Buds so big plant limbs are negative inclination

I’m a noob, only 3rd female plant I’ve gotten to bud/harvest. I am a 1 plant at a time kinda guy, I’m studious and record.

my plant is final stage(flushing), massive buds(average estimation is 2.125” or about 52mm). Strain is “banana crush”(people love naming their weed themselves).

my brain says it’s the 20% added water it’s absorbing. Yet my worry is I was inadequate at some point?

Nah, that's pretty common with alot of heavy yielding strains. Without a photo, it's hard to say forsure, but I think you're good.

No, just a typical hybrid; Bros. Grimm Cinderella Purple.

I generally add the trellis netting as needed.
I guess pretty much everything is hybrid these days(not a bad thing). You just gave me the idea to treat a plant like an indoor tomatoe….. it should focus everything in the fruit, and nothing on its structure. Think that through.

With nothing to germinate the tomato plant, you end up with a plant that is more yellow with flowers than it is green,…but only if grow it without wind, like a vine.

Most weed is polyhybridized towards indicas.

There are pure sativas and pure indicas out there, in fact it seems like there's a preservationists Renaissance going on atm.

Was the trellis installed before it grew, or later?
Actually kinda both: One net was left behind from the previous grow, I just slide it up and out of the way until needed. The second net was installed much later. It takes more time to cut the netting than install it with a few zip ties.

Come harvest time, the top net can usually be slid up and re-used, the lower net is cut as necessary to remove the branches, it's dirt cheap to replace.

Its genetics and even old skool weed had this problem for example big bud and critical mass does and real skunk 1 makes ridiculous huge buds on super too thin stems some stuff needs support or it will break due to the weight of the buds fact
and this is because people didnt select hard for only plants that can hold there own weight up or you wouldn't be seeing this problem
