I would like to talk about not the worse problem to have but definitely an issue if unchecked. After the flowering stretch your new Branch’s start to bend and fall with the weight of falling buds. I have heard add a second trellis, toe them up, stake them, tie them down, plant yoyos and more. Due to the aqward placement of my life I was limited so I had to run a string across for something to tie buds and yoyos off 2. I will show a picture before the issue and the best solution I have at the moment. Any help and ideas appreciated!!! all those arms were laying down in top of other buds almost at a 90 degree Angle in the morning[IMG\_20200718\_143825163\_HDR|666x500](https://ilgmforum.com/uploads/short-url/zeO5zmDJAyvLnbjkX8wUH3lYmyO.jpeg) ![IMG_20200724_151544204_HDR](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/2/d/c/2dc9437f8b1e45f9344175ae458f8cd0435add0f.jpeg) ---

This is what I do: ![20190924_161319](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/7/9/a/79a2a60e9b3c70d326c993aaedc34f0ad4c5d22b.jpeg) SCROGs work well for keeping plants upright late in flower. That plant delivered 14 + oz of primo flower. ---

I started buying these a couple of years ago to hang my branches from for drying. I later discovered they are awesome to hang from a pole at the top of your tent, then run a bunch of strings from the clips to your colas to hang them up.

This is where I’m at no space for tomato cage you think I should just get a secondary trellis? Granted the problem buds although not in the perfect arrangement are all standing and not encroaching on one another so maybe it should hold as is hopefully it’s at an awkward placement under the light ![IMG_20200726_043009938_HDR](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/f/1/2/f1289da00fb781bdfa60749218bdb266c62e4314.jpeg) ---

It always seems to be the one in the back corner that is the problem child. I had a white widow go a little crazy. Used some heavy wire and some pipe cleaners for support and or bend them in the desired direction. I also ran insulated electrical wire diagonally from corner to corner to provide some support. It was a mess to be honest. Make it work ---
