Should I worry about my bud heavy branches being bent over?

Yep, you want to support them. The weight of the buds could crack a joint where the branch is connected to the plant. That's terrible news, considering water sits there every time it rains. That water has a chance of holding botrytis, which is also known as bud rot. Bud rot infiltrates the plant through wounds on branches and the stalk of the plant. It's not from too much moisture getting into a bud, contrary to popular belief. So, give your plant a nice long shake after each rain, or even heavy dew in the morning, to help prevent branches cracking or breaking. And make sure to stabilize your floppycock branches! I hope this helps. Good luck!

Another way is to gently shake the branches so the excess water comes off. I intend to make a video of this in a few months. Hope it helps.

Also gently shake the colas to remove the excess water. This is mold preventive action.

Absolutely support those branches any way you can... and a tip for drying them off??? - if you have one, use a leaf blower maybe 10 feet away.... you want to dry them out so as not to risk bud rot! Good luck!

Hi! I would recommend tying the branches back up to the upright position to help prevent the stems from breaking! This previous grow I had to remove my scrog and my one big plant ending up leaning. I left it a bit too long before tying it up and it started to rip out of the soil and almost fall out of the pot completely. You def want to avoid that! Good luck and enjoy the harvest!

Hi Yes I would support branches if they look like there getting to heavy 👍 Best of luck bro 🌱
