My Banana Kush is becoming the leaning tower of piza. I hear adding silica will help strengthen the stem and branches. Is this true? What brand of silica is suggested? Thanks for your input. [20231015_132306] [20231015_132256]

I think it’s late for silica I’d use a stick to keep that up @MidwestGuy @kaptain3d

Good job ! Grow Problems :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::rofl: [IMG_2790] Beer can size buds get heavy !!

I use bamboo stalks from lowes. Just picked up a bunch for about 20 bucks

Too late for silica to “save” that branch imo. A stake will help to hold the weight of the buds. :nerd_face:

Ok, one of the things I’ve not accomplished is those giant beer can buds. What’s the trick?

Thanks for all the responses! I did get some bamboo sticks to hold things up, a good solution for the moment. But for future reference I think I’d like to try adding silica if it helps. But I don’t know anything about silica. Can I get some insight to its use and recomendations?
