Buds to heavy branchs all fallen over

So my gosh i went to check the girls this morning knowing its water day and my biggest girl has all dropped down all around the buds are laying out on the ground like someone sat on top of her! Ive made a support around them holding them all up now and attached these all to top of tent to keep them up, doesnt seem to be any snapped branchs but they did bend over looked like a supercrop bend! Today she went into week 10 ao only has a week or 2 left. 

 

Has anyone had thia happen? Will she die? Feel sick about it.

Top heavy buds will go sideways yes.

 

Canes or yoyos or a net for support will help.

 

The plants not gonna up and die from it but you don't want your buds lying on the ground or against walls as that's a recipe for mold.

 

In future try a drop or 2 of silicone in veg/early flower to increase stem thickness/strength. Having a fan blowing across them helps strengthen stems too.  But ultimately they need support, once stretch is complete use canes or something else to help them stay vertical as they gain weight.

 

Some strains are more prone to it than others ime, strains like cheese can be right floppy feckers aye.

Thanks ive made a support now, ill get some canes and look into silicone.

 

Do you think the branchs bending over and giving way like they did will cause an issue?

 

I guess i wont get any more growth just mature the buds i already have there from the stress?

They will continue to grow and fatten up, just secure them in their natural position :)
