Default My girls are too top heavy!

My 7 girls are 6 weeks into flowering and are too top heavy. The main colas go up to 11 inches long and 2.5-3 inches wide. They have started falling over as the plants are 5-5.5 foot tall.

Anyone else suffer this kind of problem?

it happens... put some hooks in the celing and tie some string to the colas and hooks... that'll keep 'em up

its always a GOOD THING when your buds are just TOO big, huh???!!!

its natural for the colas to bend a bit but theres bending and nearly snapping. some people gently bend them over and thai them to the stem and where you bend the stem you sometimes get more buds forming. anyone got more info on this method.
