One of the larger buds has a broken branch. I tried fixing a few times before giving up on saving it.
Two questions:
What methods of support are people using? I would like to try more than one way. I did try the outside method - you trellis net the whole plant and the branches support each other - didn’t work in this case. I am rusty it’s been a few decades since I’ve even seen a cannabis plant. So any ideas are welcome.
Question two
What methods have you seen work for fixing a broken branch?
I didn’t tape this one, but wish I had included that method along with support.
Start of flower week 7 (of about 12)
The plant was near the door for awhile. About a week ago I broke a branch while cleaning the tent floor. I supported it and after a few days it seemed fine. Today it was worse (maybe someone was poking their head in there while I slept).

Just looked up ”garden wire” on amazon and see how that will work better for this project.
I own bamboo poles, but no garden wire. So tonight, if I can’t come up with something better, will add the poles and use string on the floppy looking buds.
I own regular hobby wire around 20 gage - do you think that would work?

My next iteration is going to be a stretch of autos. I plan on starting a couple at a time, and then harvesting 2 or 3 at a time. So a trellis will be more trouble then not.
ok so. I think this is what you are describing:
each pot gets four bamboo states
Then you attach string to the bamboo going around creating support?

Hi, I usually go with 4 bamboo poles per pot and then use gardening wire to create support structures and I will also tie floppy branches right to the poles in some cases.
I don't add the poles and wire until things start to look a little floppy and top heavy. I then adjust the supports as the plant gets bigger.
I grow more than one strain at a time and each plant will be a different age all in the same tent, so a trellis does not work well for me.
