took a sharp angle. How bad is it, and if it's bad, how to fix it? Thanks in advance🙏

Outdoor growers: fim/top?I want to make sure to clarify that this question is only for outdoor growers with a photoperiod limited solely by the nature of the changing seasons. Should I even bother with fim/topping? Is the juice worth the squeeze? Let me know your thoughts, or even better, results

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?

Brownish stem color after supercropping Is it normal that the stem turns brownish at the bending site, on all four supercropped plants? It must be, since all flowers and leaves are looking perfectly healthy on the bent apexes, but still I wonder whether it may become weak spots later. Thanks!
